I'm migrating to Google Drive REST API (Android SDK v3) and i can't figure out how to request file system entries for a Google Drive directory assuming i have it's fileId
.
I looked into REST API and i can't see how i can pass fileId
.
It looks like search can be used ("%fileId%" in parents
), but is it actually the recommended way?
Any proper way of doing that?
CodePudding user response:
In v2 there was the Children resource, which you could use to list a folder's children (there was also the Parents resource, which you could use to list a file's parents). Because this resources functionalities could be achieved with Files: list, they were dropped in v3.
So in v3, the way to list files in a folder is by using the search query, as you said, like q: 'your-folder-id' in parents
.
And if you want to include all files and folders inside subfolders, refer to the thread referenced by Tanaike.
