Android Imaging

Question

I saw your name on web as an android specialist and am looking for some guidance which cannot be taken from android developer lists. I am developing an application based on android.It needs to send multiple images to the server.

I can send multiple emails each having a single image attachment.Can we send multiple images in a single email attachment? i.e(as a zip file or attaching many images)

or

Is there a way to append all images to a single image and send a single email with 1 image attachment?

or

Any other way to send multiple images ??

Answer 1

Can we send multiple images in a single email attachment? i.e(as a zip file or attaching many images)

Sure, if you create the ZIP file.

Is there a way to append all images to a single image and send a single email with 1 image attachment?

Sure, if you find an image processing JAR that works on Android, will not take excessively long to stitch together your pictures, and has a license that you are amenable to. In other words, use the ZIP file.

Any other way to send multiple images ??

Send multiple emails. Or, find yourself an SMTP JAR and send the emails that way. Or, upload the pictures to a Web service, and have it send the emails.

Hi mark

1.We tried sending the zip file.In the email application it showed zip file is attahced But when the email was sent attachment was missing.We use the applicayion/zip mime type.

2.We can find image processing jar for sure.But when adding to the android vm sometimes jar files are not recognised.Its asking to use --core-library function

3.We are doing sending multiple emails for now.

We tried apache commons mail api,java mail api both.But external jars were not allowed at the deployment.Those were rejected saying --core-library compilation was needed.

Uploading can be done but the client does not need it.
