Base 64 Encoding Of Data

[AlAtEX]

This uses the android.util.Base64 method of encoding to base 64, and will modify the data before it is saved/sent.

The server-side portion of this can easily be implemented by taking the portion where the server loads the file and decoding it, using this method:

byte[] data = Base64.decode(encoded_data, Base64.DEFAULT);
String text = new String(data, Charset.forName("UTF-8"));

Nice job! Thanks for working through this on your own.

I don't think it's a good idea to merge this until we have all the code setup on the serverside as well to make sure both apps always work together on the same release and so we can test the code though.

Make sure to make a new branch without these commits if working on another feature at another time.

I also made some change suggestions.

Again, thanks for working this out on your own, obviously code style is a personal thing so it is hard to guess the style me and Greg like to use, but I still want to stick with one consistent style throughout the project.

Another thing to keep in mind is that we must make sure how this data is being used, because we also save "pending data" onto the phone as a string, so if this is now in base 64, we need to add the decoder when loading that back up.

Server-side done, but needs testing
