How to exclude trashed files when listing files in google drive

I want to list all the files in google drive using google drive api v2 . But I want to exclude files in trash in the list

So I tried 

GET https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?trashed=false

as suggested in the api documentation But still I get files in the trash folder ,Am I missing something ? Or is it a known bug in drive api?

If some else also landed here trying to filter out Trashed file when using the Google Drive API, you can use setQ(args...) function like below,

FileList result = service.files().list()
          .setQ("mimeType='image/jpeg' and trashed=false")
          .setSpaces("drive")
          .setFields("items(id, title)")
          .execute();

Problem was with query syntax, proper query parameter was 

GET https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?q=trashed%3Dfalse
