Upload video to google drive

[GM_Shack]

Hey @TIMAI2, I wanted to come back to this app to finish it, have you found anything on how to fix the bug

[vknow360]

Although, it should be the last option but still you should try considering using an extension.

[GM_Shack]

I searched the ai2 community and the kodular community as well but I couldn't find any extension, any chance you happen to know any

[vknow360]

That depends on whether files will be uploaded to your drive or user's?

[GM_Shack]

my drive

[TIMAI2]

Here are three options for you:

Google Drive API

Upload Any File to Google Drive, using Google Drive API

[iconGDC96] It can be tricky to get setup, but once done, uploading files is pretty straightforward. Where I mention service accounts, I actually mean "0Auth Client ID"s Upload Any File to Google Drive, using Google Drive API Update: now includes information about downloading files from Google Drive, and listing files on Google Drive (see the Addendum)

WebViewExtra (load your google drive folder url and upload file)

WebViewExtra - Upload/Download Files with webviewer

WebViewExtra [wveicon] An extension for AI2 that extends the features of the native webviewer. The extension, by default, will provide the following features: allow for uploading of files from within a webviewer.

Hi, everyone. I tried to follow the block given by @TIMAI2 but I still got error. It should happened because of my lower knowledge about this (MIT App Inventor). If you don't mind, I will bother your time to help me solve this problem.

here is the error

here is my block

this is debug result:

Thank you for your help.

[TIMAI2]

Which Android version are you working with / targeting ?

Also see below for updated method:

ok, I'll try first. thank you for helping me, anyway.

This then begs the question as to how/why you are creating and using:

/storage/emulated/0/Windows/Downloads/Video

?

[digischool_digitalen]

it was created automatically from the block, I don't know how it was created (sorry for my bad). I just need an absolute or relative (to get the url till the file extensionn like .mp4 or .mov) url from my file where I picked with file picker, I want to upload to Cloudinary, but when I test, cloudinary just silent when I debug to filePicker1.selection the url just return Do It Result: "content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/video%3A1000242935" ---.

Since I am still new of this, let me know you thought

[TIMAI2]

My advice to you would be to use one of the Shared Directories, e.g. Download, Documents or DCIM to store your videos, this should return a usable content uri.

For a video stored in the Download directory, your contenturi should look something like this:

content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/primary%3ADownload%2FmyVideo.mp4

In most situations, you can use these two procedures to convert the content uri to a filePath, and extract the filename

example:

[digischool_digitalen]

thank you for your best solution. Unfortunately, I can't send the file using web post file block, it was an issue 908 READ EXTERNAL STORAGE..., then I change some of block structure to the new one, little bit simple than before.

it should be work since I follow your tutorial you provided in link above, but I got new problem. like this

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate a 87601272 byte allocation with 37748736 free bytes and 67MB until OOM, target footprint 235095328, growth limit 268435456

since this caused an error too, I'll try to change to the new one as you wrote.

[TIMAI2]

Looks like you have created an infinite loop in your app somewhere...

[digischool_digitalen]

which one caused infinite loop, from this block?

after I tracking the error occurred while converting to base... Ok, I'll change my block again.

[TIMAI2]

Also, best to ask, how large (mb) is the video you are attempting to upload?

[digischool_digitalen]

for about 35 MB

[TIMAI2]

Have you considered reducing the file size by re-encoding?
