RxDrive
RxJava wrapper for Google Drive Android API
Why
Using Google Drive API for Android can be a little frustrating because sometimes you must define nested callbacks. If you want to avoid them, you should create an AsyncTask
for each action and call synchronous methods ( await()
). Anyway, you have to write some ugly and confusing code.
The purpose of RxDrive is to use Google Drive APIs with the elegance and the advantages of RxJava.
No more nested callbacks, no more AsyncTasks
.
Before you start
Before you start using this library, you need to follow the instructions to create a new project with Google Drive API access ( https://developers.google.com/drive/android/get-started).
Features
Since this project is still a work in progress, additional features will come in next releases. Currently, RxDrive allows you to:
- Authenticate users
- Notify your app about changes of the connection state
- Create files
- Open files
- Update files
- Get metadata of Drive resources
- List and query resources
- Trash, untrash and delete Drive resources
- Sync Drive
Examples
Connecting
public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private RxDrive mRxDrive;
private Subscription mSubscription;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
mRxDrive = new RxDrive(new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(Drive.API)
.addScope(Drive.SCOPE_FILE) //If you want to access to user files
.addScope(Drive.SCOPE_APPFOLDER) //If you want to access to the app folder
);
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
...
mSubscription = mRxDrive.connectionObservable()
.subscribe(new Action1<ConnectionState>() {
@Override
public void call(ConnectionState connectionState) {
switch (connectionState.getState()) {
case CONNECTED:
doSomething(connectionState.getBundle());
break;
case SUSPENDED:
doSomethingElse(connectionState.getCause());
break;
case FAILED:
mRxDrive.resolveConnection(MyActivity.this, connectionState.getConnectionResult());
break;
case UNABLE_TO_RESOLVE:
showMessageToUser(connectionState.getConnectionResult());
break;
}
}
}
, new Action1<Throwable>() {
@Override
public void call(Throwable throwable) {
...
}
}
);
mRxDrive.connect();
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
...
mRxDrive.disconnect();
mSubscription.unsubscribe();
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(final int requestCode, final int resultCode, final Intent data) {
mRxDrive.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
}
Creating a file
mRxDrive.createFile(mRxDrive.getAppFolder(), uriOrFile, optionalName, optionalMimeType)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Action1<DriveId>() {
@Override
public void call(DriveId driveId) {
...
}
}
, new Action1<Throwable>() {
@Override
public void call(Throwable throwable) {
...
}
}
);
Listing children of a folder
mRxDrive.listChildren(mRxDrive.getAppFolder())
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Action1<List<DriveId>>() {
@Override
public void call(List<DriveId> driveIds) {
...
}
}
, new Action1<Throwable>() {
@Override
public void call(Throwable throwable) {
...
}
}
);
Querying for children of a folder
Query query = new Query.Builder() .addFilter(Filters.eq(SearchableField.TITLE, "HelloWorld.java")) .build() mRxDrive.queryChildren(mRxDrive.getAppFolder(), query)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Action1<List<DriveId>>() {
@Override
public void call(List<DriveId> driveIds) {
...
}
}
, new Action1<Throwable>() {
@Override
public void call(Throwable throwable) {
...
}
}
);
Getting metadata
mRxDrive.getMetadata(someDriveId)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Action1<Metadata>() {
@Override
public void call(Metadata metadata) {
...
}
}
, new Action1<Throwable>() {
@Override
public void call(Throwable throwable) {
...
}
}
Opening a file
mRxDrive.open(mDriveId, new Subscriber<Progress>() {
@Override
public void onCompleted() {
...
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable e) {
...
}
@Override
public void onNext(Progress progress) {
mTextView.setText(progress.getPercentage() + "%");
}
}
)
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Action1<InputStream>() {
@Override
public void call(InputStream inputStream) {
...
}
}
, new Action1<Throwable>() {
@Override
public void call(Throwable throwable) {
...
}
}
);
Gradle
Add in your root build.gradle
:
