Google Drive Sample Apps

Summary

This app (or collection of apps) has been built to demonstrate the use of the Google Drive and Core libraries.

It consists of two components:

1. A test harness that provides a UI for performing all of the Google Drive API calls.
2. An implementation of the library that allows Account attachments to be transferred to Google Drive.

Note: Currently, no test coverage for the sample apps has been provided.

Key Features

• Demonstrates each of the API calls found at https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/.
• Demonstrates the use of the Files: insert API call by moving an Account attachment to Google Drive.
• Demonstrates the use of the Permissions : insert API call by sharing the transferred file to all the Account contacts.
• Demonstrates the use of the Files: delete API call by deleting the file from Google Drive.
