Plans for drive.appdata scope in android google drive API

Question

I want to use files in the special application data folder in new android application im developing (aka drive.appdata scope).

You guys at google did an excelent job in the new Google Drive Android API which is bundled with the Google Play Services 4.2.

But I found out that its not possible to use the appdata folder in the Android API, because there is only the scope drive.file. Now I have to use the generic java/web api in android for this.

There are plans to implement the drive.appdata scope in the android API ? When ?

Thanks in advance

They are being added recently in Google Play Services 4.3

Note: The Google Drive Android API currently only supports drive.file and drive.appdata authorization scopes. If your application requires additional permissions or features not yet available in the Drive Android API, you must use the Google APIs Java Client.
