Question

Main Activity

Here is what I get when did from postman

I have tried with a different solution in StackOverflow flow. But nothing works for me. And this is the first time I am posting a question. So please forgive the mistakes and help me to improve.

Answer 1

Try This one:

    RequestBody requestFile = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("multipart/form-data"), file);
    MultipartBody.Part body = MultipartBody.Part.createFormData("parameter name", file.getName(), requestFile);
    RequestBody userId= createPartFromString("value");


    private RequestBody createPartFromString(String descriptionString) {
    return RequestBody.create(okhttp3.MultipartBody.FORM, descriptionString);
    }

Pass Value in method like

   Call<ResponseBody> addMediaCall = restInterface.addMedia(userId, body);

inside rest interface

@Multipart
@POST("media/add")
Call<ResponseBody> addMedia(@Part("user_id") RequestBody userId,
                            @Part MultipartBody.Part post_src);

Answer 2

Change things like below -

@Multipart
@POST("api/rest/manager")
Call<BasicResponse> addManger(@PartMap() Map<String, RequestBody> params, @Part MultipartBody.Part file);

Now create your Map<String, RequestBody> as you do now. For file you have to do like -

// create part for file (photo)
MultipartBody.Part body = prepareImagePart("userfile", fileUri);

Where, prepareFilePart is a function below -

@NonNull
private MultipartBody.Part prepareImagePart(String partName, File file) {  
    // create RequestBody instance from file
    RequestBody requestFile =
        RequestBody.create(
            MediaType.parse("image/*"), 
            file
        );

    // MultipartBody.Part is used to send also the actual file name
    return MultipartBody.Part.createFormData(partName, file.getName(), requestFile);
}

Answer 3

First of all create method which converts String to RequestBody

 public static RequestBody toRequestBody (String value) {
    RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("text/plain"), value);
    return body ;
}

then after pass string parameter -for example i pass one string parameter user_id

 Map<String, RequestBody> map = new HashMap<>();
    map.put("user_id", toRequestBody(userId));

then put image file

 File file = new File("file_name");
RequestBody fileBody = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("image/png"), cust_file);
map.put("userfile", fileBody);

Call api

 Call<BasicResponse> call = endpointInterface.addManger(map);

Webservice interface

@Multipart
    @POST("api/rest/manager")
    Call<BasicResponse> addManger(@PartMap Map<String, RequestBody> params);
