Question

I made a program which uploads a video to an asp.net server. Then I want to develop my application by adding a progress bar. However, after adding the progress bar I am not able to upload the file to the server.( this is the result that I get after debugging!!!) Could you please help me what is wrong with my code?

Answer 1

You have to call the upload task like

new Upload().execute();

and you are not doing the right by calling asynTask like the way you did

So you code just looks like the following

Upload a = new Upload();
a.execute 

Instead of

upload a = new upload();
            a.onPreExecute();
            a.doInBackground();
            a.onProgressUpdate();

And if your code to upload the file is correct , this will work

and if you want to update the progress bar use Handler class

Handler handler = new Handler(){
    @Override 
    public void handleMessage(int what){
        mProgress.setProgress(mProgressStatus);
     }

as described in ProgressBar widget

And inside the doInBackground() method invoke the method publishProgress() as described here AsyncTask Docs
