Large File Uploads about android-upload-service

[alexbbb]

How large are the files you are trying to upload?

[derekentringer]

The one that I am testing with right now is 368MB.

Something helpful that I have found and am testing right now is using the setFixedLengthStreamingMode on the httpUrlConnection.

http://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html

More info...
To upload data to a web server, configure the connection for output using setDoOutput(true).
For best performance, you should call either setFixedLengthStreamingMode(int) when the body length is known in advance, or setChunkedStreamingMode(int) when it is not. Otherwise HttpURLConnection will be forced to buffer the complete request body in memory before it is transmitted, wasting (and possibly exhausting) heap and increasing latency.

Great feedback! So, please try the following temporary patch. If it works I'm going to integrate it in the trunk.
Open UploadService.java and paste the following statement:

conn.setFixedLengthStreamingMode(getTotalBytes(filesToUpload));

right after:

setRequestParameters(requestStream, requestParameters, boundaryBytes);

after that clean and build the library, test it again and tell me if it works for you.

[derekentringer]

Works :) No more out of memory errors. Thanks for the quick turnaround. Again, great library.

I've read the docs more carefully, and I think the best would be to use

conn.setChunkedStreamingMode(0);

This way there's not the 2GB upload size limit and the best buffer length will be automatically set.

[derekentringer]

Can confirm that setChunkedStreamingMode(0) also worked well.

Thank you @derekentringer for reporting the issue and for testing the solution, that I just committed: f51a585

Update your working copy and you're good to go ;)
