First, let's clear the confusion here. Your original question refers to a demo that uses the original RESTful API (aka DriveSDKv2), where Simple Plan mentions a different API, the new Google Drive Android API (GDAA).

The GDAA, does not have the full functionality at the moment, but it can be combined with the DriveSDKv2 to supplement what's missing (delete, description, indexable, ...). On the other hand, the GDAA takes care of all synchronization, offline and caching issues. You just create, retrieve, update the files as if they were local and the magic of up/down synchronization is left to GDAA. And the missing functionality is promised soon.

If you decide to dive into GDAA, there are 3 demos available on Github at the moment:

  1. quick start
  2. full-blown demo
  3. trivial example with wrapper class to create, retrieve files/folders

Both demo and trivial examples have the create functionality with a text written to a file. If you pull any of them and step through, you'll get the idea.
