I am working on encoding the selected image from the gallery and want to send it to the server. I succeeded to send name and description of the product which is text form. but, I don't know how to encode image and send it to string form. On the server side, I need to decode it with php. My code is...
public class AddEditWishlists extends Activity {
// Client-Server - Start //////////////////////
JSONParser jsonParser = new JSONParser();
// url to create new product
private static String url_create_product = "http://10.56.43.91/android_connect/create_product.php";
// JSON Node names
private static final String TAG_SUCCESS = "success";
InputStream is;

inputname.setText(extras.getString("name"));
inputnote.setText(extras.getString("note"));
image = extras.getByteArray("blob");
String encodedImage = Base64.encodeToString(image , Base64.DEFAULT);
if (image != null) {
if (image.length > 3) {
inputphoto.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(image,0,image.length));
}
}
}
//Image Upload Button
upload = (Button) findViewById(R.id.upload);
upload.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override

what I am working on is the part here
if (extras != null) {
id=extras.getInt("id");
inputname.setText(extras.getString("name"));
inputnote.setText(extras.getString("note"));
image = extras.getByteArray("blob");
//Here..I encoded the image ***********Is it correct?**********
String encodedImage = Base64.encodeToString(image , Base64.DEFAULT);
if (image != null) {
if (image.length > 3) {
inputphoto.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(image,0,image.length));
}
}
}
and...
// Client-Server - Start //////////////////////////////////////
String name = inputname.getText().toString();
String description = inputnote.getText().toString();
// this line should be modified i guess....
String encodedImage = yourSelectedImage.toString();
// Building Parameters
List<NameValuePair> params1 = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
params1.add(new BasicNameValuePair("name", name));
params1.add(new BasicNameValuePair("description", description));
// This line should be modified i guess..
params1.add(new BasicNameValuePair("photo", encodedImage));
Log.v("log_tag", System.currentTimeMillis()+".jpg");
// getting JSON Object
// Note that create product url accepts POST method
JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(url_create_product, "POST", params1);
// check log cat fro response
Log.d("Create Response", json.toString());
I wrote annotation where should be corrected.... I think that part makes error..
and one more question is that on the server side, how format should it be to receive the encoded photo? Varchar? char?..
Thank you in advance.
String encodedSelectedImage = Base64.encodeToString(yourSelectedImage, Base64.DEFAULT); .... params1.add(new BasicNameValuePair("photo", encodedSelectedImage));– Figment
