MultipartEntity multipartEntity = new MultipartEntity(
HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
Log.i("log_tag", "name :" + name + "  ::::: And Ext :" + ext);

if (data != null) {
bab = new ByteArrayBody(data, name.trim() + ".".trim()
+ ext.trim());
image_video_name = name.trim() + ".".trim() + ext.trim();
multipartEntity.addPart("image_video", bab);
multipartEntity.addPart("image_video_name", new StringBody(
image_video_name, Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
Log.i("log_tag", "At send image_video_name :"
+ image_video_name);
} else {
bab = null;
image_video_name = null;
}
// multipartEntity.addPart("image_video", bab);
// Log.i("log_tag", "At send bytearray :" + bab.toString());
multipartEntity.addPart("point_id", new StringBody(pointNumber,
Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
Log.i("log_tag", "At send point_id :" + pointNumber);
multipartEntity.addPart("user_id",
new StringBody("1", Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
Log.i("log_tag", "At send user_id :" + "1");

httppost.setEntity(multipartEntity);
HttpResponse response1 = mHttpClient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity r_entity = response1.getEntity();
String Response = EntityUtils.toString(r_entity);
JSONObject jobj = null;
try {
jobj = new JSONObject(Response);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
Joj = jobj.getString("status");
} catch (Exception e) {
}
Log.i("log_tag", "Response from server :" + Response);
mHttpClient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(HttppostClient.class.getName(), e.getLocalizedMessage(), e);
