sir,

i am using client-server method to send a .mp3 file from android mobile to server.By using following code a folder is created,that is stored in my internal storage. i am new to android.

code

Java

private String getFilePath() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub

     String filePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();
        File file = new File(filePath, "MediaRecorderSample");
        if (!file.exists())
            file.mkdirs();
        return (file.getAbsolutePath() + "/" + System.currentTimeMillis() + .mp3);
    }

The .mp3 file properties, it is showing the path as
Internal Storage/MediaRecorderSample/142324.mp3. I tried these paths
"Internal Storage/MediaRecorderSample/142324.mp3" , "/storage/emulated/0/142324.mp3", "/mnt/sdcard//MediaRecorderSample/142324.mp3 to send file.
but at the server side i am getting 0kb file.is it because of file path or some other problem.Please suggest me solution to fix this.

Thanks

The location of your file on the Android system has no relevance to where it is stored on the server. It is more likely that either your file path is incorrect, or there is a bug in your send/receive protocol. See http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/816470/Handling-Input-and-Storage-on-Android for useful information on handling storage on Android.

The protocol is working fine for image,but not for audio file.

Then you are doing something wrong. But we cannot begin to guess what that may be. You will need to use your debugger to collect more inforation on what is happening when your code runs.
