Convert docx, doc to base64 android

Question

I am trying to get the docx file as shown below

 public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(req         


        

Answer 1

Try this, Hope it will work, I did for .pdf and .doc

public static String convertFileToByteArray(File f) {
    byte[] byteArray = null;
    try {
        InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(f);
        ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        byte[] b = new byte[1024 * 11];
        int bytesRead = 0;

        while ((bytesRead = inputStream.read(b)) != -1) {
            bos.write(b, 0, bytesRead);
        }

        byteArray = bos.toByteArray();

        Log.e("Byte array", ">" + byteArray);

    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return Base64.encodeToString(byteArray, Base64.NO_WRAP);
}

For picking file :

private void chooseFile() {
    try {
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
        intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);
        intent.setType("*/*");
        try {
            startActivityForResult(intent, LOAD_IMAGE_RESULTS);

        } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {

        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

The above code always returns a nullpointerexception but this solved it without any error

// Converting File to Base64.encode String type using Method
    public String getStringFile(File f) {
        InputStream inputStream = null; 
        String encodedFile= "", lastVal;
        try {
            inputStream = new FileInputStream(f.getAbsolutePath());

        byte[] buffer = new byte[10240];//specify the size to allow
        int bytesRead;
        ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        Base64OutputStream output64 = new Base64OutputStream(output, Base64.DEFAULT);

            while ((bytesRead = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
                output64.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
            }
        output64.close();
        encodedFile =  output.toString();
        } 
         catch (FileNotFoundException e1 ) {
                e1.printStackTrace();
            }
            catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        lastVal = encodedFile;
        return lastVal;
    }
