I am new to api's particularly usergrid. However i have to test usergrid through code(Java).can somebody post a method to upload an asset(a file) into usergrid using java client.
After working around a bit I found a way.Here it is..
public static ApiResponse uploadFileToServer(){
File file = new File("your asset path");
Map<String, Object> dataParams = new HashMap<String, Object>();
data.put("name", <file_name>);
data.put("file", file);
//here type and name are necessary to create entity
data.put("type", <collection_name>);
data.put("name", <entity_name>);
//entity_name will be the name of your new created entity.
Client client = new Client(<organization_name>, <application_name>);
client.setApiUrl(<url to hit>);
client.authorizeAppUser(<username>, <password>);
client.createEntity(dataParams);
String <uri> = <collection_name> + "/" + <entity_name>;
ApiResponse response = client.httpRequest(HttpMethod.POST,ApiResponse.class, null, dataParams, <organization_name>, <application_name>,
<uri>);
return response;
}
