define the server and image path URL to the Webservicehelper's public class


Webservicehelper.JAVA

public static final String UPLOADIMAGE = SERVER_NAME
+ "/smadws/uploadimages.aspx?pid="; 


(the url is based in the wbservice provided)

NOTE : the above method is to update the image by passing the the users key, For normal update please avoid the data passed through Bundle values in the above java code, "ie: cKey"
