I notice that there is not a conclusive answer to this on SO, so I am looking for a canonical answer to the question " How to check if a folder exists, and create it if it does not, using the Google Drive Android API? ". Ideally showing examples of both the asynchronous approach using ResultCallback , and the synchronous approach using .await() . P.S. I am aware of this question with the same title , but the accepted answer is focussing on the known bug of lag on isTrashed() , and is not clear about at which point in the code you actually know the folder exists. Other answers seem out of date.

The following 2 code snippets demonstrate the problem I ran into with the NEW Google Drive Android API / Google Play Services 4.2 (libver 15). Or is it a feature I don't know about? All error checking and initialization is removed in order to keep the code simple. 1/ I create a picture of "image/jpeg" MIME type; GoogleApiClient mGAC; byte[] jpgBuffer; DriveFolder fldr; ContentsResult rslt = Drive.DriveApi.newContents(mGAC).await(); Contents cont = rslt.getContents(); cont.getOutputStream().write(jpgBuffer); MetadataChangeSet meta = new MetadataChangeSet.Builder() .setTitle("foo.jpg")

In my app, I'm uploading files to the google drive using GD API . It works fine for small file sizes, but when file size is large (ex: 200MB), it throws java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: exception. I know why it crashes it loads the whole data into the memory, can anyone suggest how can I fix this problem? This is my code: OutputStream outputStream = result.getDriveContents().getOutputStream(); FileInputStream fis; try { fis = new FileInputStream(file.getPath()); ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); byte[] buf = new byte[8192]; int n; while (-1 != (n = fis.read(buf))) baos.write

I need to list all images in a users drive cloud. I use https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files with the correct filter to query all images. I need to group the result in my app in folders. I know a file can have multiple parents, that's fine. I would like to avoid making and calls (for every single file a single call) to get a files folder via https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/get using the parent id from the first call. Is there a network friendly way to get all files inclusive there folders? EDIT A simple solution would be to get all folders with ids in one query and

I need to use the drive api to create a file with some content from my app, so I followed the "Getting Started" section from Drive api web page. So I enabled the api on my developer´s console, created an OAuth client id as it says. (Can I use the api if I haven´t paid the 2$5 yet?) On my settings activity on the onCreate method I'm doing: googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this) .addApi(Drive.API) .addScope(Drive.SCOPE_FILE) .addConnectionCallbacks(this) .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this) .build(); I'm implementing the methods: @Override protected void onStop(){ getGoogleApiClient
