Hi,

I want to upload large video file to cloudinary. I've gone through the documentation and found that iOS supports chunked upload, but I could not see same in the Android SDK. 

Currently I am using  'com.cloudinary:cloudinary-android:2.0.0' and I could not find "uploadLarge" method in MediaManager class

 MediaManager.get().upload(imageFile.path)

I would like to know how can I upload large files from Android SDK, Also where can I check max file limit in the account settings, and how can we increase it.

Thanks

  Hi,

  There is a `uploadLarge` method for Android which is similar to the Java upload Large. You can see a test sample here: https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary_android/blob/52f612044c85256babe5a579d629d95a1d6657b1/lib/src/androidTest/java/com/cloudinary/android/UploaderTest.java#L415
  Make sure to pass resource_type=video when testing it on a video.

  The following code is an example of a way to upload a video in chunks:

  public String uploadVideoCloudinary(
  @NotNull RecordingUpload recordingUpload,
  @NotNull String objectKey
  ) {
  return MediaManager.get().upload(recordingUpload.getRecordFilename())
  .policy(new UploadPolicy.Builder()
  .maxRetries(5)
  .backoffCriteria(60000, UploadPolicy.BackoffPolicy.EXPONENTIAL)
  .networkPolicy(UploadPolicy.NetworkType.ANY)
  .build())
  .option("resource_type", "video")
  .option("folder", objectKey)
  .option("public_id", String.valueOf(recordingUpload.getId()))
  .option("overwrite", true)
  .option("connect_timeout", 600000)
  .option("chunk_size", 6000000) 
  .dispatch();
  }

  Hope this helps.

  Regards,

  Tamara
