Cancel Google Drive upload possible?

Question

I have written an app using the official API to upload to Google drive, this works perfectly. However I can\'t find anyway to cancel an upload. I\'m running it in an ASync

Answer 1

Great question! I filed a feature request for the ability to cancel a media upload request:

However, this may a difficult feature to implement based on the current design of that library.

Another option to consider is to not use AsyncTask and instead implementing the multi-threading yourself and abort the running Thread. Not pleasant, but may be your only option for doing this now.
