How to convert video to base64 data

Question

I have an app that take video from camera or gallery and convert it into base64 data and that data send to server but the problem is whenever I convert base64 data it will be not correct data in videodata variable. for this I used below code :

FileInputStream objFileIS = null;
try
{
    System.out.println("file = >>>> <<<<<" + selectedImagePath);
    objFileIS = new FileInputStream(selectedImagePath);
} 
catch (FileNotFoundException e) 
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}
ByteArrayOutputStream objByteArrayOS = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] byteBufferString = new byte[1024];
try
{
    for (int readNum; (readNum = objFileIS.read(byteBufferString)) != -1;) 
    {
        objByteArrayOS.write(byteBufferString, 0, readNum);
        System.out.println("read " + readNum + " bytes,");
    }
} 
catch (IOException e)
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}                    

videodata = Base64.encodeToString(byteBufferString, Base64.DEFAULT);
Log.d("VideoData**>  " , videodata);

Please make it correct...

When you encode the byteBufferString, you are encoding only the last chunk of data read. You should encode the whole contents of the ByteArrayOutputStream. You can do this with the following code:

videodata = Base64.encodeToString(objByteArrayOS.toByteArray(), Base64.DEFAULT);

However, there is a chance that this may throw an OutOfMemoryError if the video size is big.
