I'm trying to upload Image to the Server, Which I have done and works very well. But the problem I'm facing is I want to Upload Image as well as pass some parameter with that Image like Mobile Number..

I'm very new to android and also don't know anything about PHP side coding,, I have tried the following code to upload Image, I added few more lines to pass Mobile Number with that Image. I really don't know is that right way or not but please correct me if I'm wrong...

    public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{

    private TextView messageText;
    private Button uploadButton, btnselectpic;
    private ImageView imageview;
    private int serverResponseCode = 0;
    private ProgressDialog dialog = null;

    private String upLoadServerUri = null;
    private String imagepath=null;
    private String usernumber="3333333333";
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        uploadButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.uploadButton);
        messageText  = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.messageText);
        btnselectpic = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button_selectpic);
        imageview = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView_pic);

        btnselectpic.setOnClickListener(this);
        uploadButton.setOnClickListener(this);
        upLoadServerUri = "http://XXX.XX.X.XXX/Images/UploadToServer.php";
    }


    @Override
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        if(arg0==btnselectpic)
        {
            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setType("image/*");
            intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
            startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Complete action using"), 1);
        }
        else if (arg0==uploadButton) {

             dialog = ProgressDialog.show(MainActivity.this, "", "Uploading file...", true);
             //messageText.setText("uploading started.....");
             new Thread(new Runnable() {
                 public void run() {

                    UploadImageController.execute(,usernumber);

                      uploadFile(imagepath,usernumber);

                 }
               }).start();     
        }

    } 

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

        if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            //Bitmap photo = (Bitmap) data.getData().getPath(); 

            Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
            imagepath = getPath(selectedImageUri);
            Bitmap bitmap=BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imagepath);
            imageview.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
           // messageText.setText("Uploading file path:" +imagepath);

        }
    }
         public String getPath(Uri uri) {
                String[] projection = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
                Cursor cursor = managedQuery(uri, projection, null, null, null);
                int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
                cursor.moveToFirst();
                return cursor.getString(column_index);

         }

    private static String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {

        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

        String line = null;
        try {
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                sb.append(line + "\n");
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            try {
                is.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        return sb.toString();
        }
    }
}

This is the server side code to save the Image..

<?php

       $file_path = "uploads/";

       $file_path = $file_path . basename( $_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']);
       if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'], $file_path)) {
           echo "success";
       } else{
           echo "fail";
       }
?>

Please tell me how I can fetch that Mobile Number at server side???

I have done this recently with PHP CodeIgniter:

Android Side:

/*** POST THIS CODE AFTER
dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream()); 
***/

dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=mobile_no" + lineEnd); // name=mobile_no so you have to get PHP side using mobile_no
dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
dos.writeBytes(mobile_number); // mobile_no is String variable
dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);

PHP Side (Core PHP):

$mobile_no = $_POST['mobile_no'];

PHP Side (Using CodeIgniter Framework):

$mobile_no => $this->input->post('mobile_no');

Try this:

$mobileNumber = $_POST['userNumber']; // get mobile number from post

Since you are using POST method:

conn.setRequestMethod("POST");

And setting mobile number as:

conn.setRequestProperty("userNumber", usernumber);
