Google Drive API and Google Apps Script

I've made an Android app which uses the Google Drive API to list the files in a user's Drive and open the files. Whilst most files open as expected, there is an issue when trying to open Google Apps Script project files: the file.getDownloadUrl() returns null, so I am unable to retrieve it from Drive.

Whilst I can understand why the Google Drive API does not return a download URL for the projects, what I was wondering is if there was any way of opening the files in the project via the Drive API (or any other Android-compatible API). The app is a code editor, so this would be an extremely useful feature to have! Thanks everyone.

Google Apps Script projects can't be downloaded but exported.

Basically you can use the export link of the Drive.File and get a JSON object containing all the files of the Google Apps Script Project.

More details are available in the Google Apps Script Documentation.
