What do you mean readBytes never gets set to -1? Is the code going into an infinite loop? Or are you stepping though it in a debugger. In the later case, it would take a *very* long time for readBytes to be set to -1 because you are reading and writing one byte at a time.
I am not sure if this is the problem or not, but try using a buffer to transfer data from the input stream to the output stream: final int BUFFER_SIZE = 1024*4; // 4k buffer byte[] temp = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE]; int bytesRead; while ((bytesRead = buf.read(temp, 0, BUFFER_SIZE)) != -1) { os.write(temp, 0, bytesRead); } On Mar 18, 7:13 pm, Tejas <tej...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to read an image (taken on camera) that I need to POST to a > server. > I'm using the following code: > > <CODE> > OutputStream os = urlConn.getOutputStream(); > > ContentResolver cR = this.getContentResolver(); > InputStream is = cR.openInputStream(photoUri); > BufferedInputStream buf = new BufferedInputStream(is); > int readBytes = 0; > > while ((readBytes = buf.read()) != -1){ > os.write(readBytes); > } > > </CODE> > > But when I debug, I find that readBytes never gets a -1 (i.e eof).
