Listing all available files in Google Drive through Google Drive SDK


Previously, in desktop application, I am using Google Document List API, to list out all available files in Google Drive.

http://jstock.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/jstock/jstock/file/808b03e824bf/src/org/yccheok/jstock/gui/Utils.java#l1188

However, Google Document List API is not supported in Android platform. In order for this to work in Android platform, I need to use Google Drive SDK.

https://developers.google.com/drive/v1/reference/files/get

I do not see Google Drive SDK provides such functionality. So, what Android developers can do, to achieve list out all available files in Google Drive purpose?

    Admittedly, not a great set of options, but probably the "HTTP REST API plus XML parser" is your best bet in the near term...
