How to upload all files of a folder to web server in Android?

Question

I want to upload all files of a folder to my PHP page.

That is, If I have several images inside a folder, and I want to upload (HTTP POST) all pictures in the folder to my PHP page, which then gets saved in my web directory by their respective file names.

How can I do that? I know about AsyncTask, but I am beginner in Android programming. I don't know how to make array or list or loops.

AsyncTask is way too older, I am not saying we should not implement but has to take care of a lot of things if implemented!

Rather go with implementing RxJava based implementation but again since you are new to the android programming, so I would not suggest!

Since you are new to the android programming so we can say it's a long problem to solve. I would suggest you go steps wise steps. Let me give you pointers you would be searching, exploring and building around:

Find the directory in folders and iterate through each files to prepare a list
Two popular ways of uploading images: 1) Convert into Base64 and upload one by one 2) Multipart image upload
Instead of AsyncTask, you may use Retrofit Multipart image upload

Ready made code? That's not possible, did you check on Google? Lot of examples are available. Since you are a newbie in Android so I thought to saw you a direction. – Paresh Mayani Aug 14 '19 at 02:10
