title: How to capture an image and store on server using android
body: <p>I am trying to upload an image from an Android device to a remote server. So far I have the following code but the image being saved on the remote server is always zero bytes.</p>
  
  <pre><code>     HttpURLConnection conn;
  
       String serverpath = "http://110.172.27.47:9499";
       String MREPORTER_SERVLET_PATH="/mreporter/servlet/MReporterServlet";
  
  
       url = serverpath + MREPORTER_SERVLET_PATH;
  
       try
       {
           URL url = new URL( serverpath + MREPORTER_SERVLET_PATH );
           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", "multipart/form-data;boundary="+ "*****" );
  
           conn.setRequestProperty(USER_NAME_REQUEST_PARAMETER, "parth");
           conn.setRequestProperty(EVENT_NAME_REQUEST_PARAMETER, "null" );
           conn.setRequestProperty(CAMERAID_REQUEST_PARAMETER, "1");
           conn.setRequestProperty(ACTION_MODE_PARAMETER, "POST_DATA_ACTION" );
  
           DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
  
           Log.i("Response", conn.getResponseCode() + "" );
  
           int response = conn.getResponseCode();
  
           if ( response == 200 )
           {
               Log.i("size",data.length + "");
  
               if ( data.length &gt; 0 )
               {
                   dos.write(data);
                   Log.i("200","OK" );
               }
               else
               {
                   Log.i( "Error", response +  "" );
               }
           }
