Reading a document's content from the gdata API?
- by user246114
Hi,
I'm using the java library to access the gdata api. I just want to be able to print the contents of a document. I setup my project to list all the docs in my feed, now that I have a document listing, I want to print its contents:
for (DocumentListEntry entry : feed.getEntries()) {
// Ok, how do we print the doc's contents now?
entry.getContents();
}
It looks like we're supposed to get the URL from the entry, then read the contents at the URL ourselves. I found a post stating that this is how we get that URL:
MediaContent content = (MediaContent)entry.getContent();
String url = content.getUri();
but when I try to read from it, I get an html response saying 'this content has moved'. I read that this is because we have to authenticate our http-read method, but I'm not sure how to do that. Is there really no built-in way to do this?
Thanks
