Question

Hey I'm trying do application where i check my current location and save this location in ".txt" files. My application save this location in every "user set time" seconds. And it's work. Also I want add save files to Google drive. But I don't know how. Is there any method by which I can create a folder and save ".txt" files same as i did with local folder?

public class Save extends AppCompatActivity {
    boolean sms = false;
    int n_seconds, n_minutes, n_sum;
    private String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/Loc/Save";
    private Button buttonStartThread;
    private Handler mainHandler = new Handler();
    private volatile boolean stopThread = false;
    NumberPicker edit_text_input_back, edit_text_input_back_2;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_background);
        buttonStartThread = findViewById(R.id.button_start_thread);

        edit_phone_number = findViewById(R.id.edit_phone_number);
        edit_mail = findViewById(R.id.edit_email);
        edit_text_input_back = (NumberPicker) findViewById(R.id.edit_text_input_back);
        edit_text_input_back.setMaxValue(60);
        edit_text_input_back.setMinValue(0);
        edit_text_input_back.setValue(0);
        edit_text_input_back_2 = (NumberPicker) findViewById(R.id.edit_text_input_back_2);
        edit_text_input_back_2.setMaxValue(60);
        edit_text_input_back_2.setMinValue(0);
        edit_text_input_back_2.setValue(0);
        edit_text_input_back.setOnValueChangedListener(new NumberPicker.OnValueChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onValueChange(NumberPicker numberPicker, int i, int i1) {
            n_seconds = i1;
            }
        });
        edit_text_input_back_2.setOnValueChangedListener(new NumberPicker.OnValueChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onValueChange(NumberPicker numberPicker, int i, int i1) {
                n_minutes = 60 * i1;

        });

    }

    public void startThread(View view) {

        stopThread = false;

        ExampleRunnable runnable = new ExampleRunnable(n_sum);
        new Thread(runnable).start();
        buttonStartThread.setEnabled(false);

    }

        stopThread = true;
        buttonStartThread.setEnabled(true);
    }

    class ExampleRunnable implements Runnable {
        int seconds;
        ExampleRunnable(int seconds) {
            this.seconds = seconds;
        }
        @Override
        public void run() {
            for (; ; ) {

There are ample sources you can check for creating a folder, and uploading a file to Google Drive

Creating Folder

File fileMetadata = new File();
fileMetadata.setName("Invoices");
fileMetadata.setMimeType("application/vnd.google-apps.folder");

File file = driveService.files().create(fileMetadata)
    .setFields("id")
    .execute();
System.out.println("Folder ID: " + file.getId());

Uploading File

File fileMetadata = new File();
fileMetadata.setName("photo.jpg");
java.io.File filePath = new java.io.File("files/photo.jpg");
FileContent mediaContent = new FileContent("image/jpeg", filePath);
File file = driveService.files().create(fileMetadata, mediaContent)
    .setFields("id")
    .execute();
System.out.println("File ID: " + file.getId());

For the specific mime type of a txt file, you might need to refer this StackOverflow post (text/plain). For specific Google applications mime types, please see documentation.
