Client-Server: File transfer from Android to PC connected via socket
I'm trying to send a picture I choose from the gallery on my phone, and send that picture from the phone to my PC, when I click on the button it should take the picture's path and put it in a file, and transfer it to my PC. I've checked the code on my PC - for both sides - and it worked totally fine.
When I test it out, nothing happens!
Here is the code:
Server side:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class FileServer {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
int filesize=6022386; // filesize temporary hardcoded
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
int bytesRead;
int current = 0;
// create socket
ServerSocket servsock = new ServerSocket(1149);
while (true) {
System.out.println("Waiting...");
Socket sock = servsock.accept();
System.out.println("Accepted connection : " + sock);
// receive file
byte [] mybytearray = new byte [filesize];
InputStream is = sock.getInputStream();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("C:\\Users\\Arwa\\Documents\\WebOffice.jpg"); // destination path and name of file
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
bytesRead = is.read(mybytearray,0,mybytearray.length);
current = bytesRead;
// thanks to A. Cádiz for the bug fix
do {
bytesRead =
is.read(mybytearray, current, (mybytearray.length-current));
if(bytesRead >= 0) current += bytesRead;
} while(bytesRead > -1);
bos.write(mybytearray, 0 , current);
bos.flush();
long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println(end-start);
bos.close();
sock.close();
}
}
}
Client side (Android):

Answer
you have just to add the permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
and it will work perfect.
