Android library: Upload Raw files.

[coomar2841]

How do I upload a raw file to cloudinary using the android SDK? If I use the upload method, which works for images, it saves the file as an image(for a video).

I tried the uploadLargeRaw method, but getting errors.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Missing required parameter - file

Based on your error stack, it looks like you are using older code. Please refresh your code (version as of writing is 1.2.0), and try again.

If you are still experiencing this error, please include the relevant segment of your code together with the error stack.

Ok, I tried 1.2.0, and while trying to upload a mp4 video file, got this error.
This is with upload method.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid image file

Cloudinary cloudinary = new Cloudinary(ObjectUtils.asMap(
                "cloud_name", "XXXX",
                "api_key", "XXXX",
                "api_secret", "XXXX"));
File toUpload = new File("path to file.mp4");
uploadResult = cloudinary.uploader().upload(toUpload, options);
remoteUrl = uploadResult.get("url").toString();

Also, I get the same error, when I try to upload some random files like mp3, or xls. PDF works though, with this same code, after which I thought I should try with the upload method.

With uploadLargeRaw, it works now for videos. But, the returned url doesn't have the file extension. And, also, there is no preview image. Is there a way that I can upload a video, and also get a generated preview of the same, as it is done for PDF files?

What values did you pass in the options variable?
Please make sure to you include the following value:

options.put("resource_type", "video");

As for the returned url, it doesn't require an extension - it works as is. However if you wish to specify the format, you can add an extension ('mp4', 'ogv', or 'webm') and the video will convert to that format. Adding an image extension 'jpg' or 'png' will return an image ("thumbnail") of the video. Adding 'gif' to the url will produce an animated GIF from the movie.

To checkout more options, see the Video management documentation.

@tocker Thanks for you response. This works, after I followed the new announcement on the website, and tried it out. I will close this issue now.

File file = new File(filePath);
JSONObject cloudinaryResult = new JSONObject(cloudinary.uploader().upload(file, ObjectUtils.asMap("resource_type", "image")));
