Q: Android Retrofit 2 file upload is not working I want to develop an app which is upload any type of file to sever. I got source code. But it is working only for images. And only upload below 2 MB size of image files. I want to upload all type of files. Please help me. My codes are shown below.
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Service service;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_upload);

    HttpLoggingInterceptor interceptor = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
    interceptor.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);
    OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder().addInterceptor(interceptor).build();

    // Change base URL to your upload server URL.
    service = new Retrofit.Builder().baseUrl("http://192.168.1.4/work/filesharing/").client(client).build().create(Service.class);

    if (btn != null) {
        btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {

                String filePath1 = "/storage/emulated/0/gt.png";

                File file = new File(filePath1);

                RequestBody reqFile = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("*/*"), file);
                MultipartBody.Part body = MultipartBody.Part.createFormData("uploaded_file", file.getName(), reqFile);
                RequestBody name = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("text/plain"), "upload_test");

                retrofit2.Call<okhttp3.ResponseBody> req = service.postImage(body, name);
                req.enqueue(new Callback<ResponseBody>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(Call<ResponseBody> call, Response<ResponseBody> response) { }

                    @Override
                    public void onFailure(Call<ResponseBody> call, Throwable t) {
                        t.printStackTrace();

                        Log.d("failure", "message = " + t.getMessage());
                        Log.d("failure", "cause = " + t.getCause());
                    }
                });

            }
        });
    }
}

}

A: I had the same problem uploading large images or videos. The main problem is you're using body level in HttpLoggingInterceptor, and logger is printing your file in logcat triggering a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError exception.
If you don't want to disable the body level loggin you can add this code to avoid loggin to print big large files content. I created my own HttpLoggingInterceptor and add an if condition to skip body loggin in case of content-length > 10Ks.
HttpLoggingInterceptor is a final class, so you can't override it. You can make a copy of HttpLoggingInterceptor file and replace this original code:
if (!logBody || !hasRequestBody) {
            logger.log("--> END " + request.method());
        } else if (bodyEncoded(request.headers())) {
            logger.log("--> END " + request.method() + " (encoded body omitted)");
        } else {
            Buffer buffer = new Buffer();
            requestBody.writeTo(buffer);
            //[...]

with this code:
if (!logBody || !hasRequestBody) {
            logger.log("--> END " + request.method());
        } else if (bodyEncoded(request.headers())) {
            logger.log("--> END " + request.method() + " (encoded body omitted)");
        } else if (requestBody.contentLength()>1024 * 10) { //>10Kb
            logger.log("--> END " + request.method() + " (contentLength > 10Kb --> omitted)");
        } else {
            Buffer buffer = new Buffer();
            requestBody.writeTo(buffer);
            //[...]

I hope this can help anyone. And sorry for my English ;).

A: Please reduce the logging level or remove it all together
Have a look at JakeWharton reply on this link https://github.com/square/retrofit/issues/540
"By calling .setLogLevel(RestAdapter.LogLevel.FULL) you are forcing Retrofit to buffer the entire request body into memory so that it can log. That's what the call to readBodyToBytesIfNecessary in the stack trace is doing.
Enabling logging like this should only be done when debugging."

A: Its related to this issue https://github.com/square/retrofit/issues/540
. You can disable your interceptor Level.BODY.
It can be working for all type files, did you tried with other type files?

A: You can refer from here too https://futurestud.io/tutorials/retrofit-2-how-to-upload-files-to-server it will help upload the files

A: I got the answer. It is the problem in xampp server. Now i can send large files. I got the answer from this link
How to Increase Import Size Limit in phpMyAdmin using Xampp server?
But the speed is low. Any way it's working as fine.

A: I had the same issue But I found There is no issue in the library. My issue is resolved.
Its Server side issue.
You Might check following point to resolve it:-

*

*Check how lengthy file can be uploaded to the server.

*Check server connection time out from the server point of view.

*Make sure you have to change the file size on Apache server also. (In my case php filesize of apache server was 5MB)

Personally I'm not convinced that there's harm being perpetrated [by zoophiles having sex with animals], but its a hard sell.
What evidence would be necessary to demonstrate that harm has been perpetrated?
What species are compatible with humans that you know of?
If so, what are the behavioral cues to indicate willingness? How about unwillingness?
I didn't address this because personally I think anyone who has sex with an animal is just disgusting. It is a kind of abuse. There is no animal on this planet that has the mental capacity or verbal ability to come up to a human being and say "fuck me". There are reasons why some of the old laws about single men owning certain farm animals are still on the books.....
I have a hard time imagining that bestiality is any worse than what goes on in meat processing plants.

Quote from: Wikipedia, The Only Trusted Source
In their 2007 survey, Gerbasi et al examined what it meant to be a furry, and in doing so proposed a topology in which to categorise different "types" of furries. The largest group, at 38% of those surveyed, they described as being interested in furry fandom predominately as a "route to socializing with others who share common interests such as anthropomorphic art and costumes."[10] However they also identified furries who saw themselves as "other than human", and/or who desired to become more like the furry species which they identified with.[10] This distinction can be viewed in light of the findings of the larger Furry Survey, according to which a majority of furries consider themselves to be predominantly human, while about 6% do not consider themselves human at all.[11]
Differing approaches to sexuality have been a source of controversy and conflict in furry fandom.[citation needed] Examples of sexual aspects within furry fandom include erotic art and furry-themed cybersex.[43][44] The term "yiff" is most commonly used to indicate sexual activity or sexual material within the fandom—this applies to sexual activity and interaction within the subculture whether online (in the form of cybersex) or offline.[45][46] Many members of the furry community feel that the overly sexual component gives the rest of them a bad name, and may use the derogatory term "furvert" to describe such people. (See the following section for more details.)
The majority of furries report a non-judgmental attitude towards certain aspects of sexuality and a high tolerance for variety in sexual orientation and activity. 19-25% of the fandom members report homosexuality, 37-48% bisexuality, and 3-8% other forms of alternative sexual relationships. About 2% state an interest in zoophilia, and less than 1% an interest in plushophilia.[47][26] About half of the furry fans are estimated to be in a relationship, with 76% of those having a relationship with another furry.[47
2%...
The Kinsey reports claim that 40–60% of rural teenagers (living on or near livestock farms) had sexual experience with an animal at some point in their lives, but some later writers consider these uncertain.[5] Anecdotally, Nancy Friday's 1973 book on female sexuality My Secret Garden comprised around 190 women's contributions; of these, some 8% volunteered a serious interest or active participation in zoosexual activity.[6]
In one study, psychiatric patients were found to have a statistically significant higher prevalence rate (55%) of reported bestiality (both actual sexual contacts — 45% — and sexual fantasy — 30%) than the control groups of medical in-patients (10%) and psychiatric staff (15%).[7] 5.3% of the men surveyed by Crépault and Couture (1980) reported sometimes fantasizing about having sexual activity with an animal during heterosexual intercourse.[8] 7.5% of 186 university students questioned in a 1982 study said they had sexually touched or had sexual intercourse with an animal.
I wonder if that counts a dog trying to hump your leg....
The common concept of animals as heterosexual and only interested in their own species, is seen as scientifically inaccurate by researchers into animal behavior. Animals are, in the main, considered as sexual opportunists by science, rather than sexually naïve. Ethologists such as Desmond Morris who study animal behavior, as well as formal studies, have consistently documented significant masturbation and homosexuality in a wide range of animals, apparently freely chosen or in the presence of the opposite gender, as well as homosexual animal couples, homosexual raising of young, and cross-species sexual advances. Haeberle (1978) states that sexual intercourse is "not so very unusual" between animals of different species as it is between humans and animals, a view with which Kinsey (1948, 1953) concurs.[43] Peter Singer reports of one such incident witnessed by Biruté Galdikas (a notable ethologist considered by many the world's foremost authority on primates):
While walking through the camp with Galdikas, my informant was suddenly seized by a large male orangutan, his intentions made obvious by his erect penis. Fighting off so powerful an animal was not an option, but Galdikas called to her companion not to be concerned, because the orangutan would not harm her, and adding, as further reassurance, that "they have a very small penis." As it happened, the orangutan lost interest before penetration took place, but the aspect of the story that struck me most forcefully was that in the eyes of someone who has lived much of her life with orangutans, to be seen by one of them as an object of sexual interest is not a cause for shock or horror. The potential violence of the orangutan's come-on may have been disturbing, but the fact that it was an orangutan making the advances was not.
Wikipedia has a well known Furry cabal (sometimes referred to as the Furluminati) who control and edit such entries as to present a favourable vision of themselves to the world.
But no seriously, I'm pretty sure the sysop on the furry related articles is a furry themself.

Would you let a furry fuck your dog?
Would you let a faggot fuck your child? Because you know, all furries fuck animals, and all faggots fuck children.

This is a month when creature features abound. Like leaves from the trees, bodies fall every night on television. As Halloween approaches, you might recall "Jeepers Creepers," the 2001 film about a devilish scarecrow-type creature with wings that terrorized a busload of high schoolers.
It turns out that Illinois had its very own legendary flying monster that sounds a little like the "Jeepers Creepers" creep. Karl Shuker's "Dragons: A Natural History" has a chapter on "Piasa, Dragon Bird of Illinois." Father Jacques Marquette beheld a hideous drawing of the creature on the side of a cliff on his way down the Mississippi River in 1673. The drawing was the work of an Indian tribe that, centuries earlier, reportedly fell victim to the winged nemesis. Legend has it that after the piasa tasted human flesh, the dragon bird became the mortal enemy of the Illini tribe, "regularly swooping down to abduct women, men and children," noted Shuker.
As legendary creatures go, the piasa was a fearsomne beast: 30 feet long and 12 feet tall with "a mighty pair of leathery wings" with a wingspan of 16 to 18 feet, the author reported. "Its entire body and all four of its legs were covered in scales and each of its feet was armed with a cluster of black, scimitarlike talons," writes Suker.
This creature had the face of a man, "albeit a grotesque parody of one," noted Shuker, citing a shrieking creature with crimson eyes, long teeth and "a beard of stiff bristles sprouted from its chin." Doesn't sound good, does it?
The Indians defeated the monster, according to the legend, luring it to ground and then assaulting it with arrows, knives and tomahawks.
Those cliff petroglyphs that Marquette spied on his travels in the 17th century fell into the river in 1856, said Shuker, removing the last traces of the state's flying monster from view.
The legendary piasa is not exactly like the "Jeepers Creepers" monster but they both represent bad news for you unwary travelers. We've had state birds, state songs and so forth. Maybe it's time for a state monster. It might be hard to beat the dragon bird of Illinois.
(laughter) Do you suppose that one reason the legend isn't more well-known is because ' Piasa ' sounds too much like some sort of ethnic dish to be feared?
I was born in Alton, IL and have always had family in that area. Many of my summers were spent visiting my grandparents in Grafton. After the Great River Road was built, it was an easier drive between the two. There was a kind of indented area where a gas station had sprung up and on the bluff wall behind it, someone had painted the Piasa Bird. I remember, as a child, being drawn to it and a little frightened by it at the same time; I always wanted to drive by it and get out to look at it whenever we were in the area. That painting was done in bluish-greens and red, at least, that's how I remember it. The gas station has since disappeared as has that Piasa Bird, presumably because of dangerous falling rock. However, a relatively new Piasa Bird has been painted on a bluff wall just above Alton on the River Road. This one has been done in much different colors, mostly shades of brown. There is a parking area where one can pull in to view the attraction. I still like to go by just to see it. The Piasa Bird is quite ingranined in the local folklore and culture and can still fascinate after all these years. I recently saw a children't book on the subject available for sale in Alton. Unfortunately I don't recall the authors name or exact title of the book.
Alton is also well-known for its Halloween parade. It's huge and is, but don't quote me on this, the longest-lived in the nation. It's always held on Halloween night, therefore, Alton allows trick-or-treating on two nights. Alton also claims some interesting haunted houses. If you're interested in that sort of thing, I think tours are available.
Here is an interesting article that includes 20th century large bird sightings. Scroll down to the bottom half of the page.

Towards an Understanding and Definition of Wilderness Spirituality
Ashley, PL, Towards an Understanding and Definition of Wilderness Spirituality, Australian Geographer, 38, (1) pp. 53-69. ISSN 0004-9182 (2007) [Refereed Article]
DOI: doi:10.1080/00049180601175865
There is an increasing body of Western literature lamenting the loss of spiritual relationships and connection with the Earth, and numerous studies of wilderness spirituality. But what is wilderness spirituality? Do expert perceptions differ from public views of the meaning of the term? This paper explores these questions. Despite spirituality being an abstract topic, and spiritual values hard to define and measure, numerous authors have suggested definitions of nature-based and wilderness spirituality. A content analysis of a random sample of the general population in a preliminary study in Tasmania on wilderness spirituality meanings was compared to definitions supplied by experts on the topic. Strong commonalities between the two groups were the citation of words expressing connection and interrelationship, portrayals of transcending the self, and the quality of compassion. Weak commonalties were terms such as 'peace' and 'harmony', 'respect', 'joy', 'elation', 'happiness', 'sacredness' and 'reverence'. Disparate elements were found to be a sense of awe and wonder, religiosity, humbleness, and altered states of consciousness. The defining characteristics of wilderness spirituality were found to be a feeling of connection and interrelationship with other people and nature; a heightened sense of awareness and elevated consciousness beyond the everyday and corporeal world; and cognitive and affective dimensions of human understandings embracing peace, tranquillity, harmony, happiness, awe, wonder, and humility. A religious meaning and explanation may be present.

When there are discrepancies between the physical boundary and the title boundary of a property, disputes often arise between parties about who has the right to own the contested land. This can have significant financial repercussions, necessitating the submission of an adverse possession claim to reach a lawful conclusion and achieve an equitable outcome.
At Stacey Surveying, we can provide advice and even connect you with experienced adverse possession solicitors. We understand that clarifying discrepancies between physical and title boundaries can be confusing and complicated, but you can rely on us to guide you through the process. Whether you want to obtain or retain ownership depending on your situation, we can help you to resolve the issue lawfully and fairly. We also employ a licensed land surveyor who can assist with all your surveying needs.
There are various situations that can cause physical and title boundaries to differ. This includes fences being built in the wrong place, miscalculated surveys leading to mistakes on the title, subdivision mistakes where part of the land was never sold, and unsold land that has been overlooked. These boundaries need to be cross-checked and verified in order to correct the disputed discrepancies.
Our adverse possession services involve looking over records such as plans of subdivision, plans of consolidation, and title plans. We conduct surveys to ensure fencing and other things are where they should be. We can also assist you with attempts to obtain ownership of land if you can prove that you have had exclusive possession of the contested area for at least 15 years.
At Stacey Surveying, we can provide you with useful advice as well as connecting you with leading adverse possession lawyers in Melbourne. Get in touch with our friendly team today to learn more about our services and book a free consultation.

The three saw a need for high-end executive transportation, event planning, and lifestyle services, and had the perfect fleet of vehicles, employees and connections to step into that role.


The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is considering new ways to monitor greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation projects. If successful, such climate-focused mandates could be used as a pretext to delay or discourage transportation construction at a time when America desperately needs to repair and build transportation infrastructure.
The proposal surfaced this week in an advance copy of FHWA's forthcoming Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), due for release April 22. Performance management regulations on a variety of areas include freight movement and the congestion mitigation air quality (CMAQ) program are required by the 2013 "Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century" (MAP-21) reauthorization law.
FHWA will begin seeking comment on "whether or how to establish a CO2 emissions measure" for transportation projects in the final version of the rule. Additionally, FHWA is exploring which emissions to monitor if a GHG tracking measure is established, such as from road vehicles, construction equipment, or both. Establishing a GHG tracking system raises the possibility of specific emissions targets for states to include in long-range transportation plans and could be tied to federal transportation funding.
"The authors of MAP-21 had the opportunity to include a host of external goals such as livability, reduction of transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions, reduction of reliance on foreign oil, adaptation to the effects of climate change, public health, housing, land-use patterns and air quality in the planning and performance process. Instead, Section 1203 of MAP-21 listed only one goal—environmental sustainability—that is not directly related to physical conditions and operational performance of the National Highway System. The same is true for the metropolitan and statewide planning processes laid out in Sections 1201-1202.
This is hardly the only regulation the Obama Administration is trying to push through during its final months in office. As ARTBA has reported, new rules on worker silica exposure, employee salary records, and expanding government oversight of water quality have also caused recent concern.
The final version of the NPRM will be followed by a 90-day comment period. ARTBA will study the NPRM carefully and prepare detailed comments. Please contact me with any questions at ngoldstein@artba.org.

North Korea says leader Kim Jong Un oversaw a successful flight test of a hypersonic missile he claimed would remarkably increase the country's nuclear "war deterrent".
The report by North Korean state media on Wednesday came a day after the militaries of the United States, South Korea and Japan said they detected North Korea firing a suspected ballistic missile into its eastern sea.
The Korean Central News Agency said Tuesday's launch involved a hypersonic glide vehicle, which after its release from the rocket booster demonstrated "glide jump flight" and "corkscrew maneuvering" before hitting a sea target 1000 kilometres (621 miles) away.

Photos released by the agency showed a missile mounted with a pointed cone-shaped payload soaring into the sky while leaving a trail of orange flames and Kim watching from a small cabin with top officials, including his sister Kim Yo Jong.
The launch was North Korea's second test of its purported hypersonic missile in a week, a type of weaponry it first tested in September, as Kim Jong Un continues a defiant push to expand his nuclear weapons capabilities in the face of international sanctions, pandemic-related difficulties, and deadlocked diplomacy with the United States.
The North has been ramping up its testing activity since last fall in what experts see as an attempt to apply more pressure on rivals Washington and Seoul to accept it as a nuclear power in hopes of winning relief from economic sanctions.
It was the first time since March 2020 that North Korean state media reported Kim's attendance at a missile test, according to South Korea's Unification Ministry, which handles inter-Korean affairs.

The KCNA said Kim praised the accomplishments made by his military scientists and officials involved in developing the hypersonic missile system, which he described as the most significant part of a new five-year plan announced in early 2021 to build up the North's military force.
The North has described the new missile as part of its "strategic" weaponry, implying that the system is being developed to deliver nuclear weapons.
"The superior maneuverability of the hypersonic glide vehicle was more strikingly verified through the final test-fire," KCNA said.

It said Kim stressed the need to speed up the expansion of the country's "strategic military muscle both in quality and quantity and further modernise the army" and encouraged military scientists to continue their success in "remarkably increasing the war deterrent of the country".
Hypersonic weapons, which fly at speeds in excess of Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound, could pose a crucial challenge to missile defence systems because of their speed and maneuverability. Such weapons were on a wish-list of sophisticated military assets Kim unveiled early last year along with multi-warhead missiles, spy satellites, solid-fuel long-range missiles and submarine-launched nuclear missiles.
Kim Jong-un's dramatic weight loss sparks theories
Experts say North Korea needs more successful and longer-range tests that would take years before acquiring a credible hypersonic system.
Kim's attendance at Tuesday's test and state media's description of the event as a "final test-fire" could indicate that North Korea is pushing to deploy the weapon relatively soon.
But it's more likely that the North will continue testing to increase the system's range, stability and accuracy, said Kim Dong-yub, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul.
US State Department spokesman Ned Price said Washington condemns the North's latest launch, which violates multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions and poses a threat to neighbours and to the broader international community.
The US Indo-Pacific Command said the launch highlighted the "destabilising impact of (North Korea's) illicit weapons program" but didn't pose an immediate threat to US territory or its allies.

"We continue to call on the DPRK to refrain from further provocations and, importantly, to engage in sustained and substantive dialogue," Price said, using an abbreviation of North Korea's formal name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Minutes after Tuesday's launch, airports across the western United States halted flights for a short time without explanation.
A spokeswoman for San Diego International Airport referred questions to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA acknowledged the "ground stop" in a tweet, without offering a reason why it issued the order.
"Full operations resumed in less than 15 minutes," the FAA said.
"The FAA regularly takes precautionary measures. We are reviewing the process around this ground stop as we do after all such events."
A look inside life in North Korea
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff had said the North Korean missile flew 700 kilometres at a maximum speed of around Mach 10 before landing in waters off the North's eastern coast.
South Korea's Defense Ministry had played down North Korea's earlier test on January 5, insisting that the North exaggerated its capabilities after testing a conventional ballistic missile and expressing doubt that the North had acquired the technologies needed for hypersonic weapons.
Following Tuesday's launch, the Joint Chief of Staff said in a statement that the North demonstrated more advanced capability compared to its previous test, but didn't elaborate further.
Kim Jong Un entered the new year renewing his vow to bolster his military forces, even as the nation grapples with pandemic-related difficulties that have further strained its economy, crippled by US-led sanctions over its nuclear program.

The economic setbacks have left Kim with little to show for his diplomacy with former U.S. President Donald Trump, which derailed after their second meeting in 2019 when the Americans rejected North Korea's demand for major sanctions relief in exchange for a partial surrender of its nuclear capabilities.
The Biden administration, whose policies have reflected a broader shift in US focus from counterterrorism and so-called rogue states like North Korea and Iran to confronting a near-peer adversary in China, has said it's willing to resume talks with North Korea at any time without preconditions.
But North Korea has so far rejected the idea of open-ended talks, saying the US must first withdraw its "hostile policy", a term Pyongyang mainly uses to describe the sanctions and joint US-South Korea military drills.
