I am uploading an image and video on to a php server, using multipart. I want to be able to cancel the upload when user presses button like whatsapp.
The progress is shown correctly but I just want to cancel upload on click but I don't know how.
Here is my current source code:
private String uploadFile() {
String responseString = null;
int count;
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(serviceurl+"conversations.php");
try {
MultipartEntityBuilder entity = MultipartEntityBuilder.create();
File sourceFile = new File(imgstring);
/* example for setting a HttpMultipartMode */
entity.setMode(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
if(Integer.parseInt(msgtype)==3)
{
entity.addPart("thumb", new FileBody(videothumb));
}
// Progress listener - updates task's progress
MyHttpEntity.ProgressListener progressListener =
new MyHttpEntity.ProgressListener() {
@Override
public void transferred(float progress) {
publishProgress((int) progress);
probar.setProgress((int) progress);
}
};
// Adding file data to http body
entity.addPart("file", new FileBody(sourceFile));
// Extra parameters if you want to pass to server
entity.addTextBody("from_user",(prefid.getString("userid", null)),ContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);
entity.addTextBody("to_user",userid,ContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);
entity.addTextBody("message_type", msgtype,ContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);
httppost.setEntity(new MyHttpEntity(entity.build(),
progressListener));
// Making server call
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity r_entity = response.getEntity();
int statusCode = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
if (statusCode == 200) {
responseString = EntityUtils.toString(r_entity);
} else {
responseString = "Error occurred! Http Status Code: "
+ statusCode;
}
// input.close();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
responseString = e.toString();
} catch (IOException e) {
responseString = e.toString();
}
return responseString;
}
Call cancel method of asynTask to cancel the execution of upload/download.
