I need to upload file from Android client to an URL via HTTP POST. If upload just 1 file, than it is OK for me. but my target URL page code is looks like following

<form action="file_upload.php" enctype ="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<input type="file" name="uploadedfile">
<input type="file" name="uploadedfile2">
<input type="submit">
</form>

How can I upload 2 more files via HTTP POST at same time ?

I tried following code and confirm that's workable solution:

StringBuffer responseBody=new StringBuffer();

Log.i(Constants.TAG, "Ready to upload file...");
HttpClient client=new DefaultHttpClient();
client.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);

Log.i(Constants.TAG, "Set remote URL...");
HttpPost post=new HttpPost("http://IP.IP.IP.IP/file_upload.php");
MultipartEntity entity=new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);

Log.i(Constants.TAG, "Adding file(s)...");
entity.addPart("uploadedfile", new FileBody((FileObj), "application/zip"));
entity.addPart("uploadedfile2", new FileBody((FileObj), "application/zip"));

Log.i(Constants.TAG, "Set entity...");
post.setEntity(entity);

BufferedReader bs=null;
try
{
  Log.i(Constants.TAG, "Upload...");
  HttpEntity hEntity=client.execute(post).getEntity();
  bs=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(hEntity.getContent()));
  Log.i(Constants.TAG, "Response length - "+hEntity.getContentLength());
  String s="";
  while(s!=null)
  {
    responseBody.append(s);
    s=bs.readLine();
    Log.i(Constants.TAG, "Response body - "+s);
  }
  bs.close();
}
catch(IOException ioe)
{
  Log.i(Constants.TAG, "Error on getting response from Server, "+ioe.toString());
  ioe.printStackTrace();
  responseBody.append("...");
}

My platform is Android 2.2, and use this solution need to get httpmime.jar as project library.

If you need to add any arguments in request, then add in MultiPartEntity object such as<br> multiPartEntity.addPart("testpara,", new StringBody("value"));<br>
