Yes, there is, you just have to use Base64 to encode and decode the file stream. To encode you'll use the android.util.Base64 class and at the server side (if you're also using Java) you can use the commons-codec Base64 class.

The idea would be build the xml file as with whatever tool you would like to:

<image>
  <user>username</user>
  <other-property>property</other-property>
  <data><-- here you'll add your base64 encoded image as a string -->
</image>

Once you do this, just upload the XML file itself to your server and parse the XML file in there.
