Download Selected File From Google Drive

I have Drive Id of selected file and I am able to get Url of that file using MetadataResult mdRslt; DriveFile file; file = Drive.DriveApi.getFile(mGoogleApiClient,driv

Solution 1:

UPDATE: Actually, since you writing it to a file, you don't need the 'is2Bytes()'. Just dump the input stream (cont.getInputStream()) directly to a file.

ORIGINAL ANSWER: Since you are referring to the GDAA, this method (taken from here) may just work for you:

  GoogleApiClient mGAC;

  byte[] read(DriveId id) {
    byte[] buf = null;
    if (mGAC != null && mGAC.isConnected() && id != null) try {
      DriveFile df = Drive.DriveApi.getFile(mGAC, id);
      DriveContentsResult rslt = df.open(mGAC, DriveFile.MODE_READ_ONLY, null).await();
      if ((rslt != null) && rslt.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
        DriveContents cont = rslt.getDriveContents();
        buf = is2Bytes(cont.getInputStream());
        cont.discard(mGAC);    // or cont.commit();  they are equiv if READONLY
      }
    } catch (Exception e) { Log.e("_", Log.getStackTraceString(e)); }
    return buf;
  }

  byte[] is2Bytes(InputStream is) {
    byte[] buf = null;
    BufferedInputStream bufIS = null;
    if (is != null) try {
      ByteArrayOutputStream byteBuffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      bufIS = new BufferedInputStream(is);
      buf = newbyte[4096];
      int cnt;
      while ((cnt = bufIS.read(buf)) >= 0) {
        byteBuffer.write(buf, 0, cnt);
      }
      buf = byteBuffer.size() > 0 ? byteBuffer.toByteArray() : null;
    } catch (Exception ignore) {}
    finally {
      try {
        if (bufIS != null) bufIS.close();
      } catch (Exception ignore) {}
    }
    return buf;
  }

It is a simplified version of 'await' flavor that has be run off-UI-thread. Also, dumping input stream into a buffer is optional, I don't know what your app's needs are.

Good Luck.

Solution 2:

Use downloadUrl or one of the exportLinks. See https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files for a description of these properties.
