How to download file from Google Drive using Drive.API?

I am using Google Drive.Api in order to get user's app data synced with users drive account.

The user database is in sqlite database format. I have successfully uploaded the file in binary to the drive but failing to download the file from within the app.

How I get the file URl :

  final GoogleAccountCredential credential = GoogleAccountCredential.usingOAuth2(this, Arrays.asList(DriveScopes.DRIVE_FILE));
    credential.setSelectedAccountName(accountName);
    service = new com.google.api.services.drive.Drive.Builder(AndroidHttp.newCompatibleTransport(), new GsonFactory(), credential).build();

    Query query = new Query.Builder()
            .addFilter(Filters.eq(SearchableField.TITLE, "BackupFile"))
            .build();


    final DriveFolder folder = Drive.DriveApi.getRootFolder(mGoogleApiClient);
    folder.queryChildren(mGoogleApiClient, query).setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<DriveApi.MetadataBufferResult>() {
        @Override
        public void onResult(DriveApi.MetadataBufferResult metadataBufferResult) {
            final MetadataBuffer metadataBuffer = metadataBufferResult.getMetadataBuffer();
            int iCount = metadataBuffer.getCount();

            if (iCount == 1) {
                Log.i("Tag", "file was found");
                final DriveId myFileId = metadataBuffer.get(0).getDriveId();
                final DriveFile file = Drive.DriveApi.getFile(mGoogleApiClient, myFileId);

                new Thread(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        DriveResource.MetadataResult mdRslt = file.getMetadata(mGoogleApiClient).await();
                        if (mdRslt != null && mdRslt.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
                            String link = mdRslt.getMetadata().getWebContentLink();
                            Log.d("TAG", "Link to File:" + link);
                             DownloadBackup(link);
                        }
                    }
                }).start();

            }
            metadataBuffer.release();
        }
    });

Trying to download the File via:

public void DownloadBackup(String url){
        InputStream mInput=null;
        FileOutputStream mOutput=null;
        if(url != null && url.length() > 0 ){
        try {
                GoogleAccountCredential crd = GoogleAccountCredential.usingOAuth2(this, Arrays.asList(DriveScopes.DRIVE_FILE));
                crd.setSelectedAccountName(accountName);
                com.google.api.services.drive.Drive srv = new com.google.api.services.drive.Drive.Builder(AndroidHttp.newCompatibleTransport(), new GsonFactory(), crd).build();
                mInput = srv.getRequestFactory().buildGetRequest(new GenericUrl(url)).execute().getContent();
                String outFileName = getApplicationContext().getDatabasePath(DatabaseHandler.DATABASE_NAME).getPath();
                mOutput = new FileOutputStream(outFileName);
                byte[] mBuffer = new byte[1024];
                int mLength;
                while ((mLength = mInput.read(mBuffer)) > 0) {
                    mOutput.write(mBuffer, 0, mLength);
                }
                mOutput.flush();
                Log.d("TAG", "Successfully Downloaded contents");
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }finally {
                try {
                    //Close the streams
                    if(mOutput != null){
                        mOutput.close();
                    }
                    if(mInput != null){
                        mInput.close();
                    }
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    Log.e("Tag", "failed to close databases");
                }
            }
        } else {
            // The file doesn't have any content stored on Drive.
            // return null;
            Log.e("Tag", "No content on Drive");
        }
    }

Can I download a file directly to Google Drive?

On your iOS or Android devices, open the Google Drive app. Tap Upload. Find and tap the files you want to upload. View uploaded files in My Drive until you move them to another folder.

Is there a Google Drive API?

The Google Drive API allows you to create apps that leverage Google Drive cloud storage. You can develop applications that integrate with Drive, and create robust functionality in your application using the Drive API.

Here is how I do it successfully. Instead of saving the result of 'getWebContentLink', I save a file/folder ID (it is a string). And pass this ID to a method like this one:

 /*************************************************************************
   * get file contents
   * @param resId  file driveId
   * @return       file's content  / null on fail
   */
  static InputStream read(String resId) {
    if (mGOOSvc != null && mConnected && resId != null) try {
      File gFl = mGOOSvc.files().get(resId).setFields("downloadUrl").execute();
      if (gFl != null){
        String strUrl = gFl.getDownloadUrl();
        return mGOOSvc.getRequestFactory()
        .buildGetRequest(new GenericUrl(strUrl)).execute().getContent();
      }
    } catch (Exception e) { /* error handling */ }
    return null;
  }

retrieving a "downloadURL" and get the content. The full context of this method can be seen here.

Good Luck
