Show upload image progress Multipart

Question

In Fragment B, I have a submit button used to submit image to server. When submit button is clicked, it will return to Fragment A. I using Multipart to upload image to server, and the process is running on Thread so user can do other task while waiting image to upload.

Fragment B (when submit button is clicked)

 inner class SimpleThread() :Thread() {
            override fun run() {
                for (i in newList!!) {
                    val service = RetrofitFactory.makeRetrofitService()
                    GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
                        val request2 = WebApi.createImage(
                            activity,File(i)
                        )
                    }
                }
            }

WebApi

suspend fun createImage(
        file: File?
    ): WebApiResponse.Image? {
        val image = file?.let {
            MultipartBody.Part.createFormData(
                "image",
                it.getName(),
                RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("image/*"), it)
            )
        }

        return RetrofitFactory.apiCall(context) {
            RetrofitFactory.makeRetrofitService().submitImages(
              image
            )
        }
    }

RetrofitService

@Multipart
    @POST("create_image")
    fun submitImages(
        @Part image: MultipartBody.Part?
    ): Deferred<Response<WebApiResponse.Image>>

I am able to upload image to server, but how can I show a upload image progress on Fragment A ?

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

so after just a little bit of research I found two ways for you

1- if you are using RxJava I would suggest to follow the instructions and cautions in this link display progress of multipart with retrofit using RxJava

2- if you are not using RxJava add a ProgressResponseBody to the retrofit builder that would look something like this:

public class ProgressRequestBody extends RequestBody {
private File mFile;
private String mPath;
private UploadCallbacks mListener;
private String content_type;

private static final int DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE = 2048;

public interface UploadCallbacks {
    void onProgressUpdate(int percentage);
    void onError();
    void onFinish();
}

for this one you should use this answer

Answer 2

I guess you can use WorkManaget or IntenService for showing the progress. A sample to send via retrofit2 You can start the process in service. The service can send a new event.
