convert video files to byte array in android

Question

In my android application i am recording and saving the file in sdcard. Now i would like to convert this saved file to byte array and sent it to the server.

Could anyone please let me know as how can i convert video files to byte array

Please forward your valuable suggestions.

Thanks in advance :)

Not knowing Android at all other than as a user, but a recorded video file is just a file... why the byte array? — Marc B, Feb 12 '11 at 19:57

try this:

String strFile=null;
File file=new File(pathOnSdCard);
try {
byte[] data = FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(file);//Convert any file, image or video into byte array
strFile = Base64.encodeToString(data, Base64.NO_WRAP);//Convert byte array into string
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return strFile;
}
