How to get the file ID so I can perform a download of a file from Google Drive API on Android?

Question

I am working on an Android project and I am trying to make use of the Google Drive API and I\'ve got most of it working but I am having an issue in how I perform a download.

One way is to associating unique properties with your file while creation.

properties = "{ \
    key='somekey' and \
    value='somevalue'
}"

then create a query.

query = "title = " + "\'" + title + "\'" + \
        AND + "mimeType = " + "\'" + mimeType + "\'" + \
        AND + "trashed = false" + \
        AND + "properties has " + properties

All the file properties(title, etc) already known to you can go here + properties.
