send array of images with AFNetworkin ios - ios

I have an example, where I send image and parameters to server. But I need to send NSArray of images.How can I do this?
NSData *imageToUpload = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(uploadedImgView.image, 1.0);//(uploadedImgView.image);
if (imageToUpload)
{
NSDictionary *parameters = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:keyParameter, #"keyName", nil];
AFHTTPClient *client= [AFHTTPClient clientWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://------"]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [client multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:#"API name as you have" parameters:parameters constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData: imageToUpload name:#"image" fileName:#"temp.jpeg" mimeType:#"image/jpeg"];
}];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject)
{
NSDictionary *jsons = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseObject options:kNilOptions error:nil];
//NSLog(#"response: %#",jsons);
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error)
{
if([operation.response statusCode] == 403)
{
//NSLog(#"Upload Failed");
return;
}
//NSLog(#"error: %#", [operation error]);
}];
[operation start];
}
Help me, please!

I found an answer, I changed my code to this:
[formData appendPartWithFileData:data name:#"Photos[1]" fileName:#"avatar.jpg" mimeType:#"image/jpeg"];
[formData appendPartWithFileData:data name:#"Photos[2]" fileName:#"avatar.jpg" mimeType:#"image/jpeg"];
and server understand it as array

You can try this,
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#URL_BASE];
int count = [imageArray count];
for(int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
{
UIImage* image = [imageArray objectAtIndex:i];
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:url];
NSDictionary* params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSNumber numberWithFloat: image.size.width], #"width",
[NSNumber numberWithFloat: image.size.height], #"height",
nil];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:#PATH_ALBUM_IMAGE_UPLOAD parameters:params constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"file%d", i] fileName:#"avatar.jpg" mimeyTpe:#"image/jpeg"];
}];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[operation setUploadProgressBlock:^(NSInteger bytesWritten, long long totalBytesWritten, long long totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
[progressView setProgress: totalBytesWritten*1.0f / totalBytesExpectedToWrite animated: YES];
NSLog(#"Sent %lld of %lld bytes", totalBytesWritten, totalBytesExpectedToWrite);
if(totalBytesWritten >= totalBytesExpectedToWrite)
{
progressView.hidden = YES;
}
}];
[operation start];
}

How to add header in Multipart Form data request iOS?

Following is my code snippet. I am getting an error while runnning this code. I have added headers as part of the request. Is that the correct way ?
__block int i=1;
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
NSDictionary *parameters = #{#"wave_Id": [inputDictionary objectForKey:#"wave_Id"]};
AFHTTPRequestOperation *op = [manager POST:url parameters:parameters constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
for(NSData *imageData in [inputDictionary objectForKey:#"images"])
{
[formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"file%d",i] fileName:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"abc%d.png",i] mimeType:#"image/png"];
i++;
}
NSError *error;
NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:parameters options:0 error:&error];
NSAssert(jsonData, #"Failure building JSON: %#", error);
NSLog(#"Json Data Image Upload %#",jsonData);
NSAssert(jsonData, #"Failure building JSON: %#", error);
NSString *token = [SSKeychain passwordForService:RegistrationTokenKey account:LoggedInUserKey];
NSDictionary *jsonHeaders = #{#"Content-Disposition" : #"form-data; name=\"parameters\"",
#"Content-Type" : #"application/json",
#"Accept" : #"application/json",
#"Authorization" : token};
[formData appendPartWithHeaders:jsonHeaders body:jsonData];
} success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"Success: %# ***** %#", operation.responseString, responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %# ***** %#", operation.responseString, error);
}];
[op start];
I need your complete method to be 100% sure, but please try writing this way and see if it helps:
__block int i = 1;
NSMutableArray *mutableOperations = [NSMutableArray array];
NSDictionary *parameters = #{#"wave_Id": [inputDictionary objectForKey:#"wave_Id"]};
for (NSData *imageData in [inputDictionary objectForKey:#"images"]) {
NSURLRequest *request = [[AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer] multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST"
URLString:url
parameters:parameters
constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData
name:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"file%d",i]
fileName:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"abc%d.png",i]
mimeType:#"image/png"];
i++;
}
error:nil];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[mutableOperations addObject:operation];
}
NSArray *operations = [AFURLConnectionOperation batchOfRequestOperations:mutableOperations progressBlock:^(NSUInteger numberOfFinishedOperations, NSUInteger totalNumberOfOperations) {
NSLog(#"%lu of %lu images uploaded!", numberOfFinishedOperations, totalNumberOfOperations);
} completionBlock:^(NSArray *operations) {
NSLog(#"All images have been uploade!");
}];
[[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperations:operations waitUntilFinished:NO];
Actually I modified the same code and its working now. Changed the "Content-Type" to "multipart/form-data".
Also added the key (parameter name) for my imagesArray in the API request to the following method
"formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:#"yourKey"..."
if (_isUploadImage) {
__block int i=1;
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:#"multipart/form-data" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept"];
if (_shouldBeInHeader) {
NSString *token = [SSKeychain passwordForService:RegistrationTokenKey account:LoggedInUserKey];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Token %#",token] forHTTPHeaderField:#"Authorization"];
}
NSDictionary *parameters = #{#"wave_id": [inputDictionary objectForKey:#"wave_id"]};
AFHTTPRequestOperation *op = [manager POST:url parameters:parameters constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
for (NSData *imageData in [inputDictionary objectForKey:#"images"])
{
[formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"images"] fileName:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"abc%d.png",i] mimeType:#"image/png"];
i++;
}
} success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"Success");
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Failed");
}];
[op start];
}

Can not upload video with multi part POST in AFNETWORKING on iOS

I tried below code to upload video with Multi part form POST in AFnetworking but when uploading, video sent about 80% is broken. This is my code:
-(void) uploadVideoAPI: (NSString*) emailStr andSumOfFiles: (NSString*) sumSizeFile andVideoNams:(NSMutableArray*) videoNameArr andUpFile :(NSMutableArray *) videoDataArray
{
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://myserver.com];
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL: url] ;
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:nil parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFormData:[emailStr dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]
name:#"emailStr"]; //parametters1
[formData appendPartWithFormData:[sumSizeFile dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] name:#"sumSizeFile"];//parametters 2
for(int i=0;i<[videoDataArray count];i++)
{
NSString * videoName = [videoNameArr objectAtIndex:i];
NSData *videoData = [videoDataArray objectAtIndex:i];
[formData appendPartWithFileData:videoData
name:#"videos"
fileName:videoName mimeType:#"video/quicktime"];
}
}];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[operation setUploadProgressBlock:^(NSUInteger bytesWritten, long long totalBytesWritten, long long totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
NSLog(#"Sent %lld of %lld bytes", totalBytesWritten, totalBytesExpectedToWrite);
}];
[httpClient enqueueHTTPRequestOperation:operation];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"Upload Complete");
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"error: %#", operation.responseString);
NSLog(#"%#",error);
}];
[operation start];
}
My code has any problem? Please give me some advice. thanks in advance
I suggest you to use appendPartWithFileURL instead of appendPartWithFormData for files, to avoid memory problems (imagine big data like video or compressed data files).
I use something like this:
// Create request
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:nil parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
// Important!! : file path MUST BE real file path (so -> "file://localhost/.../../file.txt") so i use [NSURL fileURLWithPath:]
NSError* err;
[formData appendPartWithFileURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePathToUpload] name:[fileInfo objectForKey:#"fileName"] error:&err];
}];

AFnetworking is not uploading image to server

Hello i am new to afnetworking, i want to upload image at server path from ios sdk. below is code for afnetworking,
NSData *imageToUpload = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(selectedImageView.image, 90);
AFHTTPClient *client= [AFHTTPClient clientWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://192.168.0.100//smart_attendance/api/employeeImage.php"]];

NSLog(#"response: [%#]",response);
// [MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:self.view animated:YES];
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
//[MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:self.view animated:YES];
if([operation.response statusCode] == 403){
NSLog(#"Upload Failed");
return;
}
NSLog(#"error: %#", [operation error]);

[operation start];
SERVER RESPONSE IS

Try out this for url.
NSString *imgUrl=[imageURLString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:imgUrl];
Also your path string is not proper i guess.
Hope that helps.
welll i am using this way and its working fine.

AFNetworking combine data and image to send to PHP

I am (finally) using afnetworking for my iOS project. I have managed with success to send POST data and an image to my php server, but in separated blocks of code.
Send Data:
NSDictionary *parameters = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:myname,#"name", mysencondname, #"twoname", nil];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://DOMAIN.COM"];
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:url];
[httpClient defaultValueForHeader:#"Accept"];
[httpClient postPath:#"post.php" parameters:parameters
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id response) {
NSLog(#"operation hasAcceptableStatusCode: %d", [operation.response statusCode]);
[self requestDone:[operation.response statusCode]];
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error with request");
NSLog(#"%#",[error localizedDescription]);
[self requestFailed];
}];
Send Image:
NSData *imageToUpload = UIImagePNGRepresentation(_imageView.image);
AFHTTPClient *client= [AFHTTPClient clientWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.DOMAIN.com"]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [client multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:#"upload.php" parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData: imageToUpload name:#"avatar" fileName:fullFilename mimeType:#"image/png"];
}];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSString *response = [operation responseString];
NSLog(#"response: [%#]",response);
[MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:self.view animated:YES];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
if([operation.response statusCode] == 403){
NSLog(#"Upload Failed");
[MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:self.view animated:YES];
return;
}
NSLog(#"error: %#", [operation error]);
}];
My question is how can I combine them so I can send an image and some data like (myname, #"name", mysencondname, #"twoname") to my server with a single request ?
Inside the multipartFormRequestWithMethod method there is parameter called parameters that you can use to send some data along.
For example:
NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
myName, #"name"
, secondName, #"twoname"
, nil];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [client multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:#"upload.php" parameters:params constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData: imageToUpload name:#"avatar" fileName:fullFilename mimeType:#"image/png"];
}];

send image along with other parameters with AFNetworking

I am updating an old application code which used ASIHTTPRequest with AFNetworking. In my case, I am sending a bench of data to API, these data are different types: Image and other.
Here is the code I adopt so far, implementing an API client, requesting a shared instance, prepare the params dictionary and send it to remote API:
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[params setValue:#"Some value" forKey:aKey];
[[APIClient sharedInstance]
postPath:#"/post"
parameters:params success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
//some logic
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
//handle error
}];
What would be the case when I want to add an image to the params dictionary?
With ASIHTTPRequest, I used to do the following:
NSData *imgData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(anImage);
NSString *newStr = [anImageName stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"/"
withString:#"_"];
[request addData:imgData
withFileName:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.png",newStr]
andContentType:#"image/png"
forKey:anOtherKey];
I digged into AFNetworking documentation and found they appending the image in an NSMutableRequest like this:
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:url];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation([UIImage imageNamed:#"avatar.jpg"], 0.5);
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:#"/upload" parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:#"avatar" fileName:#"avatar.jpg" mimeType:#"image/jpeg"];
}];
How should I mix this together on a neat way to integrate my image data into the APIClient request? Thanx in advance.
I have used same AFNetworking to upload image with some parameter. This code is fine working for me. May be it will help out
NSData *imageToUpload = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(uploadedImgView.image, 1.0);//(uploadedImgView.image);
if (imageToUpload)
{
NSDictionary *parameters = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:keyParameter, #"keyName", nil];
AFHTTPClient *client= [AFHTTPClient clientWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://------"]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [client multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:#"API name as you have" parameters:parameters constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData: imageToUpload name:#"image" fileName:#"temp.jpeg" mimeType:#"image/jpeg"];
}];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject)
{
NSDictionary *jsons = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseObject options:kNilOptions error:nil];
//NSLog(#"response: %#",jsons);
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error)
{
if([operation.response statusCode] == 403)
{
//NSLog(#"Upload Failed");
return;
}
//NSLog(#"error: %#", [operation error]);
}];
[operation start];
}
Good Luck !!
With AFNetworking 2.0.1 this code worked for me.
-(void) saveImage: (NSData *)imageData forImageName: (NSString *) imageName {
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
NSString *imagePostUrl = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/v1/image", BASE_URL];
NSDictionary *parameters = #{#"imageName": imageName};
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer] multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" URLString:imagePostUrl parameters:parameters constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:#"image" fileName:imageName mimeType:#"image/jpeg"];
}];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *op = [manager HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:request success: ^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
DLog(#"response: %#", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
DLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
op.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];
[[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperation:op];
}
If JSON response is needed use:
op.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
instead of
op.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];
