HTML2PDF using Google Drive API

Is it possible to upload and convert an HTML file to PDF using Google Drive API without user interaction?

Yes, it is, with two requests. You can import the file as a Google Docs, then export it to PDF. Using the Drive API.

worked for me (Drive docs only...)

ByteArrayContent mediaContent = new ByteArrayContent("text/html", "HTML PAGE HERE".getBytes()); File body = new File(); body.setTitle("test.html"); body.setMimeType("text/html"); Insert request = null; try { request = service.files().insert(body, mediaContent); request.setConvert(true); File file = request.execute(); HttpResponse resp = service.getRequestFactory().buildGetRequest(new GenericUrl(file.getExportLinks().get("application/pdf"))).execute(); OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath() + "/test.pdf"); byte[] buf = new byte[1024]; int len; while ((len = resp.getContent().read(buf)) > 0) { out.write(buf, 0, len); } out.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
