how to use okhttp to upload a file?
I've created cool helper class for OkHttp3. it here
public class OkHttp3Helper {
public static final String TAG;
private static final okhttp3.OkHttpClient client;
static {
TAG = OkHttp3Helper.class.getSimpleName();
client = new okhttp3.OkHttpClient.Builder()
.readTimeout(7, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
.writeTimeout(7, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
.build();
}
private Context context;
public OkHttp3Helper(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
/**

* {@code formField.put("key2", "value2");}<br/>

* @return response from server in String format

*/
@NonNull
public String postToServer(@NonNull String url, @Nullable ArrayMap<String, String> formField)
throws Exception {
okhttp3.Request.Builder requestBuilder = new okhttp3.Request.Builder().url(url);
if (formField != null) {
okhttp3.FormBody.Builder formBodyBuilder = new okhttp3.FormBody.Builder();
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : formField.entrySet()) {
formBodyBuilder.add(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
requestBuilder.post(formBodyBuilder.build());
}
okhttp3.Request request = requestBuilder.build();
okhttp3.Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
if (!response.isSuccessful()) {
throw new IOException(response.message());
}
return response.body().string();
}

private okhttp3.MediaType getMediaType(URI uri1) {
Uri uri = Uri.parse(uri1.toString());
String mimeType;
if (uri.getScheme().equals(ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT)) {
ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
mimeType = cr.getType(uri);

Here's an answer that works with OkHttp 3.2.0:
public void upload(String url, File file) throws IOException {
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
RequestBody formBody = new MultipartBody.Builder()
.setType(MultipartBody.FORM)
.addFormDataPart("file", file.getName(),
RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("text/plain"), file))
.addFormDataPart("other_field", "other_field_value")
.build();
Request request = new Request.Builder().url(url).post(formBody).build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
}
Here is a basic function that uses okhttp to upload a file and some arbitrary field (it literally simulates a regular HTML form submission)
Change the mime type to match your file (here I am assuming .csv) or make it a parameter to the function if you are going to upload different file types
public static Boolean uploadFile(String serverURL, File file) {
try {
RequestBody requestBody = new MultipartBody.Builder().setType(MultipartBody.FORM)
.addFormDataPart("file", file.getName(),
RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("text/csv"), file))
.addFormDataPart("some-field", "some-value")
.build();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url(serverURL)
.post(requestBody)
.build();
client.newCall(request).enqueue(new Callback() {
@Override
public void onFailure(final Call call, final IOException e) {
// Handle the error
}
@Override
public void onResponse(final Call call, final Response response) throws IOException {
if (!response.isSuccessful()) {
// Handle the error
}
// Upload successful
}
});
return true;
} catch (Exception ex) {
// Handle the error
}
return false;
}
Note: because it is async call, the boolean return type does not indicate successful upload but only that the request was submitted to okhttp queue.
Note: this answer is for okhttp 1.x/2.x. For 3.x, see this other answer.
The class Multipart from mimecraft encapsulates the whole HTTP body and can handle regular fields like so:
Multipart m = new Multipart.Builder()
.type(Multipart.Type.FORM)
.addPart(new Part.Builder()
.body("value")
.contentDisposition("form-data; name=\"non_file_field\"")
.build())
.addPart(new Part.Builder()
.contentType("text/csv")
.body(aFile)
.contentDisposition("form-data; name=\"file_field\"; filename=\"file1\"")
.build())
.build();
Take a look at examples of multipart/form-data encoding to get a sense of how you need to construct the parts.
Once you have a Multipart object, all that's left to do is specify the right Content-Type header and pass on the body bytes to the request.
Since you seem to be working with the v2.0 of the OkHttp API, which I don't have experience with, this is just guess code:
// You'll probably need to change the MediaType to use the Content-Type
// from the multipart object
Request.Body body = Request.Body.create(
MediaType.parse(m.getHeaders().get("Content-Type")),
out.toByteArray());
For OkHttp 1.5.4, here is a stripped down code I'm using which is adapted from a sample snippet:
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
OutputStream out = null;
try {
URL url = new URL("http://www.example.com");
HttpURLConnection connection = client.open(url);
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : multipart.getHeaders().entrySet()) {
connection.addRequestProperty(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
// Write the request.
out = connection.getOutputStream();
multipart.writeBodyTo(out);
out.close();
// Read the response.
if (connection.getResponseCode() != HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
throw new IOException("Unexpected HTTP response: "
+ connection.getResponseCode() + " " + connection.getResponseMessage());
}
} finally {
// Clean up.
try {
if (out != null) out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
