Send/Receive images via REST

Question

I am using grizzly for java rest service and consuming these web services in an android app.

Its working fine as far as "text" data is concerned.

Now I want to load the images(from server) in my android application, using this rest service and also allow the users to update image from the device.

I have tried this code

@GET
@Path("/img3")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM)
public Response getFile()
{
    File file = new File("img/3.jpg");
    return Response.ok(file, MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM).header("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + file.getName() + "\"") // optional
            .build();
}

The code above allow me to download the file, but is it possible to display result in broswer? like this http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/images/oracle-java-logo.png

Answer 1

Solution of Part 1:

I have made the changes in my code as suggested by Shadow

@GET
@Path("/img3")
@Produces("image/jpg")
public Response getFile(@PathParam("id") String id) throws SQLException
{

    File file = new File("img/3.jpg");
    return Response.ok(file, "image/jpg").header("Inline", "filename=\"" + file.getName() + "\"")
            .build();
}

Requested image will be displayed in browser

Part 2: The code used to convert back Base64 encoded image

@POST
@Path("/upload/{primaryKey}")
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)
@Produces("image/jpg")
public String uploadImage(@FormParam("image") String image, @PathParam("primaryKey") String primaryKey) throws SQLException, FileNotFoundException
{
    String result = "false";
    FileOutputStream fos;

    fos = new FileOutputStream("img/" + primaryKey + ".jpg");

    // decode Base64 String to image
    try
    {

        byte byteArray[] = Base64.getMimeDecoder().decode(image);
        fos.write(byteArray);

        result = "true";
        fos.close();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return result;
}
