Send image as json entry android

Question

I have a requirement where, i am sending a json file to the server and the parsing happens at the server side. I have created the entries to the json file, now i want to store an image stored in imageview as an entry to the json file. Searched several previous posts but could not find exactly what to do. Any pointers would be of great help for storing the image in json format for sending through server.

If you want to include Image in a JSON object which you will be sending in a request, convert Image into Base64 string and put this string into the JSON object.

For example:

String encodedImage = Base64.encodeToString(byteArrayImage, Base64.DEFAULT);
