As answered by @Ashwin Valento here you need to do this.

ArrayList<Part> fileParts = new ArrayList<>();

for (int i = 0; i < salonPhotos.size(); i++) {
    Part part = new FilePart("image_name[" + i + "]",image_value[i]);
    fileParts.add(part);
}


Ion.with(getContext())
.load("POST", MY_POST_URL)
.setMultipartParameter("my_text_key", "my_text_value")
.setMultipartParameter("my_text_key_2", "my_text_value_2")
.addMultipartParts(fileParts);

Here the image is being sent as a part of multipart form data to the server. Or you could send the image in base64 format like here. It's pretty straight forward.

Is "salonPhotos" meant the name of the imageview? – Jibin Nov 29 '18 at 10:47 — Jibin, Nov 29 '18 at 10:47
its the arraylist of image files. – Pemba Tamang Dec 01 '18 at 04:12 — Pemba Tamang, Dec 01 '18 at 04:12

My original answer is here which explains how you can upload multiple images.

If your requirement is to upload a single image, then you can do as

Ion.with(getContext())
.load("POST", MY_POST_URL)
.setMultipartFile("image", "image/png", new File("/sdcard/some_image.png"))
