Drive Quickstart NullPointerException

Question

i'm trying to get the Google Drive Quickstart example to run but i'll always get a RuntimeException. This seems to come from the depths of the the API i use.

Does anyone had the same Problems then i and could help me to fix it? Here is my errorcode.

I copied the code from the Drive Quickstarttutorial, here is a link

Answer 1

It seems like that the initial resumable upload request is failing, probably because of failed authorization, and that is causing the NullPointerException.

Make sure you are using the latest version of the client library and double check your credentials in the APIs Console, package name and SHA1 fingerprint.

If that still doesn't work, try following the step-by-step video that goes through the setup of the same quickstart application: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ied1CjJ0iP0
