B4A Library CloudRail - CloudStorage (Dropbox, GoogleDrive, OneDrive and Box) Payment (PayPal, Stripe), POI

This is a Wrapper for the CloudStorage API from CloudRail.

At this point of development there is no Social-module wrapped. CloudRail does support more than just the CloudStorage-Api. But it was this i was interested in so i wrote the wrap for them...

I leave it up to the community to extend the library; i´ll share the written JAVA-Code

Requirements:
- B4A 6+ as the library is using a aar
- Account at CloudRail. Note that they also provide free subscription.
https://cloudrail.com/cloudrail-pricing/
- The file cloudrail-si.aar which can be downloaded here.
- An ClientID and Secret from the content-provider you want to use.
Dropbox
GoogleDrive
OneDrive
Box

Installation: Copy all three files from the library zip to your additional libs folder.
CloudRail.xml, CloudRail.jar and cloudrail-si.aar



Example-Code (for Dropbox)

B4X: 
Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
    Dim dropbox As Dropbox
    Dim cr As CloudRail
End Sub

B4X: 
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    'Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    cr.Initialize("CloudRail","cloudrailid")
End Sub
Sub CloudRail_Ready(Success As Boolean)
    Log($"CloudRail_Ready(${Success})"$)
    If Success Then
        'dropbox.Initialize("Dropbox","client id","client secret")
    End If
End Sub

B4X: 
Sub Dropbox_Ready(Success As Boolean)
    Log($"Dropbox_Ready(${Success})"$)
    dropbox.getChildren("/")
    dropbox.getChildren("/B4A")
    dropbox.checkAllocation
    dropbox.download("/B4A/MaterialDesign-Webfont-master.zip",rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("Downloads"),"MaterialWebfont.zip")
End Sub
Sub Dropbox_DownloadFinished(success As Boolean, info As String, filePath As String, destPath As String, destFile As String)
    Log($"Dropbox_DownloadFinished(${destFile}->${success},${destFile},${filePath})"$)
End Sub
Sub Dropbox_Allocation(alloc As Object)
    Log($"Dropbox_Allocation()"$)
    If alloc <> Null Then
        Dim sa As SpaceAllocation = alloc
        Log($"${sa.Used} Used"$)
        Log($"${sa.Total} Total"$)
    End If
End Sub
Sub Dropbox_MetaData(path As String, meta As Object)
    Log($"Dropbox_MetaData(${path},${meta})"$)
End Sub
Sub Dropbox_Login(Success As Boolean)
    Log($"Dropbox_Login(${Success})"$)
End Sub
Sub Dropbox_Children(folder As List, files As List)
    Log($"Dropbox_Children()"$)
    If folder <> Null Then
        Log($"folder: ${folder.Size}"$)
    End If
    If files <> Null Then
        Log($"files: ${files.Size}"$)
    End If
    'Log($"Dropbox_Children(${folder})"$)
End Sub

Ok, nun habe ich verstanden. Ich werde - für die Allgemeinheit - weiter in English antworten.

Ahh, ok. Now i understand. I tried to investigate it yesterday.
With the same result as you and Mahares.

Always i had to reauthenticate.

I did not find a solution for it till now.

But i´ll make a ticket on the Cloudrail-Support to ask what to do.

1. Could you share with the rest of us in English how you prevent the annoying screen from appearing.
2. Where did you exactly put the 2 lines of code above in your project.
3. Googledrive has a client ID(appkey) and a secret. What do you mean by 'drivetoken'

1. Create a global String Variable "dim driveToken ="" as string" .

B4X: 
Sub Drive_Ready(Success As Boolean)
    Log($"Drive_Ready(${Success})"$)
    If Success Then
        BTN18BackupGoogleDrive.Enabled        = True                                            'Backup-Button deaktivieren
        BTN18BackupGoogleDrive.TextColor    = Colors.RGB(0,0,189)       
        If driveToken.Length>0 Then drive.loadAsString(driveToken)
    Else
        BTN18BackupGoogleDrive.Enabled         = False
        BTN18RestoreGoogleDrive.Enabled        = False
        LBL18RestoreGoogleDriveInfo.Text    = ""       
    End If
End Sub

B4X: 
Sub Drive_UploadFinished(destPath As String, info As String, success As Boolean)
    driveToken             = drive.saveAsString                                    'Zugriff Token in Variable speichern
End Sub

"DriveToken = drive.saveAsString" stores all relevant data for access in the variable driveToken.

How can i check if an upload / download is possible, if e.g. No internet is available?
The events "CloudRail_Ready" and "Drive_Ready" always report "success", even if I disable Internet on the phone, and the upload wants to start and run on error, APP is terminated.

Please note that this only works after you finally finish a upload/download/dir-listing... Once the result event is raised you can store the credentials with
drive.saveAsString

Shouldn't this string be saved in a text file or somewhere so it can be retrieved the next time you do an upload or download. I do not think the answer we got in post#44 is complete. Something is missing. I tried the suggestion in post#44, but you are shown every time the annoying google drive screen

Yes, sure. You can do it the same way like i did in my Dropbox-Example (the java Dropbox-wrap)


B4X: 
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    'Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    cr.Initialize("CloudRail","xxx")

End Sub
Sub CloudRail_Ready(Success As Boolean)
    Log($"CloudRail_Ready(${Success})"$)
    If Success Then
        Dim dummy As String
        dummy = Starter.kvs.GetDefault("token", "")
        If dummy <> "" And dummy <> $"[{}]"$ Then
            Log($"ReuseToken(${dummy})"$)
            token = dummy
            drive.loadAsString(dummy)
        Else
            Log($"Drive.Initialize()"$)
            drive.Initialize("Drive","bbbb","cccc")
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Like i wrote. ou can save the token after you firstly finished a job. download, upload, dir-listing...
In my app i´m calling getchildren for a folder. inside the event i save the token

B4X: 
Sub Drive_Children(folder As List, files As List)
    Log($"Drive_Children()"$)
    Dim t As String = drive.saveAsString
    Log("Token="&t)
    token = t
    Starter.kvs.Put("token", token)

Hi,
first of all thanks to Manfred for this useful library, all work ok but if i create subfolder on Google Drive i have this error:
B4X: 
  drive.createFolder("/Turnariovf")

B4X: 
** Service (starter) Create **
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **
CloudRail_Ready(true)
Drive_Ready(true)
java.lang.Exception: Sub drive_createFolder was not found.

   at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:778)

but in code i have this sub:

B4X: 
Sub Drive_CreateFolder(folderPath As String)
   Log($"Drive folder created"$)
End Sub

The folder is created in Google Drive.

Any Idea?

I have been spending hours on this CloudRail GoogleDrive library with no luck:
The first time I run it, it prompts me for authentication and runs well:
B4X: 
googledrive_Ready(true)
show me token:
** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = false **
sending message to waiting queue (CallSubDelayed - JobDone)
running waiting messages (1)
** Activity (main) Resume **
my upload : true
Token in KVS is [{"refreshToken":"1\/3HrMJWZexVCZykF00RXzmuYJ9mHYj28qZZcbI","accessToken":"29.Ci_BA9yHmJw9MBREfOL23jQrDdN_JozxxKdTLoX4PBvThQO7QCfaxW3QkVxW9exWZg","expireIn":1482869498646}]

After the first time, it crashes with this error:

B4X: 
Sub CloudRail_Ready(Success As Boolean)
    Log($"CloudRail_Ready(${Success})"$)
    If Success Then
        Dim dummy As String
        dummy = Starter.kvs.GetDefault("token", "")
        If dummy <> "" And dummy <> $"[{}]"$ Then
            Log($"ReuseToken(${dummy})"$)
            Token = dummy
            googledrive.loadAsString(dummy)   'ERROR HERE


B4X: 
CloudRail_Ready(true)
ReuseToken([{"refreshToken":"1\/3HrMJWZexVCZykF00RXzmuYJ9mHYj28qZZcbI","accessToken":"29.Ci_BA9yHmJw9MBREfOL23jQrDdN_JozxxKdTLoX4PBvThQO7QCfaxW3QkVxW9exWZg","expireIn":1482869498646}])

  at de.donmanfred.CloudStorage.GoogleDriveWrapper.loadAsString(GoogleDriveWrapper.java:123)

This is my googleDrive_upload finished event:
B4X: 
Sub googledrive_UploadFinished(destPath As String, info As String, success As Boolean)
    Log("my upload : " & success)
    Dim theToken As String = googledrive.saveAsString
    Token = theToken
    Log("Token in KVS is "& theToken)
    Starter.kvs.Put("token", Token)

Here is my googleDrive ready code:
B4X: 
Sub googledrive_Ready(Success As Boolean)
    Log($"googledrive_Ready(${Success})"$)
    If Success Then
        Log("show me token: " & Token)
        If Token.Length>0 Then googledrive.loadAsString(Token)
I hope you can find what I am missing.
Thank you

Sub Process_Globals
   'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.

End Sub

Sub Drive_Login(Success As Boolean)
   save_token

   Log($"Save Token"$)
   Dim t As String = drive.saveAsString
   Log("Token="&t)
   driveToken = t
   Starter.kvs.PutSimple("token", driveToken)
End Sub

The KeyValueStore initializing is in Starter Service....

How can I read the modification date of a file?

Sub Drive_MetaData(path As String, meta As Object)
Log($"Drive_MetaData(${path},${meta})"$)
End Sub


give a error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'com.cloudrail.si.types.CloudMetaData com.cloudrail.si.services.GoogleDrive.getMetadata(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference

End Sub
It works for me withthe newest version...
Try this version please. Note the new Eventsignature...
