show ProgressBar while file is uploading

I wrote a code in the Android project that uploads a file with a specific name and address to the server. But ProgressBar does not work well and does not show progress and file upload percentage. But the file upload works well and is located on the server. Now I want to show the percentage of progress in the Progress bar when uploading the file to the server to determine how much of the file has been uploaded to the server.
I tried to do this with AsyncTask.
My code ...
private class UploadTask extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, String> {
private final Context context;
public UploadTask(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... sUrl) {
// take CPU lock to prevent CPU from going off if the user
// presses the power button during download
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK,
getClass().getName());
wl.acquire(10 * 60 * 1000L /*10 minutes*/);
try {
String fileName = uploadFilePath + uploadFileName;
HttpURLConnection conn = null;
DataOutputStream dos = null;
String lineEnd = "\r\n";
String twoHyphens = "--";
String boundary = "*****";
int bytesRead, bytesAvailable, bufferSize;
byte[] buffer;
int maxBufferSize = 1 * 1024 * 1024;
File sourceFile = new File(uploadFilePath + uploadFileName);
if (!sourceFile.isFile()) {
dialog.dismiss();
Log.e("uploadFile", "Source File not exist :"
+ uploadFilePath + "" + uploadFileName);
getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#SuppressLint("SetTextI18n")
public void run() {
messageText.setText("Source File not exist :"

}
});
Sneaker.with(getActivity())
.setTitle("Error !")
.setMessage("Source File not exist")
.sneakError();
} else {
try {

File upload not working android

I have the following file upload function:
public void uploadFile(Context context, File file) {
String urlServer = "https://u-database.000webhostapp.com/recieve_file.php";
if(file.isFile() && file.exists()) {
String fileName = file.getAbsolutePath();
try {
HttpURLConnection conn = null;
DataOutputStream dos = null;
String lineEnd = "\r\n";
String twoHyphens = "--";
String boundary = "*****";
int bytesRead, bytesAvailable, bufferSize;
byte[] buffer;
int maxBufferSize = 1 * 1024 * 1024;
Toast toastw = Toast.makeText(context, "Inside TRY", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toastw.show();
FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
URL url = new URL(urlServer);
// Open a HTTP connection to the URL
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true); // Allow Inputs
conn.setDoOutput(true); // Allow Outputs
conn.setUseCaches(false); // Don't use a Cached Copy
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "Keep-Alive");
conn.setRequestProperty("ENCTYPE", "multipart/form-data");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data;boundary=" + boundary);
conn.setRequestProperty("textLog", fileName);
dos = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + lineEnd);
dos.writeBytes("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"textLog\";filename=\""+fileName+"\""+lineEnd);
dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
// create a buffer of maximum size
bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available();
bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
// read file and write it into form...
bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
while (bytesRead > 0) {
dos.write(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available();
bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
}
// send multipart form data necesssary after file data...
dos.writeBytes(lineEnd);
dos.writeBytes(twoHyphens + boundary + twoHyphens + lineEnd);
// Responses from the server (code and message)
int serverResponseCode = conn.getResponseCode();
String serverResponseMessage = conn.getResponseMessage();
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, "Uploading", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
if(serverResponseCode == 200){
file.delete();
Toast toasto = Toast.makeText(context, "success", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toasto.show();
}
fileInputStream.close();
dos.flush();
dos.close();
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, "Malformed URL", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, "Exception", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
}
}
}
Each time it is executed, a toast appears stating Inside TRY and then another appears stating "Exception".
I have been debugging a lot and any kind of help would be really appreciated :)
UPDATE
When I did e.toString and printed it out to a toast, I got: android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

The answer is simple then. You should run your network calls on a background thread. You need to extend AsyncTask and move your code into it. Something like:
private class InitTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>{
protected Void doInBackground(Void... p){
// Call upload file code here
}
}

Resolving java.lang.outofmemory error causing half of the file to be uploaded to server

Now files gets uploaded however all file size of 1 MB and that too can not be played.

bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
byte byt[]=new byte[bufferSize];
fileInputStream.read(byt);
You are not writing the bytes read into byt out to the outputstream. Removing the first read into byt should fix a problem. But you will come across another problem where a file over 1MB only the first 1MB will be uploaded.
A proper way to copy a stream is to do something similar to
byte[] buf = new byte[ 1024 ];
int read = 0;
while( ( read = in.read( buf ) ) != -1 ) {
out.write( buf, 0, read );
}

avoid buffering the whole POST data in RAM by adding conn.setChunkedStreamingMode(0); after : con.setDoOutput(true);
hope this help :)

Upload code gets executed only once

I'm trying to design an application that starts a camera intent, uploads a photo, (and hopefully, work in progress: parse an XML response from the server, then move to another activity and fill in some form fields).
The problem is that so far the upload code is executed the 1st time I run the application, the 2nd time it gets skipped, the 3rd time works fine, 4th skips and so on.

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

I know now that this issue is caused by the convertStreamToString method in class UploadFiles but I can't understand what exactly causes it. When I remove it completely everything works fine. Thank you in advance!

The first minor problem:
Using available is basically wrong, though it might work.
The second minor problem:
Do not use DataOutputStream here. I guess it is done to be able to write Strings to an OutputStream.
response.setContentType("...; charset=Windows-1252");
BufferedWriter wr = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(os, "Windows-1252"));
Somehow also specifying the encoding/charset may help.
Problem with the convertStreamToString:
In no extra encoding parameter is added to the InputStreamReader, the default platform encoding is used. UTF-8 on Android. That would fail relatively fast.
You might give a less strict single-byte encoding a try to see what happens:
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "Windows-1252"));
In general encoding is not handled: URLConnection.getContentEncoding() maybe is informative.

You are doing couple of things wrong here.
Don't leave exception blocks empty. It hides all the error. Use Log.e to print that.
Don't use System.out.println. Use Log.* only for logging.
Don't use AsyncTask to upload your file. Use IntentService Instead. And using localbroadcastmanager broadcast upload events for your activity to listen. It will be more configuration change friendly.
Instead of doing all this file upload sorcery yourself. Use httpmime library instead. It works simply awesome on android. I have my apps on production using this. Something like this you have to do.
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(urlToUpload);
MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity();
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(sourceFileUri);
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bmp.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 50, bos);
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(bos.toByteArray());
ContentBody imageContent = new InputStreamBody(in, "image/jpeg", sourceFile.getName());
entity.addPart("file", imageContent);
post.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
You will have your everything in 'response' for you to read.
String responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());
From here you can download this library http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/httpcomponents/httpmime/4.2.5/

I have used this https://github.com/alexbbb/android-upload-service for file uploads.
I handle all the response-related logic inside the Broadcast receiver, where I'm waiting for the upload responses.

How to declare method globally in Class

I want to call startUpload(position); method in loginbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {} like this:
loginbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
SaveData();
alertDialog.dismiss();
startUpload(position);
}
but always getting : position cannot be resolved to a variable

The declaration of position is key here.
Make sure it is in the method that contains this loginButton.onClickListener code and make sure it is declared as final

If it can be resolved as a variable it's not because of your method,
it's because position is not an attribute.
So, delcare it as :
int position = -1;
And then set it to use your method.

TRY IT
Create a Global variable POSITION then assign POSITION=position in your startUpload() method , it'll work.

When referencing variables, they must be definitive within the scope of the method.
So for methods, make sure it is either passed as a parameter, or it is defined as a global variable within the class.
