Status code 500 during upload multipart entity image to server in android code
Html form: (can add successfully image to server)
<form method="post" action="http://xyz/upload_picture" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Sample Picture Upload Form Submit
<br/><br/>
API key: <input type="text" name="key" value="abc"><br/><br/>
Login: <input type="text" name="login" value="text"><br/>
Password: <input type="password" name="password" value="text"><br/><br/>
Property ID:<input type="text" name="property_id" value="111"><br/>
Picture File:<input type="file" name="picture"><br/><br/>
<br/><br/>
<input type="submit" name="" value="Upload Picture"><br/>
</form>
Android code : (gives status code 500)
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

If like me you were struggling with multipart upload. Here's a solution using 95% of code from this Android snippet.
public String multipartRequest(String urlTo, Map<String, String> parmas, String filepath, String filefield, String fileMimeType) throws CustomException {
HttpURLConnection connection = null;
DataOutputStream outputStream = null;
InputStream inputStream = null;
String twoHyphens = "--";
String boundary = "*****" + Long.toString(System.currentTimeMillis()) + "*****";
String lineEnd = "\r\n";
String result = "";
int bytesRead, bytesAvailable, bufferSize;
byte[] buffer;
int maxBufferSize = 1 * 1024 * 1024;
String[] q = filepath.split("/");
int idx = q.length - 1;
try {
File file = new File(filepath);
FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
URL url = new URL(urlTo);
connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setUseCaches(false);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
connection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Android Multipart HTTP Client 1.0");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary);
outputStream = new DataOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream());
outputStream.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
outputStream.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"" + filefield + "\"; filename=\"" + q[idx] + "\"" + lineEnd);
outputStream.writeBytes("Content-Type: " + fileMimeType + lineEnd);
outputStream.writeBytes("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary" + lineEnd);
outputStream.writeBytes(lineEnd);
bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available();
bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
while (bytesRead > 0) {
outputStream.write(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available();
bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
}
outputStream.writeBytes(lineEnd);
// Upload POST Data
Iterator<String> keys = parmas.keySet().iterator();
while (keys.hasNext()) {
String key = keys.next();
String value = parmas.get(key);
outputStream.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
outputStream.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"" + key + "\"" + lineEnd);
outputStream.writeBytes("Content-Type: text/plain" + lineEnd);
outputStream.writeBytes(lineEnd);
outputStream.writeBytes(value);
outputStream.writeBytes(lineEnd);
}
outputStream.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + twoHyphens + lineEnd);
if (200 != connection.getResponseCode()) {
throw new CustomException("Failed to upload code:" + connection.getResponseCode() + " " + connection.getResponseMessage());
}
inputStream = connection.getInputStream();
result = this.convertStreamToString(inputStream);
fileInputStream.close();
inputStream.close();
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
return result;
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error(e);
throw new CustomException(e);
}
}
private String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
try {
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
Calling code:
//setup params
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>(2);
params.put("foo", hash);
params.put("bar", caption);
String result = multipartRequest(URL_UPLOAD_VIDEO, params, pathToVideoFile, "video", "video/mp4");
//next parse result string
