Posting image and string data as multipart from android to server

I am trying to post data as multipart using post method from android client to server

• Image part is working fine
• I am not able to get the data from edittext to be able to send as another key value

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity { Button submit; ProgressDialog pDialog; InputStream is; EditText name; ImageView imageView; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); submit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.SUBMIT_BUTTON_ID); name = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1); imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1); submit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub new MainTest().execute(); } }); } /** * Method to post the image to the server. * U will have to change the url which will accept the image data. * @throws IOException */ public void postImageData() { try { Bitmap bitmapOrg = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.image); String NAME = name.getText().toString(); HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost("http://10.0.2.2:7002/Details/"); MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE); try{ ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); bitmapOrg.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 75, bos); byte[] data = bos.toByteArray(); ByteArrayBody bab = new ByteArrayBody(data, "image.jpg"); reqEntity.addPart("key", bab); reqEntity.addPart("key1", NAME); } catch(Exception e){ //Log.v("Exception in Image", ""+e); reqEntity.addPart("picture", new StringBody("")); } 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); } }catch(Exception e){ e.getStackTrace(); } } public class MainTest extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> { @Override protected void onPreExecute() { pDialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this); pDialog.setMessage("Loading.."); pDialog.setIndeterminate(true); pDialog.setCancelable(false); pDialog.show(); } @Override protected String doInBackground(String... params) { postImageData(); return null; } @Override protected void onPostExecute(String result) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onPostExecute(result); // data=jobj.toString(); pDialog.dismiss(); } } } 

activity_main.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" tools:context=".MainActivity" > <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="168dp" android:layout_weight="0.41" android:orientation="vertical" tools:context=".MainActivity" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="101dp" android:layout_marginTop="32dp" android:clickable="false" android:src="@drawable/image" /> <EditText android:id="@+id/editText1" android:layout_width="195dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingTop="50dp" android:layout_gravity="center" android:ems="10" /> </LinearLayout> <Button android:id="@+id/SUBMIT_BUTTON_ID" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="47dp" android:text="SUBMIT" /> </LinearLayout> 

I am getting the error in the line ::

reqEntity.addPart("key1", NAME); 

as

The method addPart(String, ContentBody) in the type MultipartEntity is not applicable for the arguments (String, String) 

how can i overcome this !
