Upload large file with progress bar and without OutOfMemory Error in Android

Question

I am having some problem while uploading large video file(upto 150MB)

1.When I use this code Link1 .I able to upload small file with progress bar ,but as my file is large so android give me OutOfMemory Error.

2.If I use this code Link2. i am able to upload large file(this is really a good solution) but don't know how to show progess(like 20% complete or 80% complete and so on).so Please guide me.

Answer 1

Finally I got solution of my question I want to share it ...

1.First solution Link1 This solution is ok with small files like image upload upto 15MB .But I could not get rid from OutOfMemory error if file is very large.

2.Second solution(Link2) is really a good solution and for showing progress bar I used a custom MultipartEntity class. Code is here:

    import java.io.FilterOutputStream;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.OutputStream;
    import java.nio.charset.Charset;

    import org.apache.http.entity.mime.HttpMultipartMode;
    import org.apache.http.entity.mime.MultipartEntity;

    public class CustomMultiPartEntity extends MultipartEntity

{

    private final ProgressListener listener;

    public CustomMultiPartEntity(final ProgressListener listener)
    {
        super();
        this.listener = listener;
    }

    public CustomMultiPartEntity(final HttpMultipartMode mode, final ProgressListener listener)
    {
        super(mode);
        this.listener = listener;
    }

    public CustomMultiPartEntity(HttpMultipartMode mode, final String boundary, final Charset charset, final ProgressListener listener)
    {
        super(mode, boundary, charset);
        this.listener = listener;
    }

    @Override
    public void writeTo(final OutputStream outstream) throws IOException
    {
        super.writeTo(new CountingOutputStream(outstream, this.listener));
    }

    public static interface ProgressListener
    {
        void transferred(long num);
    }

    public static class CountingOutputStream extends FilterOutputStream
    {

        private final ProgressListener listener;
        private long transferred;

        public CountingOutputStream(final OutputStream out, final ProgressListener listener)
        {
            super(out);
            this.listener = listener;
            this.transferred = 0;
        }

        public void write(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
        {
            out.write(b, off, len);
            this.transferred += len;
            this.listener.transferred(this.transferred);
        }

        public void write(int b) throws IOException
        {
            out.write(b);
            this.transferred++;
            this.listener.transferred(this.transferred);
        }
    }
}

And my activity code is

import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

                entity.addPart("type", new StringBody("video"));
                entity.addPart("uploadedfile", new FileBody(sourceFile));
                totalSize = entity.getContentLength();
                httppost.setEntity(entity);
                HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
                HttpEntity r_entity = response.getEntity();
                responseString = EntityUtils.toString(r_entity);

            } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
                responseString = e.toString();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                responseString = e.toString();
            }

            return responseString;

        }


        @Override
