I am really new to programming Flask APIs. Is there any way to send a audio file which is recorded on an android device to my flask server? Should I send audio file byte by byte or is there a way to send it directly ?

Save the audio and use multipart
In your flask script
@app.route('/uploadfile',methods=['GET','POST'])
def uploadfile():
if request.method == 'PUT':
f = request.files['file']
filePath = "./somedir/"+secure_filename(f.filename)
f.save(filePath)
return "success"
In your android app
public static void upload(String path) throws IOException{
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder().connectTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS).writeTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS).readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS).build();
MultipartBody.Builder mMultipartBody = new MultipartBody.Builder().setType(MultipartBody.FORM).
mMultipartBody.addFormDataPart("file","upload",new CountingFileRequestBody(new File(path),"*/*", null));
RequestBody mRequestBody = mMultipartBody.build();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url("yourUrl/uploadfile").post(mRequestBody)
.build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
String responseString = response.body().string();
}
