How to upload .doc,.dox and .pdf file to server from android device using volley

Question

I am working on job portal app in which i want to upload the resume in all formats like .doc,.docx and .pdf. Currrently only one file format is supported at a time. Below is what i have done:

Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setType("application/pdf,application/msword");
            intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
            intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
            startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_DOC);

Please help me how to do this.Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Try this link. Basically what you have to do is read the file convert to bytes and then override getBody method in the volley request.

  public void upload(){
                    Intent intent = new Intent();
                    intent.setType("application/pdf,application/msword");
                    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
                    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
                    startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_DOC);

                    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) 
                          {
                                File file=new File(getPath(Payment_upload.this,uri));
                                String path=getPath(context,uri);
                                upload_file=getStringFile(file);
                           }


                VolleyMultipartRequest multipartRequest = new VolleyMultipartRequest(Request.Method.POST, u, new Response.Listener<NetworkResponse>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
                        String resultResponse = new String(response.data);

                    }
                }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                        NetworkResponse networkResponse = error.networkResponse;
                        String errorMessage = "Unknown error";
                        if (networkResponse == null) {
                            if (error.getClass().equals(TimeoutError.class)) {
                                errorMessage = "Request timeout";
                            } else if (error.getClass().equals(NoConnectionError.class)) {
                                errorMessage = "Failed to connect server";
                            }
                        } else {
                            String result = new String(networkResponse.data);
                            System.out.println(result);
                        }
                        Log.i("Error", errorMessage);
                        error.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }) {


                    @Override
