Trying to figure what's wrong with my codings. I followed a blog post from here. I managed to get the codes to actually upload the file to a PHP web service. However, for some reason although I've set explicitly the MIME type for the file, PHP shows that the MIME is just a blank string and therefore rejected.

I would like to a mimetype to Android Web browser, to allow opening my application when a certain mime type file is downloaded by the web browser. Apparently, only media file's mime type can be supported by the web browser. Is it right? How can I do it?
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy app has two private file formats with distinctive extensions. How to I register their MIME types and associate them with file extensions? My understanding that then my app can be launched to handle a file. How is this done and how to extract the file path my app is launched to handle?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using JB 1.4.2 on Razr i. There's one thing that's annoying me a lot. I've installed the SNES Emulator SuperGNES and I've found that every single file type that have no app associated is showing SuperGNES icon and associated with it. Example: .log, .db, etc. Even files that have no extension is associated with it. The same problem occur when ZArchiver is installed. I don't know if it's a bug of these two apps or Android's in general. Remembering that this associations are shown only inside Android's native file manager. It's like every "unknown MIME type file" act like being the same.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI kept my .apk file in my "apache" webserver at "Document root" path. This is the only file at Document Root . I had removed index.html file at this location. If I keep the index.html file then other files where not displayed if I open the URL i.e http://<ip_address> using a web browser Now from my Google phone browser I'm able to download the apk file and and install it in Google phone. Note 1: I had not done any settings to add the MIME type "application/ vnd.android.package-archive" in apache web server. Note 2: I was connecting to my webserver through WiFi. But the same apk file I was not able to download from my Gmail (as attachment) and I got "unknown file type" error in this case. After reading few related topics, I came to know about the MIME type support required in webserver for android applications. Now I'm wondering how come file gets installed sucessfully from my apache webserver even without adding the MIME type "application/ vnd.android.package-archive". Any clues what's happening here?

I am writing an application to upload a file from Android phone to a web server. I have tried the example from:
http://www.anddev.org/novice-tutorials-f8/doing-http-post-with-android
But it will only work for SDK 1.0 (why? Not Sure?).Can this be done for Android 2.1? Or is there any other method to load a file from Android to a webserver?
I am developing an Android app which enables the user to upload a file to services like Twitpic and others.
The POST upload is done without any external libraries and works just fine. My only problem is, that I can't grab any progress because all the uploading is done when I receive the response, not while writing the bytes into the outputstream.
I would like to run my app when a file extention is selected (from web browser, file browser, mail, ... : from everywhere in Android)
So : can I have a clear example of Manifest/xml and Java code to handle, let's say "*.doc" ?

I want to register my application for files of a certain popular and well-documented MIME-type. The problem is that Android does not seem to recognize this MIME-type. The following sample code demonstrates this:
package com.example.helloandroid;
import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.widget.TextView;
public class HelloAndroid extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); TextView tv = new TextView(this); tv.setText("Hello, Android"); setContentView(tv); String extn = android.webkit.MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl("/data/a.xyz"); String xyzMimeType = android.webkit.MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension (extn); Log.d ("HelloAndroid", "extn: " + extn + " | xyzMimeType: " + xyzMimeType); }
}

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a pretty basic helper class that I'm using to do all my Http Get/Post stuff. I'm using HttpGet, HttpPost, and HttpClient from the org.apache.http library. All of my stuff works fine over HTTP, but as soon as I tried to consume a service that works over HTTPS, I get a ClientProtocolException when executing the request. The only message in the exception is "The server failed to respond with a valid HTTP response".
To test, I sent the exact same payload from a browser using a simple html form and Fiddler2 using the RequestBuilder. I've sent invalid and empty payloads and even sent all of the above with and without headers to see if there was something funky about the way the objects were building the request.
Everything I've used in testing gives me a valid 200 status HTTP response. The service just gives me a structure describing the error if I give it something other than what it expects.
Is there something special I need to add to the HttpPost or HttpClient object(s) to tell it to use HTTPS? Do I have to explicitly tell it to use a different port?
I indeed registered the wrong socket factory for https communication. Here is the updated method that I use to create my HttpClient object with the correct socket factory just in case someone searches this kind of problem in the future:

I'm getting a problem making an HTTP POST in Android.
The problem occur when the code is reading the response, it cant obtain the complete web page code I want to retrieve.
I only retrieve a piece of the web.
Here is the code:
CODE:..............
I've been working on an app that uses both GET and POST requests to Web Services. The GET requests are no problems but the POST requests are killing me. I've tried 2 different scenarios in the code. The first looks like this...
CODE:......
This code gets this result for me..."Bad Request (Invalid Header Name)"
Now here's my second piece of code...
CODE:.....
This gives me an entirely different result. It's a long garbled mess of xml and SOAP that does have a SOAP Exception mentioned in it..."Server was unable to process request. --- System.Xml.XmlException: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1." Now, can anyone shed any light on what I am doing wrong.
I would like to develop an application that uploads an image and some text data about that image.
To do that, I am trying to create a HTTP Multipart Post, as follows:
code:..........
My doubt is: how can I extract those values in the server? I would like to develop a Servlet to receive and process the post requests. In this Servlet I would need to extract these values in th request. Can you help me? Do you have any sample of server to answer the android multipart requests?
Let's say I want to perform a quick HTTP post to a website within my android app. If I were to set up the http client and send the post all in the onCreate method of the main screen (inside the UI thread) just for testing purposes, what would I use to quickly see what the response is to the post? I tried something quick and dirty below inside the onCreate method when the app first opens and nothing really happens, is there something more I need to do/obviously my toast idea is just bad.
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://forecast.weather.gov/zipcity.php?inputstring=04419");
HttpResponse httpResp;
try {
httpResp = httpClient.execute(post);
StatusLine status = httpResp.getStatusLine();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), (CharSequence) status, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();}
CODE:..............
Always, I get the status code as 405. I tried request queue as well.. sneding the byte array as part of the request queue, still the same issue.
GI am trying to do a http post to a php script. the method works if I place it in the onCreate event of the application but gets a ConnectionTimeOut error when it tries to execute it from the service.

I am new to Android development since my EVO purchase a few months ago. Anyway, I am developing my first Android app using Eclipse and Android SDK emulator. I am trying to do a simple HTTP POST.

Could someone please suggest me a good/efficient way to communicate with the server. I could think of two options 1) Use http post methods to send data to a php script at the server which would later call the google api's written in another java program (jar)or use php to use google api's (if its possible) to find nearby restaurants and send the list back to client. 2) Use simple java socket programming. The server has a jar file that supports multi threading and it does the job of finding restaurants and sending the list.

My problem is that I'm not sure of what I have done and I don't find the "translation" of some methods...
This is the HttpClient 3.x I have done and (-->) the HttpClient 4.x "translation" if I have found it (Only parties who ask me problems) :

I don't know if that is correct. This has caused problems because the packages are not named similarly, and some methods too. I just need documentation (I haven't found) and little help.
I am trying to upload a video to an api and I was wondering how you show a progress bar show and also dismiss it when an upload has finished? Also, while were at it, do you see anything wrong with my pattern.compile for my edit boxes?
Code:
public class Loadvid extends AsyncTask <Object,Integer,String>{
EditText etxt_user = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.user_email);
EditText etxt_pass = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.friend_email);

But it doesn't work. When i click on the button to send, it shows the handler for 2 seconds then brings up an error close.Error log.
Do you know how to set Content-Type on HttpURLConnection? Following code is on Blackberry and I want the Android equivalent:
connection.setRequestProperty("content-type", "text/plain; charset=utf-8");
connection.setRequestProperty("Host", "192.168.1.36");
connection.setRequestProperty("Expect", "100-continue").
I am using a DefaultHttpClient and a ThreadSafeClientConnManager to share the httpClient across threads. That part is working well. However, when I execute an HttpPost in one thread, and call httpPost.abort() from another. It does not return immediately and continues blocking until the socket timeout is reached in most cases. Am I missing something else? I've tried using: connectionManager.closeIdleConnections(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS); connectionManager.closeExpiredConnections();

The problem is mostly described in the following article: [URL] .....
Basically I am currently working on an ASP.NET application that bundles bunch of files into a zip and pushes it back to the client via the response output stream.
Now this works fine in Firefox and in the ICS 4.0 stock browser, but doesn't work on the clients Galaxy Tab running Honeycomb 3.0. What happens is it appears to download the html of the page instead.
