Getting error while uploading file from real device to server

Question

I am getting an error while file uploading to the server from the real device. All are working well in the emulator as I switch to real device get an error.

Here is code,

Function to choose a file from the device

private void showFileChooser(int index) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
    intent.setType("application/*");
    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);

    try {
        startActivityForResult(
                Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select a File to Upload"),
                index);
    } catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {
        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Please install a File Manager.",
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

OnResultActivityCode :

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (requestCode == 1) {
        if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            Uri selectedFileURI = data.getData();
            File file = new File(selectedFileURI.getPath().toString());

            Log.i("", "File : " + file.getName());
            uploadedFileName = file.getName().toString();
            tokens = new StringTokenizer(uploadedFileName, ":");
            first = tokens.nextToken();
            file_1 = tokens.nextToken().trim();
        }
    }
}

Code to upload file :

@Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... strings) {
        try {

            HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("URL");


            if (file_1 != null && !file_1.equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
                file1 = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
                        .getAbsolutePath(), file_1);
                fileBody1 = new FileBody(file1);
            }

            MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(
                    HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);



            if (file_1 != null && !file_1.equalsIgnoreCase(""))
                reqEntity.addPart("file", fileBody1);

            httpPost.setEntity(reqEntity);

            HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
            HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();

            if (resEntity != null) {
                final String responseStr = EntityUtils.toString(resEntity)
                        .trim();
                Log.v(TAG, "Response: " + responseStr);
                getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        try {
                            parseData(responseStr);
                        } catch (JSONException e) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }
                });

            }

        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

Here is error that I got when try to do with real device.

I am not able to whats the problem is that. Please help.

Does the file really exist? If yes, does the app have permission to access it? — Henry, Dec 26 '15 at 07:37
What is the filename? why there's a space between `Woodenstreet ` and `Doc.doc`? Does `Woodenstreet ` part of path or the filename? — Hana Bzh, Dec 26 '15 at 07:51
Yes, file exits and I gave permission for READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE inside manifest.xml — , Dec 26 '15 at 07:51

It seems you getting wrong file path. Try this code to get file path and then change code and it works.

Use this code for get path of file.

public static String getRealPathFromUri(Context ctx, Uri uri) {
    String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DATA };

    Cursor cursor = ctx.getContentResolver().query(uri, filePathColumn,
            null, null, null);
    cursor.moveToFirst();
    int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
    picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
    Log.e("", "picturePath : " + picturePath);
    cursor.close();
    return picturePath;
}

And the change in your onActivityResult() code like this :

    getRealPathFromUri(getActivity(), selectedFileURI);

And finally use this in doInBackgraound() method

if (file_1 != null && !file_1.equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
                file1 = new File(picturePath);
                fileBody1 = new FileBody(file1);
            }

Hope this will help you.
