Android :: Multipart File Post Fails
Jul 13, 2009
I have a class that implements a multipart file upload. The code works on every java client I've tried it on but does not work on Android, *and* it's the only HTTP request code in my Android app that doesn't play nice with my back end service. I've looked through the posts to see if other are having similar issues but so far have only found posts like this http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/c4b0270153d194d9 , which are nearly the same as mine. T The symtoms I'm seeing are that the connection responseCode is "-1" & no entries show up in the Apache access or error logs. It seems as if the request is never making it off of the android platform. The code gets right through the connection writes in the debugger with no errors, but hangs on the connection read, times out and then returns with -1. Behavior is same for real phone and emulator. As I mentioned, this code is in use elsewhere and works fine.
Does anyone know of any gotchas one needs to look out for when posting a multipart file in Android? Anything about doing a POST or a POST w/ data on Android?
I'm including the code/class below so you can see what I'm up to.

I'm working on a sample application that does FileUpload using Multipart post, with Andorid 1.6 SDK the application works as expected but with 2.1 there is an issue basically the application does not execute and stays stale as soon as the upload process has started.
Basically, i use "java.net.URLConnection" for establishing connectivity with the server. Is there any changes made with the core Java API's in Android SDK 2.1 that causes this issue.

I'm trying to do something I thought would be relatively simple: Upload an image to a server with the Android SDK. I'm found a lot of example code:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/f9e17bbaf50c5fc/46145fcacd450e48
[url]
But neither work for me. The confusion I keep running into is what is really needed to make a multipart request. What is the simplest way to have a multipart upload (with an image) for Android?

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?

I use the following code to create a folder "mymir" and a file ".nomedia" (in the mymir-folder) on the sdcard of an android unit. However, somehow it fails with the exception that the folder the ".nomedia"-file is to be placed in dosn't exist.
Here's the code:

Ive tried giving Ant more memory by setting ANT_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m". (This build machine has 1Gb RAM). Do I just need more memory or is there anything else I can try?

I have an activity that uses VideoView and MediaController. I have a .mp4 file. When I put the file in res/raw folder, I can play the video using Uri.parse("android.resource://<package>/" + R.raw.id_video)
However, when I put the same file in the filesystem, it plays properly. I use videoView.setVideoPath("/sdcard/myfile.mp4");

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?

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 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.

My Django view generates a PDF via pycairo in response to a POST (I'm not redirecting in response to the POST). When I POST using desktop browsers I can save and/or view the PDF using Adobe Reader or Document Viewer. However, when I POST via my android browsers the Adobe PDF Reader and the ThinkFree viewers both report the file as corrupted.
Looking in the logfiles on my appserver both Android browsers are sending a POST followed immediately by a GET for the same page:
CODE:.....
When I look at the file saved to the phone it is the HTML of the GET request.
Here's a skeleton of the view:
CODE:...........................
So I'm wondering what could be causing the android browsers to perform the GET?

HttpClient 4 doesn't have that included anymore. The upstream project didn't integrate it from the 3.x client. I had to do exactly the same today. Basically I solved it by including some additional jars: mime4j httpmime This question was already on the list and there's some better explanation: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/1ea124b384da9dc2 -- Urs My problem is that while i know what i have to include, i can't find a sensible download link for httpmime. the page points back to httpcore for downloads, but of course it's not in there any more (i checked). i was up for compiling it, but the source link takes me to the javadoc! something is definitely screwed up.

I'm trying to do multipart form upload using the 4.x httpclient on android. all the 4.x code samples I'm seeing use org.apache.http.entity.mime.MultipartEntity, but I'm running into a roadblock trying to find it. It's supposed to be in the httpmime project, but the download link for that project leads me back to httpcore, and the httpcore download doesn't contain that class. anyone else get multi part form upload to work?

As described in this answer you cannot grab a progress of a multipart/form POST upload in Android using only the Android SDK, because there is an issue with the stream buffering when using HttpURLConnection which will be fixed post Froyo (see http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3164#c6).
Since the Apache HttpClient 3.1 was removed from the SDK quite early and the new HttpClient, which is now part of the SDK, wasn't adopted completely (it misses multipart capabilities) you can add the missing parts (specifically apache-mime4j-0.6.jar and httpmime-4.0.1.jar) to perform a multipart/form-data upload AND grab the progress of the upload (also described in the answer mentioned above).
Now, the reason why I open a new question is, that doing as described leads to an enormous growth of the installed app size (in my case from 170kb to 732kb).
So, the question is: Is there any other way to perform a multipart/form-data upload and grab the upload progress without increasing the app size that much? Are there any other libraries one can use or is there any other alternative way, not mentioned here?

As part of my Android app, I'd like to upload bitmaps to be remotely stored. I have simple HTTP GET and POST communication working perfectly, but documentation on how to do a multipart POST seems to be as rare as unicorns.
Furthermore, I'd like to transmit the image directly from memory, instead of working with a file. In the example code below, I'm getting a byte array from a file to be used later on with HttpClient and MultipartEntity.
CODE:..............
This all seems fairly clear to me, except that I can't for the life of me find out where to get this ByteArrayPartSource. I have linked to the httpclient and httpmime JAR files, but no dice. I hear that the package structure changed drastically between HttpClient 3.x and 4.x.
Is anyone using this ByteArrayPartSource in Android, and how did they import it?
After digging around in the documentation and scouring the Internet, I came up with something that fit my needs. To make a multipart request such as a form POST, the following code did the trick for me:
CODE:.....
The HTTPMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE bit is very important.

In response to a request over here: http://bit.ly/E1Qqm
This is some sample code for uploading an image to the web, as part of a multipart message. It assumes that the photo is stored on the SD card as "photo.jpg". You'll need to download and add a couple of jar files to the project's built path - commons-httpclient.jar and httpcomponents-client-4.0-alpha4.
It is working on my device. However (big caveats here) - it's much slower than I would like, and much slower than other applications I've installed that upload photos. It also feels hacky - e.g. the way the background thread communicates problems with the upload to the main thread using variables. I'm sure there must be a neater way to do it.
If you figure out a way to improve the code,

I have upgraded my phone's images to Android 1.5 images (from http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html) Now when I try commands like adb remount, chmod, adb push etc I get "Operation not permitted" and "Permission denied" errors
I was able to give this command when I had 1.0 images flashed on my phone.
Has something related to permissions changed with Android 1.5?

When I try to install the android SDK it fails to install.
My OS is Windows XP. I just downloaded and installed Java JDK 1.6 Java -version from the command line returns: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask java version "1.6.0_17" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
My environment vars have: JAVA_HOME=c:progra~1javajdk1.6.0_11. I downloaded android-sdk-r04-windows.zip. I unziped it in V:AndroidInstall
When I go to the V:androindinstallandroid-sdk-windows> and type "SDK Install.exe" nothing happens...If I go this from graph
When I do this from a graphical file viewer I get a quick flash that looks like a command line window and nothing....
When I try to run android list targets from the tool directory I get:
Error: Error parsing the sdk.
Error: V:androindinstallandroid-sdk-windowsplatforms is missing.
Error: Unable to parse SDK content.
So the basic install setup is not happening.
Additional clues:
I have a G1 and Android 1.0 was running on this machine. (Almost a year ago) I've updated my G1 to 1.6 so I thought I'd update my SDK before starting new development.
When I tried to upgrade it tried and then died as the "directory was in use"
So I cleaned out all the android directories, rebooted and redownloaded everythign from scratch.
Now it won't run at all.
I've clearly got something in an unhappy state, but I've cleaned up all the directories and no remanants seem to be running I've rebooted....

I'm using the SAX parser to read some RSS feeds and have found a problem. Some feeds, for example CNN Money Top Stories, have embedded some characters in their content, i.e. the copyright symbol. Well, that's not valid XML and the SAX Parser fails with an exception "invalid token". The only help I have seen given is to fix the XML at the source and that's not an option obviously. So, I can think of 2 options and they both stink:
(a) read the content first, scrub it, and then pass it to the parser.
(b) Use DOM instead of SAX.
What I *want* to do is make the parser a little more forgiving and just accept or discard/ignore the bad text. I'm not have any luck with setErrorHandler. My error handler does not get called.

I recently upgraded my SDK from 7 to 8. One of my applications uses Google GeoCoding, specifically the Geocoder object. After the upgrade, when I call the getFromLocation method, it doesn't return any addresses and I see a message in the logcat to the effect that GLS failed with status 20. My Google Maps API key is working fine because I'm seeing the map tiles, but GeoCoding is broken. It works fine if I run a previous (SDK 7) build of my app.

The following code works when I either have no min sdk version specified in the app manifest or if it's 5 or greater. But if I set the min sdk level to 4 (Android 1.6) , it fails to create a subdirectory in the sdcard.
There is no error. mkdir() or mkdirs() just returns false.
CODE:....
Am I doing something wrong here? Or is this a bug? I'd prefer not to set the target to 2.1 and min version to 1.6. But right now, I have to set it to 2.0 for it to work.
