Sending Video using HTTP Post Multipart entity

Question

What I want I want to send a video from my SDcard to a server. I also want to send some parameters/value with it.

I have tried I have tried the following code:

public String SendToServer(String aUrl,File aFile)
    {
        HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(aUrl);

        try 
        {
            MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
            entity.addPart("file", new FileBody(aFile));
            entity.addPart("video[title]", new StringBody("testVideo"));
            entity.addPart("video[type]", new StringBody("1"));
            httpPost.setEntity(entity);

            HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
            // Bind custom cookie store to the local context
            localContext.setAttribute(ClientContext.COOKIE_STORE, Globals.sessionCookie);

            HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);
            HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();  
            String Response = "";
            if (response != null) 
            {    
                Response = EntityUtils.toString(resEntity); 
            }
            return Response;
        } 
        catch (IOException e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return "Exception";
    }

What is the problem When I run this code, I get stuck at this line

HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);

I get no exception, no response nothing at all. Can anyone please guide me, what is the problem in here?

Answer 1

The above code in my question was perfect, but I had the network problem. My device was connected to a hotspot(Connectify Software). When I connected to the original network, this code worked perfect.

I recommend you people to never trust a hotspot for this kind of functionality.

try using this way if want to send as content or esle I will upload the project by tonight

        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);
        InputStreamEntity reqEntity = new InputStreamEntity(new FileInputStream(filePath), -1);
        reqEntity.setContentType("binary/octet-stream");
        reqEntity.setChunked(true); // Send in multiple parts if needed
        httppost.setEntity(reqEntity);
        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
