Do you know if it's possible at all, and if possible - what's the HTTP API or Java API to upload a new avatar?

You shouldn't need an API on GitHub side: as I mentioned here, all you need is for your GitHub account email to match the one used for your Gravatar.

That leaves you with a Gravatar API call, like an xmlrpc: see an example here.

It uses specifically:

grav.saveData - Save binary image data as a userimage for this account 
    @param  (string)$args['data'] a base64_encode()d image
    @param  (int)$args['rating'] 0:g, 1:pg, 2:r, 3:x
    @param  (string)$args['password'] for authentication 
    @return (bool)false on failure, (string)userimage on success

Thanks, it answered my question

I am personally developing an Android application that uses GitHub SDK and wanted the device to take a picture to replace the avatar, I noticed gravatar API has a Java implentation, I might take that approach, I am a bit afraid because gravatar requires the user password as a raw string (text)
