Image Upload from Android device and save/send as base64String type

Declare and initilize before OnCreate

private static int RESULT_LOAD_IMG = 1;

String imgDecodableStringPath; // file path

Inside Oncreate - Button clickevent

// Create intent to Open Image applications like Gallery,Google//Photos

Intent galleryIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,

android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);

// Start the Intent

startActivityForResult(galleryIntent, RESULT_LOAD_IMG);

OutSide Oncreate

@Override

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

      super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

            try {

                  // When an Image is picked

      if (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMG && resultCode == RESULT_OK

                              && null != data) {

                        // Get the Image from data

Uri selectedImage = data.getData();

String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };

// Get the cursor

Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,filePathColumn, null, null, null);

// Move to first row

cursor.moveToFirst();

int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);

imgDecodableStringPath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);

cursor.close();

Log.v("Path of Image file ->", imgDecodableStringPath);

String Base64DataSring = Base64.encodeToString(Utility.getBytes((BitmapFactory

Log.v("Base64DataSring String ->", Base64DataSring);

} else {
