Image upload with selenium webdriver - selenium

Question

Using selenium web driver with java. I have an image upload control using which i need to upload an image. I have tried .sendKeys method by passing image path that didn't work.
I have tried robot class, first clicks the button that opens a Window (windows native window) but it didn't type the keys in the "File Name" area.
<fieldset class="fieldset-company_logo post-fieldSet">
<label for="company_logo">Opportunity image:</label>
<div class="field">
<div class="upload-button">
<button class="button">Choose File</button>
<span>No file chosen</span>
<input class="input-text" name="company_logo" id="company_logo" placeholder="" type="file">
</div>
<small class="description"> Max. file size: 2MB. Allowed file format: jpg, gif, png </small>
</div>
</fieldset>

I got the solution for my question please review below details:
Function to set data to clip board, I will user this to set image path to clip board that I will user later on model window:
public static void setClipboardData(String string) {
StringSelection stringSelection = new StringSelection(string);
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(stringSelection, null);
}
Now review these lines of code
WebElement upload_btn = driver.findElement(By.xpath(choose_file_btn_xpath));
Thread.sleep(4000);
setClipboardData(selected_image_path);
Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
Action myAction = builder.click(upload_btn).release().build();
myAction.perform();
Robot rbt = new Robot();
rbt.delay(4000);
rbt.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
rbt.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
rbt.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
rbt.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
rbt.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
rbt.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
rbt.delay(4000);
driver.findElement(By.xpath(submit_button_xpath)).click();
Thanks for your help and support.

Glad to hear that you found a way for uploading image. Just to share with you another way of doing this. At instance, if in single go you need to upload all images/files (one or more) sitting in a folder, you can use this script:
#Test
public void Upload() throws InterruptedException
{
File images = new File("*path where all images are saved*");
File[] eimages = images.listFiles();
String imageList = "";
for(int i = 0; i < eimages.length; i++){
imageList += (i != 0 ?"\n":"") + eimages[i].getAbsolutePath();
}
driver.findElement(By.id("fileupload")).sendKeys(fishList);
Thread.sleep(5000);
System.out.println("Images Uploaded");
}
