upload image from android to php server

I'm trying to upload a photo from android device to a php website. For this I'm using MultipartEntity encoding.

For this I added to my project as an external jar file httpmime-4.1-beta1.jar.

What I want to upload to the php website is a image stored on the SDcard. To this end I'm doing the following in my code:

HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("....the link to the webiste...");

        MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity();
        StringBody sb=new StringBody("....");


        File file=new File("/sdcard/image.jpg");
        FileBody bin = new FileBody(file);
        reqEntity.addPart("android",bin);
        reqEntity.addPart("id", sb);

        httppost.setEntity(reqEntity);

        HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
        HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();


       if (resEntity != null) {
            String page = EntityUtils.toString(resEntity);
            System.out.println("PAGE :" + page);
        }

But the problem with this is that the response from php server is always a broken link.

What I wanna try next is to use

 MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);

But unfortunately the jar I imported doesn't has the class for HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE.So I would really appreciate if you could point me in the right direction-what else should I import for this to work....or how should I upload the image to the server. I must say that the server is build to upload photo this way:

method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"
                      name="form" target="_self" id="form">
                    <input type="hidden" name="p" value="a" />

Thanks!

I would recommend not to use a beta library. You should use apache-mime4j-0.6 .

You will also need httpmime-4.0.1.

These need to be your imports:

      import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
      import org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException;
      import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
      import org.apache.http.client.entity.UrlEncodedFormEntity;
      import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
      import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
      import org.apache.http.entity.mime.HttpMultipartMode;
      import org.apache.http.entity.mime.MultipartEntity;
      import org.apache.http.entity.mime.content.FileBody;
      import org.apache.http.entity.mime.content.StringBody;
      import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
      import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;
