Hah, I should have looked at the code. Yeah, my example writes the thing to disk. Thanks for the catch, Stephen!
The GData protocol is open source, so you can probably poke around and figure out what it actually does with the File instance. If you look at this code here: http://www.google.com/codesearch#EOYaOg_yTgg/trunk/java/src/com/google/gdata/data/media/MediaFileSource.java&q=mediafilesource%20package:http://gdata-java-client%5C.googlecode%5C.com MediaFileSource has a getInputStream() method that just turns the File into an InputStream *anyway*. You can probably create your own subclass of BaseMediaSource that takes an InputStream and just directly return that. -- Ikai Lan Developer Programs Engineer, Google App Engine plus.ikailan.com | twitter.com/ikai On Tue, Aug 23, 2011 at 2:42 PM, Stephen Johnson <[email protected]>wrote: > A File object isn't really the file, it's a reference to the file and you > can use it to get its associated metadata (permissions,size,etc.) The > example Ikai is referring to creates a new file on disk which isn't allowed > on AppEngine so this isn't going to work.
