Question

The whole thing works perfectly, except image won’t show, no errors, Using RoR. What am I missing? All called by async class btw. Been trying several different methods with no avail, if someone could help me out that would be great. Willing to post more if needed.

Thanks!

public static void multiPart(Bitmap image, String topicid, String topost, Context c){
        String responseString = "";
        {
            try {
                String imageName = System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg";
                HttpClient httpClient = new MyHttpClient(c);
                HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost("https://urlofmyapi");
                if (image==null){
                    Log.d("TAG", "NULL IMAGE");
                }
                ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                image.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 75, bos);
                byte[] data = bos.toByteArray();
                ByteArrayBody bab = new ByteArrayBody(data, imageName);
                MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
                reqEntity.addPart("feed", new StringBody(topost));
                reqEntity.addPart("post_to", new StringBody(topicid));
                reqEntity.addPart("upload_file", bab);
                postRequest.setEntity(reqEntity);
                HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(postRequest);
                BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
                  new InputStreamReader(
                      response.getEntity().getContent(), "UTF-8"));
                String sResponse;
                StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder();
                while ((sResponse = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                   s = s.append(sResponse);
                }
                responseString = s.toString();
              System.out.println("Response: " + responseString);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.e(e.getClass().getName(), e.getMessage());
            }
          }
        }

HTTP POSTing images from Java to RoR always seems to have undue issues for me. Have you tried attaching the binary as a org.apache.http.entity.mime.content.FileBody object, like this Android Multipart Upload question?
