I am using the Google Drive List API on an own Android app and listing the files stored on Google Drive. When I select a Google Doc file on my own App I want to open it with the official Google Drive Android-App, how can I do this?

Thanks!

is this Google Drive Android-App created by you? – Vlad
Have you looked into sending an 'Intent' from your app. This should trigger Google Drive. – Stefan Hogendoorn
What intent? with what parameters? where is the docu? – David

If you open the file URL in Android, it should ask you if you want to use the Google Doc app or the web browser.

The URL is typically what you'll get from the Doc List, something like: https://docs.google.com/document/d/_Doc_list_resource_id_/edit
