Answer 1

Send it as a multipart / form-data request using MultipartEntitythe Android builtin class HttpClient API .

HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://example.com/uploadservlet");
MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity();
entity.addPart("fieldname", new InputStreamBody(fileContent, fileContentType, fileName));
httpPost.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse servletResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);

And then in the servlet method doPost()use Apache Commons FileUpload to extract the part.

try {
    List<FileItem> items = new ServletFileUpload(new DiskFileItemFactory()).parseRequest(request);
    for (FileItem item : items) {
        if (item.getFieldName().equals("fieldname")) {
            String fileName = FilenameUtils.getName(item.getName());
            String fileContentType = item.getContentType();
            InputStream fileContent = item.getInputStream();
            // ... (do your job here)
        }
    }
} catch (FileUploadException e) {
    throw new ServletException("Cannot parse multipart request.", e);
}
