Android File Upload Using HTTP PUT

Question

I have a web service which requires me to send file data to HTTP url with PUT request. I know how to do that but in Android I don\'t know it.

The API docs gives a sa

Answer 1

try something similar to

try {
URL url = new URL(Host + "images/upload/" + Name + "/");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestMethod("PUT");
    // etc.

    } catch (Exception e) { //handle the exception !}

EDIT - another and better option:

Using the built-in HttpPut is recommended - examples see http://massapi.com/class/org/apache/http/client/methods/HttpPut.java.html

EDIT 2 - as requested per comment:

Use setEntity method with for example new FileEntity(new File(Path), "binary/octet-stream"); as param before calling execute to add a file to the PUT request.

Answer 2

The following code works fine for me:

URI uri = new URI(url);
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(uri);

File file = new File(filename);         

MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity();
ContentBody body = new FileBody(file, "image/jpeg");
entity.addPart("userfile", body);

post.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(post);
HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();
