I'd like to do it with Google Drive API Google Drive API, not with REST.

Answer 1

You need to setup Google Drive API for Android in your project. Everything is in guides/documentation on Google Drive API site. Here is link to get started

Then you will do like this:

1. Get root folder by calling DriveApi.getRootFolder
2. Get children of the root folder by calling method listChildren (Link to documentation) on folder returned in step 1
3. Process result by getting Metadata from buffer
4. Get file by calling DriveID object method asDriveFile() (Link to documentation)
