Answer 1

I simply added the following CSS:

.picker-dialog-bg {
    z-index: 20000 !important;
}

.picker-dialog {
    z-index: 20001 !important;
}

Actually you can manipulate the picker object after setting it to visible. If picker is the GooglePicker object, the A is the div for the dialog modal. You can set its z-index using JavaScript.

var picker = new google.picker.PickerBuilder().
  addView(self.viewId).
  setOAuthToken(self.oauthToken).
  setDeveloperKey(self.developerKey).
  setCallback(self.pickerCallback).
  build();

  picker.setVisible(true);

  picker.A.style.zIndex = 2000;

Ok found a solution, as mentioned in the picker reference guide there is a function PickerBuilder.toUri() which will return the URI generated by the builder. So we can use that URI and used it in our own iframe:

function createPicker() {
    var picker = new google.picker.PickerBuilder()
        .addView(google.picker.ViewId.DOCUMENTS)
        .addView(google.picker.ViewId.PRESENTATIONS)
        .addView(google.picker.ViewId.SPREADSHEETS)
        .addView(google.picker.ViewId.PDFS)

        .enableFeature(google.picker.Feature.MULTISELECT_ENABLED)
        .setAppId(appID)
        .setOAuthToken(ACCESS_TOKEN)
        .setDeveloperKey(developerKey)
        .setCallback(pickerCallback)
        .toUri();


        var iframe = $('<iframe frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>');
        iframe.attr({
            width: 500,
            height: 500,
            src: picker
        });
        $("<div></div>").append(iframe).appendTo("#my_container");
    }

I solved this problem by setting the google picker container on front using following code :

    var picker = new google.picker.PickerBuilder()
        .enableFeature(google.picker.Feature.NAV_HIDDEN)
        .enableFeature(google.picker.Feature.MULTISELECT_ENABLED)
        .setAppId(appId)
        .setOAuthToken(oauthToken)
        .addView(view)
        .addView(new google.picker.DocsUploadView())
        .setDeveloperKey(developerKey)
        .build();
    if (callback)
        picker.setCallback(callback);

    picker.setVisible(true);

    //I put this code to make the container in front.

    var elements= document.getElementsByClassName('picker-dialog');
    for(var i=0;i<elements.length;i++)
    {
        elements[i].style.zIndex = "2000";
    }
