This is My code for Upload image to server i am able to send parameter to server in name value pair [member_id=380, imageFile=bytestream,picturepathe="380.jpg"] . while i have to Post parameter like this {[imageFile:"bystram",member_id:"380",picture_path:"380.jpg"]}

please help how i will make Name value pair in Json format

Answer 1

you can post json object like the following

 class myclass extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>

{

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
                R.drawable.ic_launcher);
        ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, stream); // compress
                                                                // to
        // which format
        // you want.
        byte[] byte_arr = stream.toByteArray();
        String image_str = Base64.encodeToString(byte_arr, Base64.DEFAULT);

        try {
            String finalnamevalue;
            HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(
                    "http://api.lociiapp.com/api/registration/SaveProfilePicture");
            JSONObject contactsObj = new JSONObject();
                contactsObj.put("member_id", "380");
                contactsObj.put("imageFile", image_str);
                contactsObj.put("picture_path", "380.jpg");
             StringEntity stringEntity = new StringEntity( contactsObj.toString());  
                stringEntity.setContentType("application/json;charset=UTF-8");
                stringEntity.setContentEncoding(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE,
                "application/json;charset=UTF-8"));
            httppost.setEntity(stringEntity);
            HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
            String the_string_response = convertResponseToString(response);

        } catch (Exception e) {

            System.out.println("Error in http connection " + e.toString());
        }

        return null;
    }

change the post header and content types.

You can post data in json like this way:-

String json = "";
            JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
            try {
                jsonObject.put("id", "");
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            try {
                jsonObject.put("MSISDN", number);
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

httpPost.setEntity(se);
            httpPost.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
            httpPost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

            HttpResponse httpResponse = null;
