Fastest Way to Upload Multiple Image to Server in android

Question

I've multiple images to upload in server and i've a method for upload single image to server. now I'm using this method to send multiple images by creating loop for each images.

Is there any fastest way to send multiple images to server?. Thanks in advance...

public int imageUpload(GroupInfoDO infoDO) {
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        int groupId = 0;
        try {
            Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(infoDO.getDpUrl());
            String fileName = infoDO.getDpUrl().substring(
                    infoDO.getDpUrl().lastIndexOf('/') + 1,
                    infoDO.getDpUrl().length());
            ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            bm.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 75, bos);
            byte[] data = bos.toByteArray();
            HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost(
                    "http://192.168.1.24:8081/REST/groupreg/upload");
            ByteArrayBody bab = new ByteArrayBody(data,
                    "application/octet-stream");
            MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(
                    HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
            reqEntity.addPart("uploadFile", bab);
            reqEntity.addPart("name", new StringBody(fileName));
            reqEntity.addPart("grpId", new StringBody(infoDO.getGlobalAppId()
                    + ""));
            postRequest.setEntity(reqEntity);
            HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(postRequest);
            if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
                HttpEntity httpEntity = response.getEntity();
                String json = EntityUtils.toString(httpEntity);
                Map<String, Object> mapObject = mapper.readValue(json,
                        new TypeReference<Map<String, Object>>() {
                        });
                if ((mapObject != null)
                        && (mapObject.get("status").toString()
                                .equalsIgnoreCase("SUCCESS"))) {
                    groupId = (Integer.valueOf(mapObject.get("groupId")
                            .toString()));
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
            Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection " + e1.toString());
        }
        return groupId;
    }

It depends also from your server by the way.. In this way how much time spends to do the upload? Is it working right now? — Atlas91, Aug 31 '15 at 12:41
Thank you for your reply. It takes min 10 sec for single images to get response from server. — chellapandi k, Aug 31 '15 at 12:44

There are many methods to upload more images to the server.. one could be including two libraries: apache-mime4j-0.6.jar and httpmime-4.0.1.jar.. After that create your java main code:

             Log.e("Debug", "error: " + ex.getMessage(), ex);

Now your layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
<TextView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Multiple File Upload from CoderzHeaven"
    />
<Button
    android:id="@+id/Button01"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Get First File">
</Button>
<Button
    android:id="@+id/Button02"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Get Second File">
</Button>
<Button
    android:id="@+id/upload"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Start Upload">
</Button>
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/tv"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Selected File path : "
    />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/res"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:text=""
   />
</LinearLayout>

of course, include the internet permission in your manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

And voilà. Anyway i followed this example in my case: http://www.coderzheaven.com/2011/08/16/how-to-upload-multiple-files-in-one-request-along-with-other-string-parameters-in-android/ try to see there.. There are 4 methods to upload multiple files. See which you like

I like HttpEntity too, however, it's deprecated now. – BNK Aug 31 '15 at 13:16 — BNK, Aug 31 '15 at 13:16
how I can add those library?? please help – Md. Ashikur Rahman Jul 20 '18 at 19:05 — Md. Ashikur Rahman, Jul 20 '18 at 19:05

Using Volley
