Upload video from Android to server?

Question

Does anyone offer a sample for uploading video from an SD card to a remote server?

Answer 1

Had the same question a while ago. Here is the code.

public static int upLoad2Server(String sourceFileUri) { String upLoadServerUri = "your remote server link"; // String [] string = sourceFileUri; String fileName = sourceFileUri; HttpURLConnection conn = null; DataOutputStream dos = null; DataInputStream inStream = null; String lineEnd = "\r\n"; String twoHyphens = "--"; String boundary = "*****"; int bytesRead, bytesAvailable, bufferSize; byte[] buffer; int maxBufferSize = 1 * 1024 * 1024; String responseFromServer = ""; File sourceFile = new File(sourceFileUri); if (!sourceFile.isFile()) { Log.e("Huzza", "Source File Does not exist"); return 0; } try { // open a URL connection to the Servlet FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(sourceFile); URL url = new URL(upLoadServerUri); conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); // Open a HTTP connection to the URL conn.setDoInput(true); // Allow Inputs conn.setDoOutput(true); // Allow Outputs conn.setUseCaches(false); // Don't use a Cached Copy conn.setRequestMethod("POST"); conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive"); conn.setRequestProperty("ENCTYPE", "multipart/form-data"); conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data;boundary=" + boundary); conn.setRequestProperty("uploaded_file", fileName); dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream()); dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd); dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"uploaded_file\";filename=\""+ fileName + "\"" + lineEnd); dos.writeBytes(lineEnd); bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available(); // create a buffer of maximum size Log.i("Huzza", "Initial .available : " + bytesAvailable); bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize); buffer = new byte[bufferSize]; // read file and write it into form... bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize); while (bytesRead > 0) { dos.write(buffer, 0, bufferSize); bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available(); bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize); bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize); } // send multipart form data necesssary after file data... dos.writeBytes(lineEnd); dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + twoHyphens + lineEnd); // Responses from the server (code and message) serverResponseCode = conn.getResponseCode(); String serverResponseMessage = conn.getResponseMessage(); Log.i("Upload file to server", "HTTP Response is : " + serverResponseMessage + ": " + serverResponseCode); // close streams Log.i("Upload file to server", fileName + " File is written"); fileInputStream.close(); dos.flush(); dos.close(); } catch (MalformedURLException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); Log.e("Upload file to server", "error: " + ex.getMessage(), ex); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } //this block will give the response of upload link try { BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn .getInputStream())); String line; while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) { Log.i("Huzza", "RES Message: " + line); } rd.close(); } catch (IOException ioex) { Log.e("Huzza", "error: " + ioex.getMessage(), ioex); } return serverResponseCode; // like 200 (Ok) } // end upLoad2Server 

2) call him

 int reponse=upLoad2Server(""+filepath);

Two-step solution:

1) Select a video file from the gallery.

Create a global int private static final int SELECT_VIDEO = 3; - it doesn't matter what number you use, unless you check it later. Then use the intent to select the video.

 Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setType("video/*"); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent,"Select a Video "), SELECT_VIDEO); 

Use onActivityResult () to run the uploadVideo () method.

 public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) { if (requestCode == SELECT_VIDEO) { System.out.println("SELECT_VIDEO"); Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData(); selectedPath = getPath(selectedImageUri); System.out.println("SELECT_VIDEO Path : " + selectedPath); uploadVideo(selectedPath); } 

2) Go to http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi , download the latest HttpClient jar, add it to your project and upload the video using the following method

 private void uploadVideo(String videoPath) throws ParseException, IOException { HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(YOUR_URL); FileBody filebodyVideo = new FileBody(new File(videoPath)); StringBody title = new StringBody("Filename: " + videoPath); StringBody description = new StringBody("This is a video of the agent"); StringBody code = new StringBody(realtorCodeStr); MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(); reqEntity.addPart("videoFile", filebodyVideo); reqEntity.addPart("title", title); reqEntity.addPart("description", description); reqEntity.addPart("code", code); httppost.setEntity(reqEntity); // DEBUG System.out.println( "executing request " + httppost.getRequestLine( ) ); HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute( httppost ); HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity( ); // DEBUG System.out.println( response.getStatusLine( ) ); if (resEntity != null) { System.out.println( EntityUtils.toString( resEntity ) ); } // end if if (resEntity != null) { resEntity.consumeContent( ); } // end if httpclient.getConnectionManager( ).shutdown( ); } // end of uploadVideo( ) 

As soon as you earn it, you probably want to put it in a stream and add a download dialog, but this will help you get started. I work for me after I unsuccessfully try the upload2Server () method. This will also work for images and audio with some minor tweaking.

These are global variables that need to be defined first:

 private String mString; private Uri image_uri; private String response; private HttpURLConnection conn = null; private DataOutputStream dos = null; private String lineEnd = "\r\n"; private String twoHyphens = "--"; private String boundary = "*****"; private int bytesRead, bytesAvailable, bufferSize; private byte[] buffer; private String url_for_image_upload = "your_web_api_put_here"; private int maxBufferSize = 1 * 1024 * 1024; 

// then call these two methods on the onclick () method button

 mString = getRealPathFromURI(image_uri); ImageUpload(); 

// and write these methods as follows

 private void ImageUpload() { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Please Wait while uploading Image", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); try { FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(new File(mString)); URL url = new URL(url_for_image_upload); conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); conn.setDoInput(true); conn.setDoOutput(true); conn.setUseCaches(false); conn.setRequestMethod("POST"); conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive"); conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data;boundary=" + boundary); dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream()); dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd); dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"img_name\";filename=\"img_name" + "\"" + lineEnd); dos.writeBytes(lineEnd); bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available(); bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize); buffer = new byte[bufferSize]; bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize); while (bytesRead > 0) { dos.write(buffer, 0, bufferSize); bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available(); bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize); bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize); } dos.writeBytes(lineEnd); dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + twoHyphens + lineEnd); BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader( conn.getInputStream())); Log.d("BuffrerReader", "" + in); if (in != null) { response = convertStreamToString(in); Log.e("FINAL_RESPONSE-LENGTH",""+response.length()); Log.e("FINAL_RESPONSE", response); } fileInputStream.close(); dos.flush(); dos.close(); if (response.startsWith("0")) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Image Uploaded not successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT) .show(); } else { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Image Uploaded successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT) .show(); } } catch (MalformedURLException ex) { Log.e("Image upload", "error: " + ex.getMessage(), ex); } catch (IOException ioe) { Log.e("Image upload", "error: " + ioe.getMessage(), ioe); } } public String getRealPathFromURI(Uri contentUri) { String[] proj = { MediaColumns.DATA }; @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") Cursor cursor = managedQuery(contentUri, proj, null, null, null); int column_index = cursor .getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaColumns.DATA); cursor.moveToFirst(); mString = cursor.getString(column_index); return mString; } public static String convertStreamToString(BufferedReader is) throws IOException { if (is != null) { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); String line; try { while ((line = is.readLine()) != null) { sb.append(line).append(""); } } finally { is.close(); } return sb.toString(); } else { return ""; } }
