How to Integrate HUAWEI Drive Kit - Huawei Developers

More information like this, you can visit HUAWEI Developer Forum​
Hello everyone, in this article we will create an Android application using the capabilities of HUAWEI Drive Kit that will allow users to manage and edit files in HUAWEI Drive, as well as store photos, drawings, designs, recordings and videos.
Why should we use HUAWEI Drive Kit?
With HUAWEI Drive Kit, you can let your users store data on the cloud quick and easy. Users can upload, download, synchronize, and view images, videos, and documents whenever and wherever they want.
There are 3 main functions provided by HUAWEI Drive Kit.
User file management: Includes file search, comment, and reply in addition to basic functions.
App data management: Supports app data storage and restoration.
Cross-platform capability: Provides RESTful APIs to support app access from non-Android devices.
Integration Preparations
Before you get started, you must first register as a HUAWEI developer and verify your identity on the HUAWEI Developer website. For more details, please refer to Register a HUAWEI ID.
Software Requirements
Java JDK installation package
Android SDK package
Android Studio 3.X
HMS Core (APK) 3.X or later
Supported Locations
To see all supported locations, please refer to HUAWEI Drive Kit Supported Locations
Integrating HMS Core SDK
To integrate HMS Core SDK in your application and learn creating a new project on AppGallery Connect, follow this great guide: https://medium.com/huawei-developers/android-integrating-your-apps-with-huawei-hms-core-1f1e2a090e98
Keep in mind: Users need to sign in with their HUAWEI ID before they can use the functions provided by HUAWEI Drive Kit. If the user has not signed in with a HUAWEI ID, the HMS Core SDK will prompt the user to sign in first.
Implementation
Code:
implementation 'com.huawei.hms:drive:5.0.0.301'
implementation 'com.huawei.hms:hwid:5.0.1.301'
Now that we’re ready to implement our methods, let’s see how they work.
Signing In with a HUAWEI ID
To implement the sign-in function through the HMS Core SDK, you will need to set the Drive scope for obtaining the permission to access Drive APIs.
Each Drive scope corresponds to a certain type of permissions. You may apply for the permissions as needed. For details about the corresponding APIs, please refer to HUAWEI Account Kit Development Guide.
Code:
private void driveSignIn() {
List<Scope> scopeList = new ArrayList<>();
scopeList.add(new Scope(DriveScopes.SCOPE_DRIVE));
scopeList.add(new Scope(DriveScopes.SCOPE_DRIVE_APPDATA));
scopeList.add(new Scope(DriveScopes.SCOPE_DRIVE_FILE));
scopeList.add(new Scope(DriveScopes.SCOPE_DRIVE_METADATA));
scopeList.add(new Scope(DriveScopes.SCOPE_DRIVE_METADATA_READONLY));
scopeList.add(new Scope(DriveScopes.SCOPE_DRIVE_READONLY));
scopeList.add(HuaweiIdAuthAPIManager.HUAWEIID_BASE_SCOPE);
HuaweiIdAuthParams authParams = new HuaweiIdAuthParamsHelper(HuaweiIdAuthParams.DEFAULT_AUTH_REQUEST_PARAM)
.setAccessToken()
.setIdToken()
.setScopeList(scopeList)
.createParams();
HuaweiIdAuthService authService = HuaweiIdAuthManager.getService(this, authParams);
startActivityForResult(authService.getSignInIntent(), REQUEST_SIGN_IN_LOGIN);
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == REQUEST_SIGN_IN_LOGIN) {
Task<AuthHuaweiId> authHuaweiIdTask = HuaweiIdAuthManager.parseAuthResultFromIntent(data);
if (authHuaweiIdTask.isSuccessful()) {
AuthHuaweiId authHuaweiId = authHuaweiIdTask.getResult();
mAccessToken = authHuaweiId.getAccessToken();
mUnionId = authHuaweiId.getUnionId();
int returnCode = init(mUnionId, mAccessToken, refreshAccessToken);
if (returnCode == DriveCode.SUCCESS) {
Log.d(TAG, "onActivityResult: driveSignIn success");
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "onActivityResult: driveSignIn failed");
}
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "onActivityResult, signIn failed: " + ((ApiException) authHuaweiIdTask.getException()).getStatusCode());
}
}
}
Handling the Permissions
Add the read and write permissions for the phone storage to AndroidManifest.xml
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE"
tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions" />
Add the permissions to request in MainActivity.java.
Code:
private static String[] PERMISSIONS_STORAGE = {
Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
Manifest.permission.CAMERA
};
Request the permissions in the onCreate method.
Code:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
requestPermissions(PERMISSIONS_STORAGE, 1);
}
Create a Folder and Upload a File
Now that we handled necessary permissions, let’s upload some files!
Create a folder in the root directory of Drive, and upload the file in the designated directory.
Keep in mind: the code below contains global variables and functions, you can download the sample code from the link at the end of the article to view their meanings.
Code:
private void uploadFiles() {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
if (mAccessToken == null) {
Log.d(TAG, "need to sign in first");
return;
}
if (StringUtils.isNullOrEmpty(et_uploadFileName.getText().toString())) {
Log.d(TAG, "file name is required to upload");
return;
}
String path = getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath()
+ "/" + et_uploadFileName.getText();
Log.d(TAG, "run: " + path);
java.io.File fileObj = new java.io.File(path);
if (!fileObj.exists()) {
Log.d(TAG, "file does not exists");
return;
}
Drive drive = buildDrive();
Map<String, String> appProperties = new HashMap<>();
appProperties.put("appProperties", "property");
String dirName = "Uploads";
File file = new File();
file.setFileName(dirName)
.setAppSettings(appProperties)
.setMimeType("application/vnd.huawei-apps.folder");
directoryCreated = drive.files().create(file).execute();
// Upload the file
File fileToUpload = new File()
.setFileName(fileObj.getName())
.setMimeType(mimeType(fileObj))
.setParentFolder(Collections.singletonList(directoryCreated.getId()));
Drive.Files.Create request = drive.files()
.create(fileToUpload, new FileContent(mimeType(fileObj), fileObj));
fileUploaded = request.execute();
Log.d(TAG, "upload success");
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d(TAG, "upload error " + e.toString());
}
}
}).start();
}
If applicationData is selected, the operation will be performed on the app data folder. The app data folder is invisible to users and is used to store app-specific data.
After the upload is done, the users can view the file by going to Files > HUAWEI Drive.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Query File Details
With this method we can get the details of a file in Drive. Below, we get the id, file name and size information.
Code:
private void queryFiles() {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
if (mAccessToken == null) {
Log.d(TAG, "need to sign in first");
return;
}
String containers = "";
String queryFile = "fileName = '" + et_searchFileName.getText()
+ "' and mimeType != 'application/vnd.huawei-apps.folder'";
if (cb_isApplicationData.isChecked()) {
containers = "applicationData";
queryFile = "'applicationData' in parentFolder and ".concat(queryFile);
}
Drive drive = buildDrive();
Drive.Files.List request = drive.files().list();
FileList files;
while (true) {
files = request
.setQueryParam(queryFile)
.setPageSize(10)
.setOrderBy("fileName")
.setFields("category,nextCursor,files(id,fileName,size)")
.setContainers(containers)
.execute();
if (files == null || files.getFiles().size() > 0) {
break;
}
if (!StringUtils.isNullOrEmpty(files.getNextCursor())) {
request.setCursor(files.getNextCursor());
} else {
break;
}
}
String text = "";
if (files != null && files.getFiles().size() > 0) {
fileSearched = files.getFiles().get(0);
text = fileSearched.toString();
} else {
text = "empty";
}
final String finalText = text;
MainActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
tv_queryResult.setText(finalText);
}
});
Log.d(TAG, "query success");
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d(TAG, "query error " + e.toString());
}
}
}).start();
}
Download Files
We can also download files from Drive. Just query the file (notice the fileSearched global variable above) and download with Drive.Files.Get request.

Is there any restriction on type of files which can be uploaded and while uploading are there any security measures taken like encryption of my data ?
