I am trying to write an application which can upload files to Google Drive. I have chosen to interact with this service via raw http requests as I haven't found any useful examples of the API on Android and as it seems more lightweight then the provided libraries.
I've used https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/ to get the various calls and responses and am trying to write a simple request to return the list of files. The request sent via the tool is:
POST /drive/v2/files HTTP/1.1
Host: www.googleapis.com
Content-length: 0
Content-type: application/json
Authorization: OAuth *token goes here*
I have tried to replicate this in eclipse using:
URL url = new URL("https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?v=3");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty("Host:", "www.googleapis.com");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-length:", "0");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-type:", "application/json");
conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization:", "OAuth " + token);
I have a valid token in my application and I have also tried to add the header conn.setRequestProperty("GData-Version:", "3.0")
as specified in the Google documentation. I'm getting the response code 400, I'm sure there is something obvious wrong with my code but I haven't written header requests before and from the examples I've seen this looks correct.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Ok I have got further - I am now getting a 401 - with a message saying I need to login EDIT: I am now getting a "Received authentication challenge is null" response from the server.
String token = fetchToken();
if (token == null) {
return;
}
URL url = new URL("https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
try {
conn.setRequestMethod("POST"); //use post method
conn.setDoOutput(true); //we will send stuff
conn.setDoInput(true); //we want feedback
conn.setUseCaches(false); //no caches
conn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
conn.setRequestProperty("HTTP-Version:", "HTTP/1.1");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-type: ", "application/json");
conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization:","OAuth" + token);
}
catch (ProtocolException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
OutputStream out = conn.getOutputStream();
try {
OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(out);
wr.write("{\"Method\":\"POST\",\"absoluteURI\"" +
":\"https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files\"," +
"\"headers\":{\"Content-Type\":\"application/json\"," +
"\"Content-Length\":\"0\"},\"message-body\":\"\"," +
"\"access_token\":\"" +
token +
"\"" +
"," +
"\"access_token_type\":\"oauth\"}"
); //ezm is my JSON object containing the api commands
wr.flush();
wr.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
}
finally { //in this case, we are ensured to close the output stream
if (out != null)
out.close();
}
int sc = conn.getResponseCode();
if (sc == 200) {
Log.i(TAG, "200 OK..");
InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
String name = getFileName(readResponse(is));
System.out.println(readResponse(is));
//mActivity.show("Hello " + name + "!");
is.close();
return;
} else if (sc == 401) {
GoogleAuthUtil.invalidateToken(mActivity, token);
onError("Server auth error, please try again.", null);
Log.i(TAG, "Server auth error: " + readResponse(conn.getErrorStream()));
return;
} else {
System.out.println(sc);
onError("Server returned the following error code: " + sc, null);
return;
}
My token should be valid as I can get the user information by accessing
"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?access_token=" + token
Any ideas?
EDIT: For anyone finding this looking for help I never got it to work, not entirely sure what the issue was but in the end I used the official api - a good working example can be found here Google drive SDK 2.0 throws error 400 Bad Request
