What I tried:

String id = service.files().get(\"fileId=root\").setFields(\         


        

Answer 1

Try the following combination to see if that works.

String id = service.files().get("root").setFields("id").execute().getId();

Answer 2

To execute the above combination, you have to give your application full access to use Drive. OAuth 2.0 scope that needs to be given: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive or https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly
