Question

I\'m sharing the solution to send an image , audio or a video file with parameters using HttpURL

Answer 1

You can use Retrofit for API call. Minimum support for Android is 2.3. Please check details.

Answer 2

You can make it more simpler! Try the following.

public static String uploadImage(Bitmap bitmap, String urlString) {
    try {
        ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bitmap = Local.resize(bitmap, 512, 512);
        if(filename.toLowerCase().endsWith("jpg") || filename.toLowerCase().endsWith("jpeg"))
            bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 70, bos);
        if(filename.toLowerCase().endsWith("png"))
            bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 70, bos);
        ContentBody contentPart = new ByteArrayBody(bos.toByteArray(), filename);
        ContentBody body1 = new StringBody("something");
        ContentBody body2 = new StringBody("something");
        org.apache.http.entity.mime.MultipartEntity reqEntity = new org.apache.http.entity.mime.MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
        reqEntity.addPart("image", contentPart);
        reqEntity.addPart("sample1", body1);
        reqEntity.addPart("sample2", body2);
        URL url = new URL(urlString);
        HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        conn.setReadTimeout(10000);
        conn.setConnectTimeout(15000);
        conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
        conn.setUseCaches(false);
        conn.setDoInput(true);
        conn.setDoOutput(true);
        conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
        conn.addRequestProperty("Content-length", reqEntity.getContentLength()+"");
        conn.addRequestProperty(reqEntity.getContentType().getName(), reqEntity.getContentType().getValue());
        OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();
        reqEntity.writeTo(conn.getOutputStream());
        os.close();
        conn.connect();
        if (conn.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
            Log.d("UPLOAD", "HTTP 200 OK.");
            return readStream(conn.getInputStream());
            //This return returns the response from the upload.
        } else {
            Log.d("UPLOAD", "HTTP "+conn.getResponseCode()+" "+conn.getResponseMessage()+".");
            String stream =  readStream(conn.getInputStream());
            //Log.d("UPLOAD", "Response: "+stream);
            return stream;
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.d("UPLOAD_ERROR", "Multipart POST Error: " + e + "(" + urlString + ")");
    }
    return null;
}
