You could use the base64_encode-function of PHP:

http://php.net/manual/de/function.base64-encode.php

Then save the base64-code to database.

Android (which is Java) is able to decode the base64-Code.

Here is an example:

$imageData = file_get_contents('path/to/image');
$base64Image = base64_encode($imageData);

// save base64Image to database

problem in base64 is that I'm using Dropzone.js to upload file.To edit profile picture I'm not able to display the preview in dropzone. – Arun A T Oct 21 '16 at 13:01
