How to get information from Google Drive using Kotlin?

Question

How to read data from Google Drive, such as file name, etc.?

I want to get the file name, the link and the picture of the first page of a book (if it's possible) in Google Drive using Kotlin.

Answer 1

Google Drive has a REST API, check the documentation here:
https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/about-sdk

Specifically, there is a service to search files:

In Android you can consume REST API using Retrofit:

It works perfectly with Kotlin.
