DriveFolder.listChildren() not showing all its children

Question

I am making an app which works with google drive.

I need to get a list of ALL files inside a folder, but it seems that it isnt possible: when I call listFiles method

Answer 1

I've tried this approach and I've also found that not all files are returned. Unfortunately, this behaviour is intentional =(

I quote from the documentation:

"The Google Drive Android API currently only supports drive.file and drive.appfolder"

drive.file (Drive.SCOPE_FILE) means: "Per-file access to files created or opened by the app"

"This means that only files which a user has opened or created with your application can be matched by a query"
