Post multipart request with Android SDK

Based on this blog I came up with the following solution:http://blog.tacticalnuclearstrike.com/2010/01/using-multipartentity-in-android-applications/

You will have to download additional libraries to get MultipartEntity running!

1) Download httpcomponents-client-4.1.zip from http://james.apache.org/download.cgi#Apache_Mime4Jand add apache-mime4j-0.6.1.jar to your project.

2) Download httpcomponents-client-4.1-bin.zip from http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi and add httpclient-4.1.jar, httpcore-4.1.jar and httpmime-4.1.jar to your project.

3) Use the example code below.

    private DefaultHttpClient mHttpClient;


    public ServerCommunication() {
        HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
        params.setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);
        mHttpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(params);
    }


    public void uploadUserPhoto(File image) {

        try {

            HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("some url");

            MultipartEntity multipartEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);  
            multipartEntity.addPart("Title", new StringBody("Title"));
            multipartEntity.addPart("Nick", new StringBody("Nick"));
            multipartEntity.addPart("Email", new StringBody("Email"));
            multipartEntity.addPart("Description", new StringBody(Settings.SHARE.TEXT));
            multipartEntity.addPart("Image", new FileBody(image));
            httppost.setEntity(multipartEntity);

            mHttpClient.execute(httppost, new PhotoUploadResponseHandler());

        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e(ServerCommunication.class.getName(), e.getLocalizedMessage(), e);
        }
    }

    private class PhotoUploadResponseHandler implements ResponseHandler {

        @Override
        public Object handleResponse(HttpResponse response)
                throws ClientProtocolException, IOException {

            HttpEntity r_entity = response.getEntity();
            String responseString = EntityUtils.toString(r_entity);
            Log.d("UPLOAD", responseString);

            return null;
        }

    }
