I wanted to upload a file from android device to a server using PHP post. Now I researched on the multipart entity uploading and fixed everything on my android device but it's still not working and I just don't know why since this is the first time I'd tried to do this for android. Now what I have is this method:
public void postFile(String file_path, String url){
File file = new File(file_path);
try {
System.out.println(file_path);
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url);
FileBody bin = new FileBody(file);
MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
reqEntity.addPart("file", bin); /*I believe that the "file" is the name in php part*/
post.setEntity(reqEntity);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();
if (resEntity != null) {
Log.i("RESPONSE", EntityUtils.toString(resEntity));
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
and I use an onclick listener to call this method with this format
postFile(record_location, "http://10.146.179.86/File%20upload/test.php");
where record location is this : /mnt/sdcard/Echo/Recordings/Awesome4.3gpp
and the PHP upload code:
<?php
$target_path = "Stored File/";
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['file']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
?>
I already tried the upload and it's working which is why I think the problem is in my android method. By the way here's the logcat:

Did I missed out something here? Also maybe someone can explain me on how does this entity.addPart() works since since I dont know what is the content body it talking about and what string should I specify.
