I am trying to upload an image to a PHP file on a server using the POST method. I have been trying to do this using LoopJ AndroidAsyncHttp with no success. The server also requires a basic auth username and password. So far, I have been able to successfully POST the regular data parameters (These are simple string key-valued pairs like: "name":"joe") and get a response from the server. However, as soon as I try to attach the image to the POST request, the request fails giving me the following errors:
Error Message: null
Error Cause: org.apache.http.client.NonRepeatableRequestException: Cannot retry request with a non-repeatable request entity
The code that I am using follows the examples given at http://loopj.com/android-async-http/ very closely. Here is the code that I am using:
RequestParams params = new RequestParams();
params.put("name",name);
String path = "/path/to/img";
File myFile = new File(path, "picture.png");
if( myFile.exists() ) {
try {
params.put("picture", myFile);
} catch(FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.d("App","Error Attaching Picture: " + e.toString());
}
} else {
Log.d("App","File DOES NOT exist");
}
String urlString = "url-to-server";
AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
client.setBasicAuth("User", "Pass");
client.post(urlString, params, new AsyncHttpResponseHandler(){
@Override
public void onSuccess(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] responseBody) {
super.onSuccess(statusCode, headers, responseBody);
}
@Override
public void onFailure(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] responseBody, Throwable error) {
super.onFailure(statusCode, headers, responseBody, error);
Log.d("App","Upload Failed!");
Log.d("App","Error Message: " + error.getMessage());
Log.d("App", "Error Cause: " + error.getCause());
}
@Override
public void onStart() {
super.onStart();
}
});
So what am I doing wrong here? I have also double checked and the file that I am reading to get the image does exist and it does have data in it, so I have ruled that out as a potential cause. I have been struggling with this issue a little too long now. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
