# google-drive-ResumableUpload
|
|
A helpful java library/class for uploading large files in chunks on google drive.
|
|
|
|
## Example usage for uploading a file
|
|
|
|
Here's an example for uploading a java.io.File to google drive.
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
// Make sure we've already got Google OAuth Credentials object `credential` and
|
|
// java.io.File object `file` for the desired file to be uploaded.
|
|
|
|
// Now create the metadata google drive file with the name, mime-type and size
|
|
File fmeta = new File();
|
|
fmeta.setName("My Report");
|
|
fmeta.setMimeType("application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet");
|
|
fmeta.setSize(file.length()); // `file` is the object for the desired java.io.File
|
|
|
|
// Now, use uploadFile() method to start uploading the file in multi-part requests.
|
|
ResumableUpload.uploadFile(credential, fmeta, file);
|
|
```
|
|
## How this works
|
|
|
|
- At, first we use the `requestUploadUrl()` to create a new request to the google drive api for
|
|
our requirement of uploading a file. This method returns the url retured by the google api, which we'll be
|
|
using to upload the file data.
|
|
- Then we can use `uploadFilePacket()` to upload a part of a file or `uploadStringPacket()` to upload
|
|
a part of any string as a file data. This step can repeated for each part of part of the file.
