As per Skydrive api(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/live/hh826531.aspx#uploading_files), I am passing the content of the image in byte[] in the body of the post request. the file creation happens on the skydrive server, but when i open it in skydrive it says "the file appers to be damaged or corrupted".
body of the post request
--A300x Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="menu-icon.png" Content-Type: application/octet-stream
[B@11f3043
--A300x--
the response from the server.

code for converting the image into byte[]
byte[] image=FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(physicalfile);
Any clue?
EDIT: Following is the code snippet I use
I'm taking some parts from properties file.
env.properties
part1=--A300x\u000d\u000aContent-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"
part2=\"\u000d\u000aContent-Type: application/octet-stream\u000d\u000a\u000d\u000a
part3=\u000d\u000a--A300x--
java file
String part1=bundle.getString("part1");
String part2= fileName+bundle.getString("part2");
String part3=bundle.getString("part3");
byte[] imageByteArray=FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(physicalfile);
PostMethod postMethod= new PostMethod("https://apis.live.net/v5.0/"+folderPath+"/files?state="+getSkydriveClientId()+"&redirect_uri="+baseURL+"&access_token="+getAcessToken());
postMethod.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","multipart/form-data; boundary=A300x");
postMethod.setRequestBody(part1+part2+imageByteArray+part3);
HttpClient httpClient=new HttpClient();
httpClient.executeMethod(postMethod);
