Upload an image AND send text with $_POST through an android app

I have to upload an image to my server but also send some text. This is what Ive done, but it doesn't work:

String  UploadImage(Bitmap bm) {
    String resp = null;
    try {  
        ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bm.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 75, bos);
        byte[] data = bos.toByteArray();

        HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost("myserver.com/add.php");
        String rndName =generateSessionKey(15);

        List<NameValuePair> nameValuePair = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);
        nameValuePair.add(new BasicNameValuePair("filename",rndName));
        nameValuePair.add(new BasicNameValuePair("email",email));

        UrlEncodedFormEntity form;
        form = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePair);
        form.setContentEncoding(HTTP.UTF_8);
        try {
            postRequest.setEntity((HttpEntity) new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePair,"UTF-8"));
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            // writing error to Log
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        ByteArrayBody bab = new ByteArrayBody(data,rndName+".jpg");

        MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
        reqEntity.addPart("uploaded", bab);
        //reqEntity.addPart("photoCaption", new StringBody("sfsdfsdf"));
        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);
        }
        resp=s.toString();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // handle exception here
        Log.e(e.getClass().getName(), e.getMessage());
    }
    return resp;
}

The server doesnt get filename and email.

Why doesn't it work?

Thanks for your assistance!

You can not combine UrlEncoded and Multipart. Instead, add all string fields as it own part of a Multipart.

Look here for an example: Apache HttpClient making multipart form post
