Android volley image upload request not working

Question

I have been trying to send request to upload an image from Android App to REST services API, I don't know how to this, can any one help me on this, here are the codes I am trying to use but it says Server side error (500) and on server side the exception is "the request is not a multipart request", please help me I am stuck... :

Android Code is

         Drawable multipartBody = imageView.getDrawable();
         Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)multipartBody).getBitmap();

         ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
         bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
         byte[] bitMapData = stream.toByteArray();

         MultipartRequest multipartRequest = 
    new MultipartRequest(
    APIEndpoints.getURI("UPLOAD_QUESTION_IMG") + newQuestionId[0],
    null,
    "image/jpeg",
    bitMapData,
    new Response.Listener<NetworkResponse>() {
          @Override
          public void onResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
             Log.d("Image Upload Was successful!", ""); Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Upload successfully!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
          }
    }, 
   new Response.ErrorListener() {
           @Override
           public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Upload failed!" + error.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
           }
    }
   );
requestQueue.add(multipartRequest);

Server Side Api is :

@RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.POST,value="/uploadQuestionImg/{searchId}")
    public ResponseEntity<FileMetadata> uploadFile( @PathVariable String searchId,
                                                    @RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file) {}

Server Side stack trace is :
