I have been able to set up a Google Drive file picker so that I can read the contents of any file selected by the user. However, I would like to be able to download Google Docs files selected by the user as text files and then read their content, though I have only been able to find solutions to do this using the Drive Rest API, which I believe is separate from the Google Drive API for Android. Is there any solution that would allow me to do this? Currently, my code for downloading files is as follows:
final private class RetrieveDriveFileContentsAsyncTask
extends ApiClientAsyncTask<DriveId, Boolean, String> {
public RetrieveDriveFileContentsAsyncTask(Context context) {
super(context);
}
@Override
protected String doInBackgroundConnected(DriveId... params) throws IOException {
String contents = null;
DriveId driveId=params[0];
DriveFile file = driveId.asDriveFile();
DriveApi.DriveContentsResult driveContentsResult =
file.open(getGoogleApiClient(), DriveFile.MODE_READ_ONLY, null).await();
if (!driveContentsResult.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
return null;
}
DriveContents driveContents = driveContentsResult.getDriveContents();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(driveContents.getInputStream()));
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
builder.append(line);
builder.append('\n');
}
contents = builder.toString();
driveContents.discard(getGoogleApiClient());
return contents;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
if (result == null) {
return;
}
Intent intent=new Intent(getContext(),NotesActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("setTextTo",result);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
