Android upload file to server with using FileEntity and no using MultipartEntity

Question

Hi i need send file to server i use this code

public void PostFile() {

        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        httpclient.getParams().setBooleanParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.USE_EXPECT_CONTINUE, false);
        // httpclient.
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://fastcalc.orionsource.ru/test.php");


        File file = cache.getFileFromCache("citys.json");

        FileEntity reqEntity = new FileEntity(file,"text/plain");
        reqEntity.setContentType("text/plain");
        httppost.setEntity(reqEntity);



        System.out.println("executing request " + httppost.getRequestLine());

        HttpResponse response;
        try {
            response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
            HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();

            System.out.println(response.getStatusLine());
            if (resEntity != null) {
                System.out.println(EntityUtils.toString(resEntity));
            }
            if (resEntity != null) {
                resEntity.consumeContent();
            }

        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
    }

On server side code below

<?php
print 'Files:';
print_r($_FILES);
print '<br><br>';
print "Response:\n";
print_r($_REQUEST);
print '<br><br>';

?>

And on Android i get response

05-29 17:26:29.232: I/System.out(26823): executing request POST http://fastcalc.orionsource.ru/test.php HTTP/1.1
05-29 17:26:29.732: I/System.out(26823): HTTP/1.1 200 OK

05-29 17:26:29.732: I/System.out(26823): <br><br>Response:
05-29 17:26:29.732: I/System.out(26823): Array
05-29 17:26:29.732: I/System.out(26823): (
05-29 17:26:29.732: I/System.out(26823): )
05-29 17:26:29.732: I/System.out(26823): <br><br>

I cant use MultipartEntity because it's not included in any Android versions. It thirdpart library.

Someone give please link to tutorial which use only FileEntity.

Yes its work, but i need on server side do base64_decode on PHP. I do not need this, because i want use ONE form for HTML POST and Android, HTML post use field to sending file. – Dmitry Nelepov May 29 '12 at 13:52
