Hi, I have a java client that lists and downloads documents using the java client classes DocsService and DocumentListFeed. In the client, I would like to know up-front, the default MIMETYPE of a document.
I use feed.getEntries() to return a list of DocumentListEntrys. My question is this - Is it possible to know the underlying MIMETYPE of the DocumentListEntry without actually downloading the document itself? For all entries, irrespective of whether they are a word document or a PDF or a spreadsheet the call: entry.getContent().getType() always returns 1, indicating that the type is "text". This may be the type of the entry, however what I really want to know is the MIMETYPE of the document that the entry represents. For the moment I have been using the Google inner Class: DocumentListEntry$MediaType.fromFileName(title).getMimeType() to derive the MIMETYPE from the document title. However this means that all documents must be named to include the file extension in the title e.g "Word.doc" instead of "Word". This then leads to other issues: For example: If I place (create or upload) a word document in GoogleDocs called "Word.doc" and preview it (in Google Docs) it attempts to open "Word.doc.doc". Preview mostly fails. Is there any way to avoid these issues and access the underlying MIMETYPE of a document via the client data APIS? regards, Lara --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Docs Data APIs" group.
