How to upload multiple images with other data to server from android in one request?

[yateeshr]

Hi,

I want to upload multiple images selected from gallery and upload it to server along with other data.
Other data will be inserted into database in server.
Till now what i have done is firing http url in a for loop till number of images. All images are getting uploaded.

But, problem is, so many times the data also have been inserted into table.
What I want is, to insert data only once and upload number of images selected into a folder in server.

JAVA code:

 
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(URL)
 
try
{    
        MultipartEntityBuilder entityBuilder = MultipartEntityBuilder.create();
        entityBuilder.setMode(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
        entityBuilder.addTextBody("a", "apple");
        entityBuilder.addTextBody("b", "banana");
        entityBuilder.addTextBody("c", "cake");
 
        for (String element : list) {
        File bin = new File(element);
        FileBody bin1 = new FileBody(bin);                    
        entityBuilder.addPart("ImageEncoded",bin1 );
        HttpEntity entity = entityBuilder.build();
        post.setEntity(entity);
        response = client.execute(post);        
        }    
        httpEntity = response.getEntity(); 
        result = EntityUtils.toString(httpEntity);
}
 

PHP code:

 
<?php 
 
    $target_path1 = "uploads/";
    $a = $_POST['a'];
    $b = $_POST['b'];
    $c = $_POST['c'];   
    $fname = $_FILES['ImageEncoded']['name'];
 
    $query1 = mysql_query("INSERT INTO demo VALUES('','$a','$b','$c','$fname')");
 
    $target_path1 = $target_path1 . basename( $_FILES['ImageEncoded']['name']);
    if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['ImageEncoded']['tmp_name'], $target_path1)) {
        echo "Success";
 
    } else{
        echo "Fail";
    }
 
?>

There is no way, you can pass directory and tell android to upload all images from the directory by magic.

[rules engine]

Just zip the content of the directory and upload it as single file.

When I started learning android development at one point, I needed to upload multiple images to a server that time, I faced this same problem. What helps me is I followed this question on stake overflow. I hope this
