Upload Image with Dropbox API

I am not able to upload the image file content in a correct way.

 

the file is uploaded but content is corrupted..

 

Here is my code

 

 

OrderedHashJava headers = this.getCustomHeader(this.getAccessToken());
headers.put(HEADERS.DROPBOX_API_SELECT_USER,u.getDropboxTeamMemeberID());
headers.put(HEADERS.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/octet-stream");
headers.put(HEADERS.DROPBOX_API_ARGUMENT, requestBody);

 
byte[] bytes = this.getFileContent(file.getId());

rtn = GeneralUtil.sendHttpPostRequestByteBody(uploadURL, "", "", bytes, headers);

 

 

i am passing bytes and the file is uploaded but content is corrupt in that image file why????

 

 

The Api Says we have to send data in this manner

 

    --header "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
    --header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\": \"/cupcake.png\", \"mode\": \"overwrite\"}" \
    --data-binary LOCAL-file.png
 
what is LOCAL-file.png
how to create data-binary as i am sending through bytes

 

 

can anybody give me solutions .

it is urgent
