Upload image and video on background without using asynch task in Android

Question

I need to upload some data like Image and Video to server using Xml web service. I am able to upload using asynch task in Android but I need to upload all data to server in background means there should not be display any progress bar.

So I think to use service for achieving the same, is using a service the right approach? How could I convert activity to service. Are there any other ways to achieve this?

I am writing below my code on button click event for asynch task:

  UploadDataInBackground uploader = new UploadDataInBackground();
  uploader.execute(ReplyForm.this, true, replyform);    // it is asynch class

Please do not roll back good edits to your posts. I have downvoted as a helpful reminder. — halfer, Dec 30 '19 at 14:45

You should continue doing this in an AsyncTask. If you do not want a progress dialog to be shown, simpl, remove or comment that part of the the code out. It should be in you onPreExecute (), and onPostExecute ().

You can do it using ResultReceiver. I have made an application where I upload large video to a server and used something like this:

public class MyResultReceiver extends ResultReceiver {

    public final String TAG = getClass().getSimpleName();
    private Receiver mReceiver;

    public TmResultReceiver(Handler handler) {
        super(handler);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    @Override
    protected void onReceiveResult(int resultCode, Bundle resultData) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Log.d("MyResultReceiver", "onReceiveResult");
        if( mReceiver != null ){
            mReceiver.onReceiveResult(resultCode, resultData);
        }
    }

    public void setReceiver(Receiver receiver) {
        //Log.d("MyResultReceiver", "setReceiver");
        mReceiver = receiver;
    }

    public interface Receiver {
        public void onReceiveResult(int resultCode, Bundle resultData);
    }   

}

Hi LAzy Ninza ... have you used service for uploading in back ground? — SRam, Aug 28 '12 at 12:24

just implement your own Service, see this post for downloading file using Services, but you must implement your own uploadService` ,, Download a file with Android, and showing the progress in a ProgressDialog
