Image must be valid base64 format and file type must be .jpg format error

[Milos Gojic]

I posted this question earlier today on StackOverflow,but without answer ,and need this to be solved tonight, that's why am also posting it here...so sorry for cross posting but i am desperate :\

so basically when i try to send string to server i am getting this error.I am trying to send image ,as string, with SharedPreferences from fragment to viewModel and then send it with other data that server expect

my fragment code:

@Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null) {

            Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
            imgUriString = selectedImageUri.toString();
            try {
                bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(context.getContentResolver(), selectedImageUri);
                binding.addReceiptIB.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            SharedPref.setImagePath(bitMapToString(bitmap));
            
//            //send this encoded string to server
        //    imgUriString = selectedImageUri.toString();
//                binding.addReceiptIB.setImageURI(selectedImageUri);
            
        }
    }

public String bitMapToString(Bitmap bitmap) {
        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);
        byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();
        return Base64.encodeToString(b, Base64.DEFAULT);
    }

and in my view model i reciving and seting this image this wey:

public void onCickAddReceipt(View view) {
        model.setImage(SharedPref.getImagePath());
        callBack.onCickAddReceipt();
    }

i am getting this error.

Can you copy the stacktrace from the logcat and paste it here so we can see the full error?

Simply won't update to server. If i go to debug then i see 400 bad request and in error body i got that error, but my app doesn't crash simply wont do what is supposed to do..

[Norm Radder]

 won't update to server

What server are you talking about?  What protocol are you using to send the String to the server?

Why do you have to use the debugger to see the error message?  Can the code receive/extract the message and print it on the logcat?

I am using retrofit and okhttp...and sung a HashMap to send all data to the server..  but what is weird is that i got some base64

but getting that error

Sorry, I do not know anything about how those packages work.

It looks like the Base64 encoded representation of image got corrupted somehow.

The image metadata indicates a type of jpeg with a resolution of 720×1560 and an image file size of 2.92 kB.  There are 3987 characters in the Base64 encoding, which translates to 2990 unencoded bytes, which does match the size indicated in the header.

When I tried to view it, you can tell it is a screen cap from an Android handset, but it only partially rendered:
