File(s) upload (v5)

How to upload file(s) from SDK >= 5.0.1

The following information explain how to implement files upload from the SDK.
In order to use the file upload feature, you need to update at least the SDK to 5.0.1.

πŸ“˜

By default, the file upload web service reach this url: https://" +appName + ".apnl.ws/files/upload
But it's possible to set a specific one !

With uploadFile(s)

The easiest way to upload one or more files is to use the uploadFile-s methods.

For one file, the function uploadFile require at least 3 parameters :

  • the name of the file to upload
  • the file to upload
  • the callback listener

You can upload several files by using uploadFiles which require at least 2 parameters:

  • a map list associating filename and file
  • the callback listener

But you can give more attributes

  • additionnal query parameters
  • additionnal query headers
  • a specific url for uploading service
//Optional additional parameters
  val params = HashMap<String, String>()
  params["key1"] = "value1"
  params["key2"] = "value2"

  //Optional API URL customisation
  val url = "https://custom-ws-url/upload"
  
  //Method to send one file...
  APWSManager.uploadFile("myfilename",
                       file,
                       params,
                       url,
                       object : UploadListener {
                           override fun onResponse(response: String) {
                               Log.d("DEV", "onResponse $response")
                           }
                           override fun onError(error: String) {
                               Log.d("DEV", "onError $error")
                           }
                       })
  
  //...or with several files
  val files: MutableMap<String, File> = HashMap()
  files["filename"] = file1
  files["filename2"] = file2
    
  APWSManager.uploadFiles(files,
                          params,
                          url,
                          object : UploadListener {
                             override fun onResponse(response: String) {
                                 Log.d("DEV", "onResponse $response")
                             }
                             override fun onError(error: String) {
                                 Log.d("DEV", "onError $error")
                             }
                          })

With these methods the token is sent by default as query parameter if it is previously setted in the SDK local configuration :

APManager.instance.localConfiguration.userToken = "user_token"

With request

An other way more similar to standard query is to build the file request like below

val req = FileRequest(
                object : UploadListener {
                    override fun onResponse(response: String) {
                        Log.d("DEV", "onResponse $response")
                    }
                    override fun onError(error: String) {
                        Log.d("DEV", "onError $error")
                    }
                })
  
  //Optional additional parameter
  req.addParam("key", "value")
  //or several
  val params = HashMap<String, String>()
  params["key1"] = "value1"
  params["key2"] = "value2"
  req.addParams(params)
    
	//Optional additional headers
  val headers = HashMap<String, String>()
  headers["key1"] = "value1"
  headers["key2"] = "value2"
  req.headers = headers

  //Add one...
  req.addFile("filename", file)
  //...or several files
  val files: MutableMap<String, File> = HashMap()
  files["filename"] = file1
  files["filename2"] = file2
  req.addFiles(files)
  
  //Optional API URL customisation
  req.url = "https://custom-ws-url/upload" // param is uploadAPI for SDK <= 5.0.3
    
  //Optional user token sending
  req.sendUserToken = true
    
  //Optional upload timeout
  req.timeout = 60
    
  //Optional manually define the content type of file
  req.contentType = "app/toto"

  APWSManager.doRequest(req)

With these methods the token is sent as query parameter if it was previously setted in the SDK local configuration AND if the request attribute sendUserToken is setted as TRUE

APManager.instance.localConfiguration.userToken = "user_token"
  //...
  req.sendUserToken = true

You can add more attributes to your request as

  • a specific contentType to manually set the mime type of your file, determined from extension instead
  • a specific timeout
