I want to update the contents of the already uploaded Google Doc file. I'm using the below code:
DocumentsService service = new DocumentsService("app-v1");
string auth = gLogin2();
service.SetAuthenticationToken(auth);
Stream stream = new MemoryStream(ASCIIEncoding.Default.GetBytes(
"CONTENTS PLEASE CHANGE"));
DocumentEntry entry = service.Update(new Uri("feedURL"), stream, "text/plain",
"nameOfDoc") as DocumentEntry;
For "feedURL" I tried using all the possible links: alternate, self, edit, edit-media even resumable-edit-media, but I keep on getting exceptions.
Also how do I read a response with such requests?
I just started using this API. Earlier, I was using it on the protocol level so was sending GET/POST requests and receiving web responses. I don't know how to get or read response in this case.
UPDATE:
Now the code I'm using is:
RequestSettings _settings;
string DocumentContentType = "text/html";
_settings = new RequestSettings("Stickies", "EMAIL", "PASSWORD");
var request = new DocumentsRequest(_settings);
//var entryToUpdate = doc.DocumentEntry;
var updatedContent = "new content..."; ;
var mediaUri = new Uri(string.Format(DocumentsListQuery.mediaUriTemplate, rid));
Trace.WriteLine(mediaUri);
var textStream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(updatedContent));
var reqFactory = (GDataRequestFactory)request.Service.RequestFactory;
reqFactory.CustomHeaders.Add(string.Format("{0}: {1}", GDataRequestFactory.IfMatch, et));
var oldEtag = et;
DocumentEntry entry = request.Service.Update(mediaUri, textStream, DocumentContentType, title) as DocumentEntry;
Debug.WriteLine(string.Format("ETag changed while saving {0}: {1} -> {2}", title, oldEtag,et));
Trace.WriteLine("reached");
And the exception I'm getting is:
{"The remote server returned an error: (412) Precondition Failed."}
I'm getting this exception at DocumentEntry entry = request.Service.Update(mediaUri, textStream, DocumentContentType, title) as DocumentEntry;
Solved.. Exception precondition Failed was due to Etag mismatch The above UPDATED code works perfectly for saving a document.
