I have searched all over for a good code for uploading an mp3 or similar file to a php server and have tested over 10 samples but none has been successful so far. Most codes I have checked out are either full of bugs or use outdated libraries.
I would appreciate if anyone has a truly working code sample. Possibly one that uses volley or a similar library. Would appreciate any help or some code that points me in the right direction.
Thanks
You can use loopj Android Asynchronous Http Client lib for uploading file to the php server. download the lib file from given link and put into your project's libs folder and use this code for uploading file.
public void postFile(){
RequestParams params = new RequestParams();
params.put("fileTitle","MyFile1");
params.put("file", new File("File Path Here")); // e.g Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/test.mp3"
AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
client.post("http://www.yourweserviceurlhere.com", params, new AsyncHttpResponseHandler() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] responseBody) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onFailure(int statusCode, Header[] headers,
byte[] responseBody, Throwable error) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
}
if you want progress of uploading. then you can use my custom design class. for this also require common io 2.4 lib reference in converting HTTPresponse into string.
public class AsyncLoader {
private String url;
private LoaderCallBackHandler mCallback;
private Context mContext;
private RequestParams params;
private RequestHandle handle;

public void uploadComplete(String response);
public void failedWithError(Throwable error);
public void progressUpdate(long bytesWritten, long bytesTotal);
public void onCancle();
public void onFinish();
}
public AsyncLoader(Context mContext,String url,RequestParams params, LoaderCallBackHandler callback) {
this.mContext = mContext;
this.url = url;
this.params = params;
this.mCallback = callback;
}
public void startTransfer() {
AsynchConfig.mClient.setTimeout(50000);
handle = AsynchConfig.mClient.post(mContext, url, params,handlerInterface);
}

if(mCallback != null) {
mCallback.onStartUploading();
}
}

InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
// TODO convert in stream to JSONObject and do whatever you need to
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
IOUtils.copy(instream, writer, Charset.defaultCharset());
String theString = writer.toString();
if(mCallback != null) {
mCallback.uploadComplete(theString);
}
}
}
@Override

PHP service for handling uploaded file
if(isset($_FILES['file']) && isset($_POST['fileTitle']) ) {
include './config.php';
//Randomly genrate file name
$stickerTmp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$file = md5(date("l, F d, Y h:i" ,time()) . (microtime())).".".end($stickerTmp);
//geting the temp location of file
$filetemploc=$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
//path for uploading to the specific location
$pathandname="file_store/".$file;
// moving the file to specified path
$resultUpload = move_uploaded_file($filetemploc, $pathandname);
// if file is successfully moved to over specified path then insert the reference into the DB
if($resultUpload == TRUE) {
//echo "File has been moved from : ". $filetemploc . " to :".$pathandname;
$qInsert = "INSERT INTO file_lists values (null,'".$_POST['fileTitle']."','".$file."') ";
mysql_query($qInsert);
