Android Large Video Uploading to server?

Question

Android large video uploading to php server ,I read many answer in stackoverflow.

Android: OutOfMemoryError while uploading video - how best to chunk?

How to send HTTP POST request and receive response?

i tried it but can't works for me even using setChunkedStreamingMode()..When i upload video its give me OutOfMemoryError

when i record video 5 second its works nice but more than 8 or 10 second video app force close due to OutOfMemoryError

MY CODE::

                HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
                HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(getString(R.string.login_url)
                        + "uploadvideo");
                HttpResponse response = null;
                InputStream inputStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(
                        Uri.fromFile(myFile));
                byte[] data = IOUtils.toByteArray(inputStream);
                String type = getFileExtension(myFile.getName().toString());

                String encodeurl = Base64.encodeBytes(data);

                try {

                    List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(
                            6);
                    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("returnformat",
                            "json"));
                    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("userid",
                            strUserid));

                    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("video",
                            data.toString()));

                    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("type", type));
                    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("title",
                            strVideoName));
                    nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("description",
                            strVideoComments));
                    httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

                    // Execute HTTP Post Request
                    response = httpclient.execute(httppost);

                    System.out.println(">>>>>>>>>>" + response.toString());

                } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

And i need upload video in Base64 Encoded String.And I know that memory error due to more memory than Heap-size.but i failed to upload video.

You shouldn't be setting a large byte[] to the entity. It's bound to run out of memory. You could use a FileEntity here.

but i need to send video to base64 encoded string ,not as a file ,then what should i do ? – Patel Mayur May 31 '12 at 18:00
You could create the file Base64 encoded, and attach the encoded file instead. – Kumar Bibek May 31 '12 at 18:01
can you give me code for that i cant understand it ,if it will works then i accept your answer – Patel Mayur May 31 '12 at 18:02
can you tell me how to convert `fileentity to Base64 String?` – Patel Mayur May 31 '12 at 18:09
No, You need to first convert the file to Base64 encoded content, and then create the FileEntity from the new file. – Kumar Bibek May 31 '12 at 18:09
ok but some times converting large file to bytearray and then base64 also comes outofmemoryerror exception.?and how to put base64 in fileentity? – Patel Mayur May 31 '12 at 18:12
Nope, try chunk by chunk conversion. – Kumar Bibek May 31 '12 at 18:15
ok can you tell me any code for chunks by chunks conversiong bytearray to Base64 ? – Patel Mayur May 31 '12 at 18:19

If the OutOfMemory error is coming from the server, the quick fix would be to update your php.ini variables:

upload_max_filesize = 100M

(or whatever you feel comfortable with)

or if you are POSTing, then you'll also want to change

post_max_size = 100M

Clearly, it's the OOM is on the device/emulator. – Kumar Bibek May 31 '12 at 17:59
