Android Httpclient File Upload Data Corruption and Timeout Issues

Android httpclient file upload data corruption and timeout issues

See My Code of Image Uploader and it worked great for me
This class Uploads a file to the server plus in the end read the XML reply also.
Filter the code as per your requirement.. It worked pretty smooth for me

Upload video from Android to server?

Had the same issue some time ago. Here's a 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 it with

int reponse=upLoad2Server(""+filepath);

Android: Sending a byte[] array via Http POST

Java HTTP Client Request with defined timeout

import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.params.BasicHttpParams;
import org.apache.http.params.HttpConnectionParams;
import org.apache.http.params.HttpParams;

...

    // set the connection timeout value to 30 seconds (30000 milliseconds)
    final HttpParams httpParams = new BasicHttpParams();
    HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParams, 30000);
    client = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParams);

Apache HttpClient timeout

There is currently no way to set a maximum request duration of that sort: basically you want to say I don't care whether or not any specific request stage times out, but the entire request must not last longer than 15 seconds (for example).

Your best bet would be to run a separate timer, and when it expires fetch the connection manager used by the HttpClient instance and shutdown the connection, which should terminate the link. Let me know if that works for you.
