How to POST a bitmap to a server using Retrofit/Android

Question

I\'m trying to post a bitmap to a server using Android and Retrofit.

Currently I know how to post a file, but I\'d prefer to send a bitmap dir

Answer 1

Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher);
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();

you can convert your bitmap into a byte array and then after post this byte array into the server else you can make one tempory file for example

File file = new File(this.getCacheDir(), filename);

file directly uplaod into the server
