Google Drive Api Account Authorization

Question

I am developing an Android application that can provide a large amount of statistical information. I want to save this data on my Google drive for later analysis.

However, I am new to Google apis and know little how to authorize my account programmatically. Here is what I still have.

private static Uri driveUri; private static Drive service; private GoogleAccountCredential credential; private Account driveAccount; // AccountManager accManager = // (AccountManager) getSystemService(Context.ACCOUNT_SERVICE); // accManager.setUserData(driveAccount, ???, ???) credential = GoogleAccountCredential.usingOAuth2(this, DriveScopes.DRIVE); credential.setSelectedAccountName(" [e-mail] "); service = getDriveService(credential); public class UploadToDrive extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> { @Override protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss", Locale.US).format(new Date()); File sdcard = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()); File fileAnalytics = null; try { fileAnalytics = File.createTempFile("Sessions" + File.separator + "session_" + timeStamp, ".txt", sdcard); } catch (IOException e2) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e2.printStackTrace(); } PrintStream ps = null; try { ps = new PrintStream(fileAnalytics); } catch (FileNotFoundException e1) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e1.printStackTrace(); } ps.println("Count: " + count); ps.println("Time: " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime)); ps.close(); FileContent content = new FileContent("text/plain", fileAnalytics); com.google.api.services.drive.model.File body = new com.google.api.services.drive.model.File(); body.setTitle(fileAnalytics.getName()); body.setMimeType("text/plain"); try { service.files().insert(body, content); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } return null; } @Override protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onProgressUpdate(values); } } 

The code runs successfully and the file is created on the device, but I want to send it to my Google drive.

I think the main problem is that I don’t know how the account name should be indicated. I have a feeling that this is not " [e-mail] ". Is there a way to get the account name string for my google account?

The problem is that Google Drive, Dropbox and other cloud services do not have support for accessing your own account.

And even if I get my account key, it changes every 15 minutes!

I suggest creating a website and using FTP to upload files.
