[ANDROID] uploading image to server, sometimes failed sometimes success

[Jacky9425]

Hi, i have encounter a untraceable issue. Whenever i pick an image from gallery or capture an image from camera, and immediately perform a upload function (using form post method to store into DB), there is a small probability that i will get a failure response (from the api). I have checked everything and the parameters, all of them are fine, even for the image uri and path.

Mostly i get an failure to upload if the image was taken from camera, may i know what is making the mess here?

Real time scenario, out of 8 uploads, maybe 2 will be failed.

Try passing a filename to your API like:

let formdata = new `FormData();
formdata.append("", { uri: image.path, name: filename, type: image.mime });

The filename can be anything you like.

any success ?

[JE-Zenarosa]

same with me. My server can't find the filename but sometimes it success

[kwstasarva]

@Standin-Alone Have you tried passing a filename as I have mentioned in my comment above? Can you show me the code that you're using to construct the formdata?

[JE-Zenarosa]

I have the same problem, 2 days I couldn't solve it. on IOS works like a charm, but on android sometimes it successes and sometimes it fails with network error. I tried a lot of things (Axios, fetch, XHR and react-native-fs) I also tried adding usesesClearTexts to android manifest, I tried commenting initializeFlipper in mainApllication.java which seems working for a lot of people. Unfortunately, nothing worked for me.

"react-native": "0.66.3"
"react-native-image-crop-picker": "^0.37.1"
"axios": "^0.24.0"

Upload code

const data = new FormData();
  data.append('file', {
    name: file.name,
    type: file. mime,
    uri: Platform.OS === 'android' ? file.uri : file.uri.replace('file://', ''),
  });
 
// api is axios instance with authorization
  const response = await api.post(url, data,
    {
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
      },
    },
  );

Same issue for me also.

When u see the selected file object:

{
  "height": 3000,
  "mime": "image/jpeg",
  "modificationDate": "1678966724000",
  "path": "file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/appname/files/Pictures/image-16192248104.jpg",
  "size": 7275035,
  "width": 4000
}

this height and width is the issue. If you give height+width in the property, this crash will not come. But giving height+width more than 900*900 also may give a crash. so you have to check it.

like this way

ImagePicker.openPicker({
  width: 300,
  height: 400,
  cropping: true
}).then(image => {
  console.log(image);
});
