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.

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 have a camera Activity after which i take a picture and saving it to gallery and uploading to the server My upload code is not working, i need help on this? // image capture
Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
//image Saving
if (requestCode == 0 && resultCode == RESULT_OK)
{ Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
Bitmap b = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
ImageView mImg;
mImg = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.head);
mImg.setImageBitmap(b);
// save image to gallery
Shot = "HeadShot"; //Long.toString(System.currentTimeMillis());
MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), b, Shot, NAME);
//Upload to the server public void Upload(String url, HttpEntity imgdata) throws Exception, Exception {
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
post.setHeader("Content-Type", "bitmap; charset=utf-8");
post.setURI(new URI(url));
post.setEntity(imgdata);
HttpUriRequest request = post;
HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
return entity.getContent();
I need to pass some values to a URL by Post Method in my apllication. Please Help
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 am trying to upload file to php server using following tutorial http://getablogger.blogspot.com/2008/01/android-how-to-post-file-to-php-server.html

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. My real code has my login information hard coded in so I replaced it with test information and I changed the url as well to simply POST to google.com. I am getting a NullPointerException when trying to view the HTTP POST request response. I have added the internet permissions to my manifest xml file as well. Code...

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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm doing a Get and Post method for an android project and I need to "translate" HttpClient 3.x to HttpClient 4.x (using by android).
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);
[code]...
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.
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.
I am trying to post data to the Blob Store on google's app engine, this code runs without throwing any exceptions, but on the blobstore end there is no log on the post request at all. The server side stuff works when i post using a form (albeit with mime data). I have allowed my android app to use internet. This is a stab in the dark but if any of you folks might have had an issue like this before perhaps the problem i am having might ring a bell

If I want to upload a text file containing some game stats to a web server for testing purpose, which approach is the best? Do I write a service along with my application and then upload the log file once it reaches a specific size? Or do I embed the logic into my application and then do it during idle times?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to explore for my project use of web services on Android. I know that there is no official library for XML - RPC web service.
But there is for REST XML and i need to test it.
I would like to read XML on my web page (Where i have to pass username and Password) from Android with HTTP GET. OR Suppose, i follow This link, then where do i pass username and password?
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.
CODE:.................
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.
