Question

Hi Iam doing an android aplication in which iam uploading videos to PHP server.
Iam using HTTPURLConnection to do the upload. Iam strucked in showing progress bar in notification area and updating it.
Iam searching almost a week to do this.But can’t get a hint.Please help me if anybody knows:

My code:

HttpURLConnection conn = null;
        DataOutputStream dos = null;
        DataInputStream inStream = null;
        String lineEnd = "\r\n";
        String twoHyphens = "--";
        String boundary = "*****";
        int bytesRead;
        byte[] buffer;
        String urlString = "http://xxxxx/My_path.php";
        try {
            long total = 0;
            int count = 0;
            // ------------------ CLIENT REQUEST
            UUID uniqueKey = UUID.randomUUID();
            fname = uniqueKey.toString();
            Log.e("UNIQUE NAME", fname);
            FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(
                    new File(selectedPath));
            URL url = new URL(urlString);                       
            conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            int length=selectedPath.length();
            conn.setDoInput(true);
            conn.setDoOutput(true);
            conn.setUseCaches(false);
            conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
            conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
            conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
                    "multipart/form-data;boundary=" + boundary);
            dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
            dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
            dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"uploadedfile\";filename=\""
                    + fname + "" + lineEnd);
            dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
            buffer = new byte[8192];
            bytesRead = 0;
            while ((bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {                                 
                dos.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);                    
            }           
            dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
            dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + twoHyphens + lineEnd);           
            Log.e("Debug", "File is written");
            fileInputStream.close();
            dos.flush();
            dos.close();

        } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
            Log.e("Debug", "error: " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            Log.e("Debug", "error: " + ioe.getMessage(), ioe);
        }       
        // ------------------ read the SERVER RESPONSE
        try {
            inStream = new DataInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
            String str;
            while ((str = inStream.readLine()) != null) {
                Log.e("Debug", "Server Response " + str);
            }
            inStream.close();

        } catch (IOException ioex) {
            Log.e("Debug", "error: " + ioex.getMessage(), ioex);
        }

After a long search i finished the task of showing progress bar in notification area.All we need is asynctask.May be the code iam showing here will not work perfectly,It works fine when iam testing.Please check and upvote for this answer if it works good.

My code:

public class loadVideo extends AsyncTask<Void, Integer, Void> {

        int progress = 0;
        Notification notification;
        NotificationManager notificationManager;
        int id = 10;

        protected void onPreExecute() {

        }

        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
            HttpURLConnection conn = null;
            DataOutputStream dos = null;
            DataInputStream inStream = null;
            String lineEnd = "\r\n";
            String twoHyphens = "--";
            String boundary = "*****";
            int bytesRead;
            int sentData = 0;               
            byte[] buffer;
            String urlString = "http://xxxxx/xxx/xxxxxx.php";
            try {
                UUID uniqueKey = UUID.randomUUID();
                fname = uniqueKey.toString();
                Log.e("UNIQUE NAME", fname);
                FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(new File(
                        selectedPath));
                int length = fileInputStream.available();
                URL url = new URL(urlString);
                conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
                conn.setDoInput(true);
                conn.setDoOutput(true);
                conn.setUseCaches(false);
                conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
                conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
                conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",

                dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
                dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
                dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"uploadedfile\";filename=\""
                        + fname + "" + lineEnd);
                dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
                buffer = new byte[8192];
                bytesRead = 0;
                while ((bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                    dos.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
                    sentData += bytesRead;
                    int progress = (int) ((sentData / (float) length) * 100);
                    publishProgress(progress);
                }
                dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
