Answer 1

Try base64-encoding the image (like below, where the Uri is your Image - but beware: ImageView has no Getter for the ImageUri, so you have to store it by yourself!):

Uri uri = (Uri) extras.getParcelable(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM);

ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
InputStream is = cr.openInputStream(uri);

byte[] data = getBytesFromFile(is);

byte[] encoded_data = Base64.encodeBase64(data);
data_string = new String(encoded_data);

Now you have an base64-encoded String data_string that you can send with your JSON request. On the server-side you just have to decode the String and save the picture.
