[SOLVED] webserver for file upload on android

webserver for file upload on android

I would like to add a webserver to my android application for uploading small files to the phone.

The user would start the webserver from the phone by hitting a button. He would then see an ip address that can be accessed by any browser from a pc. The website behind this ip address should show a file upload opportunity.

My question is: Is there an open source project similar to my needs? Or how would you recommend doing this?

Solution

you can use NanoHttpd link it's very weight android web server that is nicely embbedible..

package .....;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Map.Entry;
import java.util.Properties;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.net.wifi.WifiManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class AndroidWebServerActivity extends Activity {
private static final int PORT = 8765;
private TextView hello;
private MyHTTPD server;
private Handler handler = new Handler();

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();

try {
server = new MyHTTPD();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
if (server != null)
server.stop();
}

private class MyHTTPD extends NanoHTTPD {
public MyHTTPD() throws IOException {
super(PORT, null);
}

@Override
public Response serve(String uri, String method, Properties header, Properties parms, Properties files) {
final StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
for (Entry<Object, Object> kv : header.entrySet())
buf.append(kv.getKey() + " : " + kv.getValue() + "\n");
handler.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {

}
});

final String html = "<html><head><head><body><h1>Hello, World</h1></body></html>";
return new NanoHTTPD.Response(HTTP_OK, MIME_HTML, html);
}
}
}
