How to upload image using MultipartEntity in Android HttpPost?

Question

Image not upload using MultipartEntity.

Gives status code 200 but image not updated on serverside.

 String responseBody;
            HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost request = new HttpPost(
                    "http__zz/upload_picture?key=abc&property_id=10");

            MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity(
                    HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);

            File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
                    Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM).toString()
                    + "/Camera/Test.jpg");
            ContentBody encFile = new FileBody(file, "image/png");

            entity.addPart("picture", encFile);

            request.setEntity(entity);

            ResponseHandler<String> responsehandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
            responseBody = client.execute(request, responsehandler);

            if (responseBody != null && responseBody.length() > 0) {
                Log.w("TAG", "Response image upload" + responseBody);

            }

please detail your issue. Error if any, expected result, actual result, method of debugging used, why would you expect a responseBody.length() > 0, ... There is just not enough information here to understand your problem — njzk2

Try using a ByteArrayBody instead of a FileBody:

File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
                    Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM).toString()
                    + "/Camera/Test.jpg");
Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file;
ByteArrayOutputStream bao = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
b.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bao);

ByteArrayBody body = new ByteArrayBody(bao.toByteArray(), "image/jpeg", "picture");
entity.addPart("picture", body);

Why don't you try to send it as base64 encoded string?

the best way to do this is to implement an IntentService and notify status with broadcast intents. please check out this code from git its work for me
