Well, it looks to me like the author re-invented the wheel. It's quite
easy to post an image to a server. Here's some code in one of my
applications that has been modified to be more generic. I didn't test
the modifications, but it should work. Note that I'm posting both the
file (videoFile) and a text description of it (videoName)
String response = null;
String TAG = "ERROR";
PostMethod method;
try {
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.getHttpConnectionManager().getParams().setConnectionTimeout(
5000);
method = new PostMethod(urlString);
Part[] parts = {
new FilePart("videoFile", new
ByteArrayPartSource(
"videoFile", data)),
new StringPart("videoName", filename) };
method.setRequestEntity(new
MultipartRequestEntity(parts, method
.getParams()));
client.executeMethod(method);
response = method.getResponseBodyAsString();
method.releaseConnection();
} catch (Exception ex) {
Log.v(TAG, "Exception", ex);
} finally {
method.releaseConnection();
}
return response;
