try this:

String strFile=null;
File file=new File(pathOnSdCard);
try {
byte[] data = FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(file);//Convert any file, image or video into byte array
strFile = Base64.encodeToString(data, Base64.NO_WRAP);//Convert byte array into string
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return strFile;
}
