Hello guys, in this post I came up with an easy solution for uploading files from android to server. So today we will see an example of Android Upload Image to Server. I have already posted some example of Android Upload Image to Server previously. But in this post we will use android upload service for our Android Upload Image App.
Check the Updated Android Upload File Tutorial Here
In this tutorial I will store the image file inside servers directory and in database I will store the URL of the image. For this I will use Android Upload Service library and it makes uploading files super easy. So lets see how we can do it. First we will create our server side codes.
Android Upload Image to Server Video Tutorial
- You can also go through this video tutorial to learn how to upload image from android to server.
Creating Server Side Codes for Android Upload Image
The first thing we need is to create our server side web services. For server side I am using PHP and MySQL. And for this I am using Wamp server. You can still use xampp or any other application. Now follow the steps to create your web service to handle the file upload.
- Go to localhost/phpmyadmin and create the following database table.
- Now inside your server’s root directory (c:/wamp/www) and create a new folder. I created AndroidUploadImage.
- Inside the folder create a folder named uploads, in this folder we will save all the uploaded images.
- Create a file named dbDetails.php and write the following code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | <?php define('HOST','localhost'); define('USER','root'); define('PASS',''); define('DB','db_images'); |
- Now create a file named upload.php and write the following code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 | <?php //importing dbDetails file require_once 'dbDetails.php'; //this is our upload folder $upload_path = 'uploads/'; //Getting the server ip $server_ip = gethostbyname(gethostname()); //creating the upload url $upload_url = 'http://'.$server_ip.'/AndroidImageUpload/'.$upload_path; //response array $response = array(); if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){ //checking the required parameters from the request if(isset($_POST['name']) and isset($_FILES['image']['name'])){ //connecting to the database $con = mysqli_connect(HOST,USER,PASS,DB) or die('Unable to Connect...'); //getting name from the request $name = $_POST['name']; //getting file info from the request $fileinfo = pathinfo($_FILES['image']['name']); //getting the file extension $extension = $fileinfo['extension']; //file url to store in the database $file_url = $upload_url . getFileName() . '.' . $extension; //file path to upload in the server $file_path = $upload_path . getFileName() . '.'. $extension; //trying to save the file in the directory try{ //saving the file move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'],$file_path); $sql = "INSERT INTO `db_images`.`images` (`id`, `url`, `name`) VALUES (NULL, '$file_url', '$name');"; //adding the path and name to database if(mysqli_query($con,$sql)){ //filling response array with values $response['error'] = false; $response['url'] = $file_url; $response['name'] = $name; } //if some error occurred }catch(Exception $e){ $response['error']=true; $response['message']=$e->getMessage(); } //displaying the response echo json_encode($response); //closing the connection mysqli_close($con); }else{ $response['error']=true; $response['message']='Please choose a file'; } } /* We are generating the file name so this method will return a file name for the image to be upload */ function getFileName(){ $con = mysqli_connect(HOST,USER,PASS,DB) or die('Unable to Connect...'); $sql = "SELECT max(id) as id FROM images"; $result = mysqli_fetch_array(mysqli_query($con,$sql)); mysqli_close($con); if($result['id']==null) return 1; else return ++$result['id']; } |
- Now test your script. You can use a rest client to test it I am using POSTMAN. See the below screenshot.
- If you are seeing the above response then. Your script is working fine. You can check the database and upload folder which you have created.
- So its working absolutely fine. Now lets move ahead and create a android project.
Creating Android Studio Project
We are done with the server side coding for this Android Upload Image Example. Now lets code our android application. Follow the steps given.
- Create a Android Studio Project.
- Create a class named Constants.java and write the following code. The following class contains the path to our php file which we created. You are seeing two strings. The second it the path to the file we will create at the end of this post.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | package net.simplifiedcoding.androidimageupload; /** * Created by Belal on 6/10/2016. */ public class Constants { public static final String UPLOAD_URL = "http://192.168.94.1/AndroidImageUpload/upload.php"; public static final String IMAGES_URL = "http://192.168.94.1/AndroidImageUpload/getImages.php"; } |
- You need to change the IP according to your system. To know the IP you can use IPCONFIG command in command prompt (windows user).
- Now we need to add android upload service to our project.
Adding Android Upload Service
- Go to your app level build.gradle file and add the following line inside dependencies block and sync your project.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0' //Add this line compile 'net.gotev:uploadservice:2.1' } |
- Come to activity_main.xml and write the following xml code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context="net.simplifiedcoding.androidimageupload.MainActivity"> <LinearLayout android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal"> <Button android:id="@+id/buttonChoose" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Select" /> <EditText android:id="@+id/editTextName" android:hint="Name For Image" android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <Button android:id="@+id/buttonUpload" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Upload" /> </LinearLayout> <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" /> </LinearLayout> |
- The above code will generate the following layout.
- As you can see we have two buttons, one to select image and other to upload image. We also have an EditText to enter the name for the image.
- Now come to MainActivity.java and write the following code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 | package net.simplifiedcoding.androidimageupload; import android.Manifest; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.pm.PackageManager; import android.database.Cursor; import android.graphics.Bitmap; import android.net.Uri; import android.os.Bundle; import android.provider.MediaStore; import android.support.annotation.NonNull; import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat; import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText; import android.widget.ImageView; import android.widget.Toast; import net.gotev.uploadservice.MultipartUploadRequest; import net.gotev.uploadservice.UploadNotificationConfig; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.UUID; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener { //Declaring views private Button buttonChoose; private Button buttonUpload; private ImageView imageView; private EditText editText; //Image request code private int PICK_IMAGE_REQUEST = 1; //storage permission code private static final int STORAGE_PERMISSION_CODE = 123; //Bitmap to get image from gallery private Bitmap bitmap; //Uri to store the image uri private Uri filePath; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); //Requesting storage permission requestStoragePermission(); //Initializing views buttonChoose = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonChoose); buttonUpload = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonUpload); imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView); editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextName); //Setting clicklistener buttonChoose.setOnClickListener(this); buttonUpload.setOnClickListener(this); } /* * This is the method responsible for image upload * We need the full image path and the name for the image in this method * */ public void uploadMultipart() { //getting name for the image String name = editText.getText().toString().trim(); //getting the actual path of the image String path = getPath(filePath); //Uploading code try { String uploadId = UUID.randomUUID().toString(); //Creating a multi part request new MultipartUploadRequest(this, uploadId, Constants.UPLOAD_URL) .addFileToUpload(path, "image") //Adding file .addParameter("name", name) //Adding text parameter to the request .setNotificationConfig(new UploadNotificationConfig()) .setMaxRetries(2) .startUpload(); //Starting the upload } catch (Exception exc) { Toast.makeText(this, exc.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } } //method to show file chooser 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); } //handling the image chooser activity result @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(); } } } //method to get the file path from uri public String getPath(Uri uri) { Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null); cursor.moveToFirst(); String document_id = cursor.getString(0); document_id = document_id.substring(document_id.lastIndexOf(":") + 1); cursor.close(); cursor = getContentResolver().query( android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, null, MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + " = ?

- Finally add the storage and internet permission on your manifest.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="net.simplifiedcoding.androidimageupload"> <!-- add these permissions --> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest> |
- Thats it now just run your app.
- Bingo! Its working absolutely fine. Now you may need to fetch the uploaded images.
Fetching the Uploaded Images
- To fetch the images inside your server side project, create one more file named getImages.php and write the following code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 | <?php //Importing dbdetails file require_once 'dbDetails.php'; //connection to database $con = mysqli_connect(HOST,USER,PASS,DB) or die('Unable to Connect...'); //sql query to fetch all images $sql = "SELECT * FROM images"; //getting images $result = mysqli_query($con,$sql); //response array $response = array(); $response['error'] = false; $response['images'] = array(); //traversing through all the rows while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){ $temp = array(); $temp['id']=$row['id']; $temp['name']=$row['name']; $temp['url']=$row['url']; array_push($response['images'],$temp); } //displaying the response echo json_encode($response); |
- This code will give you the following JSON.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 | { "error":false, "images":[ { "id":"1", "name":"Belal Khan", "url":"http:\/\/192.168.94.1\/AndroidImageUpload\/uploads\/1.jpg" }, { "id":"2", "name":"Belal", "url":"http:\/\/192.168.94.1\/AndroidImageUpload\/uploads\/2.jpg" }, { "id":"3", "name":"", "url":"http:\/\/192.168.94.1\/AndroidImageUpload\/uploads\/3.jpg" }, { "id":"4", "name":"Belal Khan", "url":"http:\/\/192.168.94.1\/AndroidImageUpload\/uploads\/4.jpg" } ] } |
- Now you can use the following tutorial to display the images using the above JSON.

sir,, can i request tutorial about how to implement Single Sign-On Android??
thank u sir 🙂
Amazing tutorial guys It came exactly when I needed it to build upload for our app .. Fliiby << 🙂 will be live from July I hope 🙂
I did a lot of modifications like loading images with glide since loading bitmap is memory heavy.. text immediately started lagging when I load 4-5mb picture.. changed notifications system etc… but guys thanks again it helped me a lot..
==glide change for image=====
@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();
Glide.with(getApplicationContext())
.load(filePath)
.diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.ALL)
// .fitCenter()
.centerCrop()
.crossFade(500)
.priority(Priority.HIGH)
.into(imageView);
}
}
Hi Belal,
I am following your tutorials and these are very helpful for me, Thank you for tutorials.
I want the code for downloading pdf file which is stored in my database.
Could you please write the code and upload it for me.
How to upload the image that is captured with camera within the android application,, im getting trouble please help….
Belal Khan your tutorial is fantastic. It is easy to comprehend and implement. However I am getting this error in the error log in the server
“mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given in /…………../AndroidUploadImage/upload.php on line 78”
I am using postman exactly as you show and I am getting no responce and status 200 OK.
What could be the issue here?
Thanks in advance.
PS. In your tutorial you use AndroidUploadImage, but in your code you use AndroidImageUpload. Some people will scratch their head if they copy the code and find out it doesn’t work.
name and url are uploaded in mysql. but image is not uploading in the folder when i run the php code in postman.
I had the same error and what i did is to copy any image that you have and paste it in that folder and name it with the previous id, for example if your last register in database is 12 that image have to have that number, and now try to do upload again a picture using the app and it might work.
1.Check if the client has necessary permission for uploading files.
2.Check your PHP Configuration File To Check File Size Upload Limit/No Of Files/Temp Directory and Change according to your requirement.

I used the same method for uploading image into filezilla server. Everything is fine but the image is not uploading into the folder created in filezilla. can you please help me?
Hello Bilal,
I followed your tutorial and uploads are going through(even a 5 mb image goes through successfully. However, when i uppload another image, it overwrites the previous image. The first image was uploaded as 1.jpg. Then I uploaded a .png file and it was saved as 1.png. But when I try uploading more jpg files, it only overwrites and does not increment the number to 2 and so on. I also noticed my table returns no rows after this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Rakesh
I am too Stuck on This Do You find the Solutions What Wrong here….Do you have any notions how to calculate response from server in the activity
hi, i meet a same problem, and i find the it can be solve just through modify some segment.
i modify code in line 33-40 to:
// getting the file filename
$filename = $fileinfo[‘filename’];
//getting the file extension
$extension = $fileinfo[‘extension’];
//file url to store in the database
$file_url = $upload_url . $filename . ‘.’ . $extension;
//file path to upload in the server
$file_path = $upload_path . $filename . ‘.’. $extension;
these code segment let picture save use thire own filename, as if your picture named “boy.jpg”, it will upload to “AndroidImageUpload/uploads” with its own name “boy.jpg”.
Hi Mr. Belal!
I appreciate your tutorial so much and it has helped me to build a good android app which I will be asking you to download and assess for improvement.
I an using this example to upload an image but I don’t want the image to be displayed on the activity but the filepath to be set on the edittext. In the process, I realised that you are not setting the filepath on the edittext.
Kindly check you observation and respond.
Thanks and regards.
hey!

its not the same size size i uploaded.
What if 2 or more than 2 user upload images with same name like 1.jpg then how can we differentiate in them?
Nice tutorial, one question, how do you set headers for authorization in this method?
Thanks Bro You are my saviour.

Have you tried downloading my code?
Where is service?
Android Upload Service is the name of the library we are using here
Hey Belal,
Thank you the tutorial but I am having some trouble getting it running. When I hit upload, the app crashes. After some inspection, it seems the cursor in getPath() is empty. This is the redefinition of the cursor that is empty, so the cursor defined as: cursor = getContentResolver().query(
android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
null, MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + ” = ? “, new String[]{document_id}, null);
I’m not sure how to fix this. Any help would be much appreciated!
new MultipartUploadRequest(this, uploadId, SyncStateContract.Constants.UPLOAD_URL)

hey! nice post!
I’m trying to upload an image from gallery, I’ve allready tested the php on Postman and succesfully upload an Image in my server and updated my DataBase.
When it comes to android……
try {
String uploadId = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
new MultipartUploadRequest(this, uploadId, URL_PHP”)
.addFileToUpload(path, “image”) //Tomar archivo
.addParameter(“name”, name) //guardar parametro nombre
.setNotificationConfig(new UploadNotificationConfig())//notificacion en barra para carga
.setMaxRetries(2)
.startUpload(); //Iniciar la carga
Toast.makeText(this, “si tomo el archivo y si lo busco en php”, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (Exception exc) {
Toast.makeText(this, exc.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
The app is showing how the file is uploading, but when it finishes… the notification is: “Error during Upload”
where am I wrong?
Im testing on android 5.1
Using packet Capture…… it throws:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
How can I fix it?

I followed every step very carefully around 5-7 times, but not able to upload image. I have Ubuntu 16 server. I tried with Postman that is also not working for me. I really need help.
In Php file If I write print_r($_POST); it show everything is perfect in $_POST, but when we get $_POST[‘name’] and other values, they comes as empty. Means print_r($_POST[‘name’]); prints nothing.
Can anyone help
