Video File Transfer From Android Phone To Server

I'm writing a video processing Android application. The user of the application would take a video, and the application would send the video to the server for some frame by frame p

Solution 1:

Sending video to server from byte[] may cause outOfMemoryError so its better to post video from MultiPart. You can download jar file from this link. http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi . Download and add httpmime-4.2.jar to your project.

publicvoiduploadVideo(Context context, String videoPath) {
        try {
            HttpClienthttpClient=newDefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPostpostRequest=newHttpPost(context.getString(R.string.url_service_fbpost));
            MultipartEntityreqEntity=newMultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
            if(!videoPath.isEmpty()){

                FileBodyfilebodyVideo=newFileBody(newFile(videoPath));
                reqEntity.addPart("uploaded", filebodyVideo);
            }
            postRequest.setEntity(reqEntity);
            HttpResponseresponse= httpClient.execute(postRequest);

            BufferedReaderreader=newBufferedReader(newInputStreamReader(
                    response.getEntity().getContent(), "UTF-8"));
            String sResponse;
            StringBuilders=newStringBuilder();

            while ((sResponse = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                s = s.append(sResponse);
            }

            Log.e("Response: ", s.toString());
            returntrue;

        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e(e.getClass().getName(), e.getMessage());
            returnfalse;
        }
}

Solution 2:

I found that the compression ratio could be about 16:1. Enough for me to choose to compress it in this situation. The above ratio is if I compressed it to a JPEG.
