I need send my image file to API in PHP. The parameter in form-data is "picture". How I do it with you example?

Which parameters in Header I need put?

You have an example utilizing this class?

Help me.

I have tried above code as it is but It will crash when I use compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.5.2' and getting null pointer exception with compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.3.6'.

RequestFuture future = RequestFuture.newFuture();
File file = new File(userQuery.getFilePath());

    PhotoMultipartRequest imageUploadReq = new PhotoMultipartRequest(url, future, errorListener, file);

    Directory.getInstance().addToRequestQueue(imageUploadReq,
            SV.TAG_UPLOAD_PROFILE_IMAGE);
    try {
        return future.get(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        errorListener.onErrorResponse(new VolleyError(e));
    }
