Uploading File Via Form Into Gae From Android

I have an app on GAE at: http://1.myawesomecity.appspot.com/ FIXED: HttpPost post = new HttpPost('http://1.myawesomecity.appspot.com/'); http_client

Solution 1:

Uploading file to a blobstore on GAE is a two step process:

1. first you need to get a proper URL where to POST your data, usually people use something like "/bloburl" handler for that purpose

2. when you have blob upload URL, you use it in your request.

3. the file you send does not go as NameValuePair, it's supposed to go as a MultiPartEntity.

here's the code that works (you'll need apache http library for MultiPartEntry support):

DefaultHttpClienthttp_client=newDefaultHttpClient();
HttpGethttp_get=newHttpGet(Config.BASE_URL + "bloburl");
HttpResponseresponse= http_client.execute(http_get);
BufferedReaderreader=newBufferedReader(newInputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
Stringfirst_line= reader.readLine();
Log.w(TAG, "blob_url: " + first_line);

HttpPostpost=newHttpPost(first_line);
http_client.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
MultipartEntityentity=newMultipartEntity( HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE );

mime_type = "application/zip";
Filefile=newFile( context.getFilesDir(), filename );
entity.addPart( "file", newFileBody( file, mime_type));
post.setEntity( entity );

Stringresult= EntityUtils.toString( http_client.execute(post).getEntity(), "UTF-8");
Log.i(TAG, result);
