Uploading video to Google Drive programmatically (Android API)

Question

I have followed the Drive API guide (https://developer.android.com/google/play-services/drive.html) and my app now uploads photos smoothly, but I am now trying to upload vid

Answer 1

So this my complete code how I achieved uploading a video. Steps:

• Fetch video file from uri(as in my case).
• Get the byte array from bytearray outputstream as mentioned in the code
• write the byte array to the ouputStream
• the api will upload the file in the background

public class UploadVideo extends AppCompatActivity {

DriveClient mDriveClient;
DriveResourceClient mDriveResourceClient;
GoogleSignInAccount googleSignInAccount;
String TAG = "Drive";
private final int REQUEST_CODE_CREATOR = 2013;
Task createContentsTask;
String uri;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_upload_video);
    //Fetching uri or path from previous activity.
    uri = getIntent().getStringExtra("uriVideo");
    //Get previously signed in account.
    googleSignInAccount = GoogleSignIn.getLastSignedInAccount(this);
    if (googleSignInAccount != null) {
        mDriveClient = Drive.getDriveClient(getApplicationContext(), googleSignInAccount);
        mDriveResourceClient =
                Drive.getDriveResourceClient(getApplicationContext(), googleSignInAccount);
    }
    else Toast.makeText(this, "Login again and retry", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    createContentsTask = mDriveResourceClient.createContents();
    findViewById(R.id.uploadVideo).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
                createFile();
        }
    });
}

private void createFile() {
    // [START create_file]
    final Task rootFolderTask = mDriveResourceClient.getRootFolder();
    final Task createContentsTask = mDriveResourceClient.createContents();
    Tasks.whenAll(rootFolderTask, createContentsTask)
            .continueWithTask(new Continuation>() {
                @Override
                public Task then(@NonNull Task task) throws Exception {
                    DriveFolder parent = rootFolderTask.getResult();
                    DriveContents contents = createContentsTask.getResult();
                    File file = new File(uri);
                    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
                    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
                    for (int readNum; (readNum = fis.read(buf)) != -1;) {
                        baos.write(buf, 0, readNum);
                    }
                    OutputStream outputStream = contents.getOutputStream();
                    outputStream.write(baos.toByteArray());

                    MetadataChangeSet changeSet = new MetadataChangeSet.Builder()
                            .setTitle("MyVideo.mp4") // Provide you video name here
                            .setMimeType("video/mp4") // Provide you video type here
                            .build();

                    return mDriveResourceClient.createFile(parent, changeSet, contents);
                }
            })
            .addOnSuccessListener(this,
                    new OnSuccessListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onSuccess(DriveFile driveFile) {
                            Toast.makeText(Upload.this, "Upload Started", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            finish();
                        }
                    })
            .addOnFailureListener(this, new OnFailureListener() {
                @Override
                public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
                    Log.e(TAG, "Unable to create file", e);
                    finish();
                }
            });
    // [END create_file]
}

}
