As said also on unable to query the files "shared with me" from google drive using Google drive api android , at the moment drive apis let you access only data in drive made by your app.

you can verify by yourself by changing Query query = new Query.Builder().addFilter(Filters.sharedWithMe()).build(); in Query query = new Query.Builder().build();

and you see only one folder, named "App Data"

to access other files you need to use drive java api, as told in https://developers.google.com/drive/android/auth#connecting_and_authorizing_the_google_drive_android_api

Note: The Google Drive Android API currently only supports drive.file and drive.appfolder authorization scopes. If your application requires additional permissions or features not yet available in the Drive Android API, you must use the Google APIs Java Client.
