Android - Sending 2 files to a server

Question

I am trying to make an android app in which i can take or choose 2 pics from the gallery and send them to a server. The code:

private static final int SELECT_PICTURE = 1;
private String selectedImagePath;
private int TAKE_PHOTO_CODE = 0;
private Uri outputFileUri;

public void getit() {
    Intent intentpic= new Intent();
    intentpic.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    intentpic.setType("image/*");
    startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intentpic, "Select Picture"), SELECT_PICTURE);
}

public void takepic() {
    final String dir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) + "/IDandCCD/"; 
    File newdir = new File(dir); 
    newdir.mkdirs();  

    String file="";
    if(but.equals(3)) {
        file = dir+"ID"+".jpg";
    }
    else if(but.equals(4)) {
        file = dir+"CCD"+".jpg";
    }
    File newfile = new File(file);
    try {
        newfile.createNewFile();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }       

    outputFileUri = Uri.fromFile(newfile);

    Intent cameraIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); 
    cameraIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, outputFileUri);

    startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, TAKE_PHOTO_CODE);
}
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        if (requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) {
            Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();              
            selectedImagePath = getPath(selectedImageUri);

            //selectedImagePath = selectedImageUri.getPath()+".jpg";

            if(but.equals(1)) {
                id.setText(selectedImagePath);
            }
            else if(but.equals(2)) {
                ccd.setText(selectedImagePath);
            }
        }
        else if(requestCode == TAKE_PHOTO_CODE) {
            String fname = outputFileUri.getPath();
            if(but.equals(3)) {
                id.setText(fname);
            }
            else if(but.equals(4)) {
                ccd.setText(fname);
            }
        }
    }
}

@SuppressWarnings(value = { "deprecation" }) 
public String getPath(Uri uri) {
    String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
    Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
    if(cursor!=null)
    {
        int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        return cursor.getString(column_index);
    }
    else return null;
}
private class MyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
    ProgressDialog pro1;

    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        pro1.dismiss();
        }

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        pro1 = ProgressDialog.show(ThirdStep.this, "Loading", "Please wait");
        }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
        String hdfgs="tgabvds";
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(params[0]);
        String responseStr=null;
        try {
          MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity();
          FileBody pic1=new FileBody(new File(id.getText().toString()));
          FileBody pic2=new FileBody(new File(ccd.getText().toString()));
          entity.addPart("idpic", pic1);
          entity.addPart("ccdpic", pic2);              
          httppost.setEntity(entity);
          HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
          HttpEntity resEntity=response.getEntity();
          responseStr=resEntity.toString();
        } catch (Exception e)   {
            Log.e("Debug", "error: " + e.getMessage(), e);
        }
        return responseStr;
        }
    }

But i ran into a problem:

08-20 12:45:20.409: D/dalvikvm(2235): DexOpt: couldn't find static field Lorg/apache/http/message/BasicHeaderValueParser;.INSTANCE

08-20 12:45:22.618: D/dalvikvm(2235): GREF has increased to 201

At first i thought it was because of the imported jar's for MultipartEntity, but i put them in libs folder of the project, and they appear in Android Private Libraries. After i added them i refreshed and cleaned the project. I am doing this in Eclipse, and when i start the app in the emulator, I can take a pic, i can choose a pic from the phone, but when i try to upload it I get the error. If anyone has a suggestion, i would appreciate it.

PS I didn't overlook it, it's just that I am not doing anything with the result, yet.

Answer 1

I could not get this to work, so instead I used Base64 encoding and BasicNameValuePair and managed to upload it that way. Regardless, if someone has an idea about what was wrong with the code in the question, and how to fix it I would like to know.

Works fine now, code follows:

private void filesToSend() {
    File f1=new File(id.getText().toString());
    File f2=new File(ccd.getText().toString());
    if (f1.exists()&&f2.exists()) {
        Bitmap bip1=BitmapFactory.decodeFile(f1.getAbsolutePath());
        Bitmap bip2=BitmapFactory.decodeFile(f2.getAbsolutePath());
        ByteArrayOutputStream stream1=new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        ByteArrayOutputStream stream2=new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bip1.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, stream1); //compress to which format you want.
        bip2.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, stream2);
        byte [] byte_arr1=stream1.toByteArray();
        byte [] byte_arr2=stream2.toByteArray();
        image_str1=Base64.encodeToString(byte_arr1, Base64.DEFAULT);
        image_str2=Base64.encodeToString(byte_arr2, Base64.DEFAULT);
        RSet=true;
    }

The next part is in my AsyncTask:

protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
        String result=null;
        String response=null;
        ArrayList<NameValuePair> postparams=new  ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
        postparams.add(new BasicNameValuePair("idpic", params[0]));
        postparams.add(new BasicNameValuePair("ccdpic", params[1]));
        try {
            response=CustomHttpClient.executeHttpPost(params[2], postparams);
            result=response.toString();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
        }
        return result;
        }

And then on button click:

filesToSend();
            String url="http://10.0.2.2/Android/tstep.php";
            if(RSet.equals(true)) {
                new MyAsyncTask().execute(image_str1, image_str2, url);
            }
            else if(RSet.equals(false)) {
                tostVLong("The images are not set, please choose or take a picture before sending.");
            }   

PS I am using a custom http client I got from one of the answers on this site, just can't remember which one... Also tostVLong is a toast with show time extended.
