Post multipart request with Android SDK

Question

Hello all,

I'm trying to do something I thought would be relatively simple: Upload an image to a server with the Android SDK. I'm found a lot of example code:

http://linklens.blogspot.com/2009/06/android-multipart-upload.html

But neither work for me. The confusion I keep running into is what is really needed to make a multipart request. What is the simplest way to have a multipart upload (with an image) for Android?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, James

This sample should help http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3038409/how-to-send-http-post-request-and-recieve-response/3038747#3038747. It uses HttpClient to compose multipart message and upload file.
