Android Upload Image to Server Using PHP MySQL

August 10, 2017August 26, 2015 by Belal Khan

Hello friends, welcome to our new tutorial, in this android tutorial we will create a simple Android Upload Image to Server App using PHP and MySQL.

Follow Updated Tutorial from this Link
Android Upload Image using Android Upload Service

In this tutorial we will upload small image files from android to server. If need to upload larger files like a captured video check this tutorial

Android Upload Video to Server using PHP

If you want to see what exactly we will be creating in this Android Upload Image to Server app then you can see this video demonstration first.

Android Upload Image to Server Video Demonstration

If you liked the demonstration of Android Upload Image to Server App then go ahead to know how you can do this. Lets start creating our Android Upload Image to Server Project.

This Android Upload Image to Server is having two parts

PHP MySQL
Android Studio

Lets start with PHP MySQL for your Android Upload Image to Server app.

Android Upload Image to Server – PHP MySQL Part

I am using hostinger hosting as my web server.
So go to your hosting accounts PhpMyAdmin and create a new table.
I have created the following table

Now we need to create a php script for our database connection
Create a new file named dbConnect.php and write the following code

<?php

define('HOST','mysql.hostinger.in');

define('USER','u502452270_andro');

define('PASS','belal_123');

define('DB','u502452270_andro');

$con = mysqli_connect(HOST,USER,PASS,DB) or die('Unable to Connect');

Now we need one more php script to get and save our image sent from android device
Create a new file upload.php and write the following code

<?php

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){

$image = $_POST['image'];

require_once('dbConnect.php');

$sql = "INSERT INTO images (image) VALUES (?)";

$stmt = mysqli_prepare($con,$sql);

mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt,"s",$image);

mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);

$check = mysqli_stmt_affected_rows($stmt);

if($check == 1){

echo "Image Uploaded Successfully";

}else{

echo "Error Uploading Image";

}

mysqli_close($con);

}else{

echo "Error";

}

Now upload both the files to your hosting account
We need the address of upload.php file
In my case the address of my upload.php is -> http://simplifiedcoding.16mb.com/ImageUpload/upload.php

Android Upload Image to Server – The Android Part

Open android studio and create a new android project. (I have created ImageUploadSample)
Firstly we will create a new class to handle our Http Request
Right click on your package name and create a new java class (I created RequestHandler.java)
Write the following code

100

package net.simplifiedcoding.imageuploadsample;

import java.io.BufferedReader;

import java.io.BufferedWriter;

import java.io.InputStreamReader;

import java.io.OutputStream;

import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;

import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;

import java.net.HttpURLConnection;

import java.net.URL;

import java.net.URLEncoder;

import java.util.HashMap;

import java.util.Map;

import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;

/**

* Created by Belal on 8/19/2015.

public class RequestHandler {

public String sendGetRequest(String uri) {

try {

URL url = new URL(uri);

HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));

String result;

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

while((result = bufferedReader.readLine())!=null){

sb.append(result);

}

return sb.toString();

} catch (Exception e) {

return null;

}

public String sendPostRequest(String requestURL,

HashMap<String, String> postDataParams) {

URL url;

String response = "";

try {

url = new URL(requestURL);

HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

conn.setReadTimeout(15000);

conn.setConnectTimeout(15000);

conn.setRequestMethod("POST");

conn.setDoInput(true);

conn.setDoOutput(true);

OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();

BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(

new OutputStreamWriter(os, "UTF-8"));

writer.write(getPostDataString(postDataParams));

writer.flush();

writer.close();

os.close();

int responseCode = conn.getResponseCode();

if (responseCode == HttpsURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));

response = br.readLine();

} else {

response = "Error Registering";

}

} catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

return response;

}

private String getPostDataString(HashMap<String, String> params) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {

StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();

boolean first = true;

for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : params.entrySet()) {

if (first)

first = false;

else

result.append("&");

result.append(URLEncoder.encode(entry.getKey(), "UTF-8"));

result.append("=");

result.append(URLEncoder.encode(entry.getValue(), "UTF-8"));

}

return result.toString();

}

In activity_main.xml we have to create the following layout

For creating the above layout you can use the following xml code

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:orientation="vertical"

android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".MainActivity">

<Button

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="@string/string_choose_file"

android:id="@+id/buttonChoose" />

<ImageView

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_weight="1"

android:id="@+id/imageView" />

<Button

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="@string/string_upload_image"

android:id="@+id/buttonUpload" />

<Button

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="@string/string_view_image"

android:id="@+id/buttonViewImage" />

</LinearLayout>

Now come to MainActivity.java file
First we will declare some variables

public static final String UPLOAD_URL = "http://simplifiedcoding.16mb.com/ImageUpload/upload.php";

public static final String UPLOAD_KEY = "image";

public static final String TAG = "MY MESSAGE";

private int PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST = 1;

private Button buttonChoose;

private Button buttonUpload;

private ImageView imageView;

private Bitmap bitmap;

private Uri filePath;

Inside onCreate method we will initialize our components

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

buttonChoose = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonChoose);

buttonUpload = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonUpload);

buttonView = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonViewImage);

imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);

buttonChoose.setOnClickListener(this);

buttonUpload.setOnClickListener(this);

}

As you can see we have added setOnClickListener to the buttons.
So now come to your onClick method and write the following code

@Override

public void onClick(View v) {

if (v == buttonChoose) {

showFileChooser();

}

if(v == buttonUpload){

uploadImage();

}

Here we have two methods showFileChooser() this method will show the gallery from where user can choose image to upload.
When the user will choose an Image to upload, then after selection we will show that image to the ImageView we created in our main layout.
These two methods will do all the require things

private void showFileChooser() {

Intent intent = new Intent();

intent.setType("image/*");

intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);

startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST);

}

@Override

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

if (requestCode == PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null && data.getData() != null) {

filePath = data.getData();

try {

bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), filePath);

imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

Now we have the Image which is to bet uploaded in bitmap.
We will convert this bitmap to base64 string
So we will create a method to convert this bitmap to base64 string

public String getStringImage(Bitmap bmp){

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);

byte[] imageBytes = baos.toByteArray();

String encodedImage = Base64.encodeToString(imageBytes, Base64.DEFAULT);

return encodedImage;

}

Now finally create uploadImage() method

private void uploadImage(){

class UploadImage extends AsyncTask<Bitmap,Void,String>{

ProgressDialog loading;

RequestHandler rh = new RequestHandler();

@Override

protected void onPreExecute() {

super.onPreExecute();

loading = ProgressDialog.show(MainActivity.this, "Uploading Image", "Please wait...",true,true);

}

@Override

protected void onPostExecute(String s) {

super.onPostExecute(s);

loading.dismiss();

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),s,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

@Override

protected String doInBackground(Bitmap... params) {

Bitmap bitmap = params[0];

String uploadImage = getStringImage(bitmap);

HashMap<String,String> data = new HashMap<>();

data.put(UPLOAD_KEY, uploadImage);

String result = rh.sendPostRequest(UPLOAD_URL,data);

return result;

}

Now thats it for Android Image Upload to Server. You can see the final complete code below for MainActivity.java

}

}

if(v == buttonUpload){

}

So thats it for our Android Upload Image to Server app. In the next part of Android Upload Image to Server app we will see how we can fetch the uploaded images. You can also download the source code of this Android Upload Image to Server app from the link given below.

First of all Thanks for posting this!
Can you help me with this I am getting “Error Registering ” as a toast when i try to Upload Images!

  If you wrote the exact code as I have written then there is no possibilities of getting an Error Registering message.. This message is coming from your php script.. So I would suggest you to create an HTML page and try uploading image by sending request to the script.. and check if the upload is working or not..

  Actually this method sendGetRequest will be used when we fetch the uploaded image.. but in this part I did not cover fetching image.. So when I will publish the next part to fetch image from server we will use this method.. You can check by downloading my source code.. it is working correctly

Awesome. It’s working great. Is there any way I can upload tags or some other metadata to go in another column in the database? I saw a String MY_MESSAGE. Is that for another data field in a future tutorial? I’d like to be able to tag the pictures, dog, cat, girl, etc and then search the database by tag. Thanks again. I’m looking forward to your next tutorial.

  If your images are so large in size then you should not upload it to mysql database.. rather store the path of the image in mysql database in store image in a particular directory…
  Try changing the datatype from blob to long blob it will support larger images

Belal,
That`s a great tutorial! Much better than the official one.
I have applied every single step and run the app on my phone (Samsung Galaxy s4). But I might be missing something since I have the following problem: 1 – GUI shows as expected, 2 – Click on choose image button, 3 – Select an image from the gallery, 4 – App stops running. The error message on the console is: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=1, result=-1, data=Intent { dat=content://media/external/images/media/27997 (has extras) }} to activity {com.example.h130145.imageuploadsample/com.example.h130145.imageuploadsample.MainActivity}: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: reading com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider uri content://media/external/images/media/27997 from pid=1319, uid=10061 requires android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or grantUriPermission()
Looks like there is some kind of permission issue but I could not figure out exactly where it is. Any idea what is going wrong? Thanks in advance!!!

Dear Belal Khan, thanks for your tutorial. I have facing some problem here. I created a same table with yours in my web hosting server and using your sample application to upload and retrieve the image. However, i found out that the picture i uploaded to database is not same with the original picture, some part is missing as white color presented in the picture. You can check it out at the following link (“http://tarucassist.comli.com/getImage.php?id=1 ).
The details of the picture is
width: 720
height: 1280
file size: 404kb
another example which is successfully display whole picture: http://tarucassist.comli.com/getImage.php?id=3
However, the size of this picture is smaller than the first 1 which details shows as below:
width: 250
height: 250
file size 42.0kb
may i ask it is the size problem or ?

Hi,
Great tutorial. I do have a question .
Why do you have to upload the image in bitmap and convert to base64 string.
Using basic html and php as the code below through the computer browser I can upload any image in its native format.
Can’t Android handle the raw picture file format such as *.png or *.jpg etc?
Standard upload code below:
Upload Data
File:
<?php
// connect to database
mysql_connect("localhost","myusername","mypassword") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("SharperApp_1") or die(mysql_error());
//file properties
$file = $_FILES['Image_1']['tmp_name'];
if (!isset($file))
echo "Please select an Image.";
else
{
$image = addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES['Image_1']['tmp_name']));
$image_name = addslashes($_FILES['Image_1']['name']);
$image_size = getimagesize($_FILES['Image_1']['tmp_name']);
if ($image_size==FALSE)
echo "That's not an image.";
else
{
if (!$insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO Inspection_Data VALUES ('','$image_name','','','','','','$image')"))
echo "Problem uploading image.";
else
{
$lastid = mysql_insert_id();
echo"Image Uploaded.Your image:”;
}
}
}
?>

I can see you upload the image by convert to bitmap and then to base64. If I want to upload files like .pdf, I’ll just have to skip the bitmap conversion, and make it to base64 before upload. is that true? some say “file is just a file anyway so it will work” so I want to confirm it from you.

  He forgot to define the “$con” variable. That’s what is probably giving the problem. it’s the varibale that does the actual connection to the database.
  I have another php class that has a function to connect:
  conn = new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_DATABASE);
  // return database handler
  return $this->conn;
  }
  }
  ?>
  then in the above php file I defined $con as follows:
  // connecting to db
  $db = new DB_Connect();
  //sql connection
  $con = $db ->connect();

Hi,
I’ve a problem wherein, I cannot upload images above 50kb, for some reason. I’m using Godaddy server and also checked max_upload_size but it is 32M, so this should not happen right?
If you can help please?

Hi,
I’ve encountered similar problems, where the toast displayed is it might have been due to the fact that i’m using xampp server. Is it possible for it to work using xampp server and how do i make it work?

Hi Bilal, This is nice tutorial. I am having problem in php webservice of uploading image in database. When I am uploading image at that time null value inserted in image column and it shows message Image Uploaded Successfully. I think $_POST[‘image’] is getting empty. So, please help me.
