This works like charm for me:
public int uploadFile(String sourceFileUri) {
String fileName=sourceFileUri;
HttpURLConnection conn = null;
DataOutputStream dos = null;
String lineEnd = "\r\n";
String twoHyphens = "--";
String boundary = "------hellojosh";
int bytesRead, bytesAvailable, bufferSize;
byte[] buffer;
int maxBufferSize = 1 * 1024 * 1024;
File sourceFile = new File(fileName);
Log.e("joshtag", "Uploading: sourcefileURI, "+fileName);
if (!sourceFile.isFile()) {
Log.e("uploadFile", "Source File not exist :"+appSingleton.getInstance().photouri);//FullPath);
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
//messageText.setText("Source File not exist :"
}
});
return 0; //RETURN #1
}
else{
try{
FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(sourceFile);
URL url = new URL(upLoadServerUri);
Log.v("joshtag",url.toString());
// Open a HTTP connection to the URL
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true); // Allow Inputs
conn.setDoOutput(true); // Allow Outputs
conn.setUseCaches(false); // Don't use a Cached Copy s
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
conn.setRequestProperty("ENCTYPE", "multipart/form-data");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data;boundary=" + boundary);
conn.setRequestProperty("file", fileName);
conn.setRequestProperty("user", user_id));
dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
//ADD Some -F Form parameters, helping method
//... is declared down below
addFormField(dos, "someParameter", "someValue");
dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\";filename=\"" + fileName + "\"" + lineEnd);
dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
// create a buffer of maximum size

bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);

// read file and write it into form...
bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
while (bytesRead > 0) {
dos.write(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available();

}

}
catch (IOException ioex) {

}
//close the streams //
fileInputStream.close();
dos.flush();
dos.close();

dialog.dismiss();

UPDATE: If you need to send parameters along with the file,
use:
conn.setRequestProperty("someParameter","someValue")
//or
addFormField(DataOutputStream dos, String parameter, String value)
...as shown in the code above. One or the other should work, if the server you are trying to connect to is not completely known to you.
