Upload picture to server

Question

I\'ve googled a lot but it doesn\'t work. I found a lot of sites with information but by all the sites my app crashed. The picture that I want to open is: \"lastfile.png\".

Answer 1

The way I did it was to compress the img in to a type of string then send it as name value pair then decode the string on server end using php.

Bitmap bitmapOrg = BitmapFactory.decodeResource("your image path on device");

        ByteArrayOutputStream bao = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bitmapOrg.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, bao);
        byte [] ba = bao.toByteArray();
        String ba1= Base64.encodeToString(ba, 0);
         ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new
ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("image",ba1));

try{

                HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
                HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://your_url/sink.php");
                httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
                HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
                HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
                is = entity.getContent();
          }catch(Exception e){

                Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection "+e.toString());
          } 

SINK.PHP

<?php

$base=$_REQUEST['image'];
$name=$_REQUEST['name'];
echo $base;
// base64 encoded utf-8 string
$binary=base64_decode($base);
// binary, utf-8 bytes
header('Content-Type: bitmap; charset=utf-8');


$file = fopen(name, 'wb');
fwrite($file, $binary);
fclose($file);
echo '<img src='+name+'>';

?>
