How can I convert an image into a Base64 string?

by

You can use the Base64 Android class:

String encodedImage = Base64.encodeToString(byteArrayImage, Base64.DEFAULT);

You’ll have to convert your image into a byte array though. Here’s an example:

Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("/path/to/image.jpg");
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos); // bm is the bitmap object
byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();

* Update *

If you’re using an older SDK library (because you want it to work on phones with older versions of the OS) you won’t have the Base64 class packaged in (since it just came out in API level 8 AKA version 2.2).
