Many peoples requested me to write a tutorial to upload video to server. So in this android upload video to server tutorial we will learn how we can upload video from android gallery to our web server.
For this tutorial I will be using Hostinger’s fee web hosting server.
Some peoples also asked me about a tutorial to upload files to my website. So, you can also use this for File Upload Server Application with a little modification.
So the first thing I need to do for this android upload video to server project, is to create a php script that will handle the multipart request sent from our android device.
Creating Server Side Scripts
- Go to your hosting (You can also use wamp/xampp) and create a directory. (I created VideoUpload).
- Now inside the directory create one more directory named uploads.
- And create a new file upload.php, and write the following php code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 | <?php if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){ $file_name = $_FILES['myFile']['name']; $file_size = $_FILES['myFile']['size']; $file_type = $_FILES['myFile']['type']; $temp_name = $_FILES['myFile']['tmp_name']; $location = "uploads/"; move_uploaded_file($temp_name, $location.$file_name); echo "http://www.simplifiedcoding.16mb.com/VideoUpload/uploads/".$file_name; }else{ echo "Error"; } |
- Note down the URL for upload.php and thats all for the server side.
Android Upload Video To Server Project
- Open android studio and create a new project. I created VideoUpload.
- Now 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 | <?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:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" 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.videoupload.MainActivity"> <Button android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Choose File" android:id="@+id/buttonChoose" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/textView" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <Button android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Upload" android:id="@+id/buttonUpload" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/textViewResponse" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> </LinearLayout> |
- The above code will produce the following layout.
- Now we will create a new class to handle the upload.
- Create a new class named Upload.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 | package net.simplifiedcoding.videoupload; import android.util.Log; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.DataOutputStream; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.net.HttpURLConnection; import java.net.MalformedURLException; import java.net.URL; /** * Created by Belal on 11/22/2015. */ public class Upload { public static final String UPLOAD_URL= "http://simplifiedcoding.16mb.com/VideoUpload/upload.php"; private int serverResponseCode; public String uploadVideo(String file) { String fileName = file; HttpURLConnection conn = null; DataOutputStream dos = null; String lineEnd = "\r\n"; String twoHyphens = "--"; String boundary = "*****"; int bytesRead, bytesAvailable, bufferSize; byte[] buffer; int maxBufferSize = 1 * 1024 * 1024; File sourceFile = new File(file); if (!sourceFile.isFile()) { Log.e("Huzza", "Source File Does not exist"); return null; } try { FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(sourceFile); URL url = new URL(UPLOAD_URL); conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); conn.setDoInput(true); conn.setDoOutput(true); conn.setUseCaches(false); 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("myFile", fileName); dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream()); dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd); dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"myFile\";filename=\"" + fileName + "\"" + lineEnd); dos.writeBytes(lineEnd); bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available(); Log.i("Huzza", "Initial .available : " + bytesAvailable); bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize); buffer = new byte[bufferSize]; bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize); while (bytesRead > 0) { dos.write(buffer, 0, bufferSize); bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available(); bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize); bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize); } dos.writeBytes(lineEnd); dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + twoHyphens + lineEnd); serverResponseCode = conn.getResponseCode(); fileInputStream.close(); dos.flush(); dos.close(); } catch (MalformedURLException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } if (serverResponseCode == 200) { StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); try { BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn .getInputStream())); String line; while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) { sb.append(line); } rd.close(); } catch (IOException ioex) { } return sb.toString(); }else { return "Could not upload"; } } } |
- The above code will simply send a multipart request to the URL specified. And will return the response from the server as a string.
- 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 | package net.simplifiedcoding.videoupload; import android.app.ProgressDialog; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.database.Cursor; import android.net.Uri; import android.os.AsyncTask; import android.provider.MediaStore; import android.support.v4.content.CursorLoader; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.text.Html; import android.text.method.LinkMovementMethod; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.ProgressBar; import android.widget.TextView; import android.widget.Toast; import android.widget.VideoView; import org.json.JSONException; import org.json.JSONObject; import java.io.File; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener { private Button buttonChoose; private Button buttonUpload; private TextView textView; private TextView textViewResponse; private static final int SELECT_VIDEO = 3; private String selectedPath; @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); textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView); textViewResponse = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewResponse); buttonChoose.setOnClickListener(this); buttonUpload.setOnClickListener(this); } private void chooseVideo() { Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setType("video/*"); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select a Video "), SELECT_VIDEO); } @Override public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) { if (requestCode == SELECT_VIDEO) { System.out.println("SELECT_VIDEO"); Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData(); selectedPath = getPath(selectedImageUri); textView.setText(selectedPath); } } } 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.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, null, MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + " = ? ", new String[]{document_id}, null); cursor.moveToFirst(); String path = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA)); cursor.close(); return path; } private void uploadVideo() { class UploadVideo extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> { ProgressDialog uploading; @Override protected void onPreExecute() { super.onPreExecute(); uploading = ProgressDialog.show(MainActivity.this, "Uploading File", "Please wait...", false, false); } @Override protected void onPostExecute(String s) { super.onPostExecute(s); uploading.dismiss(); textViewResponse.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>Uploaded at <a href='" + s + "'>" + s + "</a></b>")); textViewResponse.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); } @Override protected String doInBackground(Void... params) { Upload u = new Upload(); String msg = u.uploadVideo(selectedPath); return msg; } } UploadVideo uv = new UploadVideo(); uv.execute(); } @Override public void onClick(View v) { if (v == buttonChoose) { chooseVideo(); } if (v == buttonUpload) { uploadVideo(); } } } |
- Now add READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and INTERNET permission to your manifest file.
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 | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="net.simplifiedcoding.videoupload"> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> <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> |
- Now run your application.

Hii Belal,
Thanks for this tutorial it helps me alot. it’s working absolutely fine. You are great!!
What is meant by making directory. Where should i make the directory. Im a little confused about it. Thanks in advance
Hii Belal,
I want to save video url in database with some parameter like name and address. here is the code with some change .Those changes i have made in “android-upload-video-to-server-using-php ”
public static final String KEY_TEXT = “pondid”;
public static final String KEY_TEXT1 = “name”;
public static final String UPLOAD_URL = “http://192.168.0.113/userregistration/uploads.php”;
//onCreate()
e_pondid=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.e_pondid);
e_name=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.e_name);
//uploadVideo()
final String pondid = e_pondid.getText().toString().trim();
final String name = e_name.getText().toString().trim();
//doInBackground()
RequestHandler rh = new RequestHandler();
HashMap param = new HashMap();
param.put(KEY_TEXT,pondid);
param.put(KEY_TEXT1,name);
String result = rh.sendPostRequest(UPLOAD_URL, param);
return result;
Is it working or not? You just need to store the url of the video to your mysql table. Try clubbing the other tutorial with this one..
Hii Ashwini,
I also have same doubt, I want store Video URL with some attributes like name, description.
How to send the name and address parameters from java coding.
Thanks,
i am getting a error that failed to open stream
In which line you are getting the error? Post a screenshot if you can
in line no 9 of php script.

you need to change the url in android studio after moving the script
Hey Bro!
It works well after moving php script…….
Thanks………

Thanks buddy keep visiting (y)
Hello Belal
First of all, thank you for your post. I am trying to make an application which uploads a video to the server based on your code. When I try to upload a video, I get a string response successfully. But the thing is I actually do not manage to upload the file itself. I’m trying to find out what the problem is with my code, but there is a limit. So I need your help. If you don’t mind, could you visit my GitHub account and check it out?
The Android application link is https://github.com/marshallslee/VideoStreaming
The classes that are involved in uploading the videos are VideoManager.java (the class which uploads the video, link: https://github.com/marshallslee/VideoStreaming/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/marshall/videostreaming/network/VideoManager.java) and UploadAVideoActivity.java (the UI class, link: https://github.com/marshallslee/VideoStreaming/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/marshall/videostreaming/ui/UploadVideoActivity.java).
and the php-side link is https://github.com/marshallslee/VideoStreamingBackend/tree/master/VideoStreaming.
If you have some time to check it out and find out what the problem is, that will be very much helpful for me. Thank you in advance.
I will get back to you ASAP.. As I am having my end semester exams.. I am not able to go through your code.. So till then please keep trying (y)
Hello Belalo thanks alot for your wonderful tutorial again 🙂
Every thing you post works perfectly 🙂
Now, I have a small question,I was trying to send a String from android with the video.
In your past tutorial :
https://www.simplifiedcoding.net/android-upload-image-from-gallery-with-text/
you managed to send the text as a hashmap:
OutputStream os = conn.getOutputStream();
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(
new OutputStreamWriter(os, “UTF-8”));
writer.write(getPostDataString(postDataParams));
writer.flush();
writer.close();
I tried to implement this in this code (with the getPostDataString sure) but i failed , so i had to use this other way,
dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
dos.writeBytes(“Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\”name\”” + lineEnd);
dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
dos.writeBytes(Config.NAME); // NAMEis String variable
dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
which is working good but i had to re do this for every string i am gonna send, I was wondering if you can tell me how to implement your old code into this one,,, (not the fully code and sure not the main activity code My problem is only with the sendpostrequest method 🙂
And i know you have exams and no hurry my friend take your time and god bless you.
Still waiting for your help master 😀
Still 😀
Bhai pahele to thank sooo much your tutorials are worth for the students like us u make it soo easy and no need to download any external library or any other stuff thnx through your tutorials I learned to post text,images on wamp and receive back thnx to u for that there is no other easy way to this except ua tutorials .. now I here with 1 problem of storing videos on server every thing is working fine just when the video is uploaded from app the response from php is ” undefined myFile” how to resolve this
php returned myFile undefined index in text view how should I resolve it
Hi man, Thank you for your posts. I was wondering, how would you use this very code to add more parameters to the data sent from upload.java to php script. I’m basically trying to upload a video with a comment at the same time.
In one of the posts where you upload to the server you did something like this;
@Override
protected String doInBackground(Void… params) {
RequestHandler rh = new RequestHandler(); already created up. But if it leads to errors use it
HashMap param = new HashMap();
param.put(Config.KEY_USR_ID, userId);
param.put(Config.KEY_CMT, cmt);
String result = rh.sendPostRequest(Config.URL, param);
return result;
}
I can’t get this to work in this particular example.
Hey man.Can you please explain me in which directory should I create php file
hi belal i want to fetch video plzzz bro help me out
Thank you for the well explained tutorials. Really nice work. This code also works for me. But I want to add the video to database. I tried to do this. Can you explain simply the way to do this? I made a android project by following your ‘upload image to server’ with some changes. I created php file too.But getting errors.i think the error comes because of php file. Please help me on this.
Hi Belal,
Thanks for your great Tutorial. I am beginner to android and for client – server Communication. My Doubt is, Can I use My Xampp Localhost IP to connect with my android, for fetching data to server and getting responses. If YES please send me the procedure. with one small example to email id(venkat.madhu03@gmail.com)…
Thanks in Advance for your help…
Hi Belal,
I am use your code for upload the mp4 file on server, it uploaded successfully but video file is not playing, so what can do for this problem.
Thanks
Hi, I’m trying to add a EditText to put a name, and add not get to send it by post with the video.
Someone can help me ?, thanks
This is real close to what I am wanting to do, however, I need a little more functionality.
Is there a way, I can make it where users have to enter their User Name and Password for the server in to the app, have it verify them on the server, then have a button to live record the video, then upload to the server, but put it in their personal video folder. I will also need to add the video to the MySql Database.
Doable?

In the AndroidManifest :
I just download the projet, each time a click on a video it crash.

Hi,
i tried your code…………. it runs properly without any error, but there is bug. when i m selecting video file. i debug the code , it stopped on ……
private String getPath(Uri uri) { Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
how can i fix it…
thanx.
These codes do not work on version 5 of android.
selectedPath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
and
cursor.moveToFirst();
It says there are some mistakes in the parts.
Heyy Bilal,
I have tried your code it only stores the name of file on the server not the complete file. Is it from program or there is any mistake?
Thanks in advance
