Http protocol not allow 2 Content-Type in the same request. So you have to choose :

  • application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  • multipart/form-data

You use application/x-www-form-urlencoded by using annotation @FormUrlEncoded in order to send image you have to transform the whole file into text (e.g. base64).

A better approach would be use multipart/form-data by describing your request like that :

@Multipart
@POST("/datingapp/index.php/Webservice")
Call<Result> signupUser(@Part("user_name") String name,
                         @Part("age") String age,
                         @Part("work") String work,
                         @Part("home_town") String home_town,
                         @Part("gender") String gender,
                         @Part("interest") String interest,
                         @Part("study") String study,
                         @Part("email") String email,
                         @Part("password") String password,
                         @Part("device_id") String device_id,
                         @Part("device_type") String device_type,
                         @Part("user_image") RequestBody file,
                         @Part("signup") String signup);

Make api call like this :

@POST("/datingapp/index.php/Webservice")
@FormUrlEncoded
@Multipart
Call<Result> signupUser(@FieldMap LinkedHashMap<String, String> data,@Part RequestBody file);

and pass your data is the form of key and value in LinkedHashMap like this 

LinkedHashMap<String, String> data = new LinkedHashMap<>();
data.put("user_name", user_name);
data.put("age", age);
data.put("work", work);
data.put("work", work);
data.put("gender", gender); and so on ....

for getting image in Multiparts : 

RequestBody file= RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("image/jpeg"), file);

final call to hit the api :

Call<Result> call = apiService.signupUser(data ,file);

Hope this works :)

@Multipart
@POST("/datingapp/index.php/Webservice")
Call<Result> signupUser(@PartMap Map<String,String> queryMap,
                             @Part("user_image") RequestBody file);

Here the @PartMap contains the required other parameters which is nothing but a HashMap containing key and values e.g,

LinkedHashMap<String,String> map = new LinkedHashMap<String,String>();
map.put("user_name",username);

like above and so on.
