Retina iconLink with Google Drive API

Leave a Comment

I'm an getting a list of files in a folder. The response contains a iconLink for every file returned. This icon is 16x16 pixels.

Does anyone know a way to retrieve a retina image? Or another way to retrieve a bigger icon image?

The good news is although not officailly documented driver does have 2x resolution icons. The bad news is they have inconsistent file names; for example the icon you linked in the comments has a 32px version availabel here: ssl.gstatic.com/docs/doclist/images/mediatype/icon_3_pdf_x32.png

Now here is my soltion, it's not perfect but it will do the job for a while:

function getIcons($file_type) {      $icons = [         'pdf' => [             'icon' => 'icon_12_pdf_list.png',             'retina' => 'icon_3_pdf_x32.png'          ],         'document' => [             'icon' => 'icon_1_document_x16.png',             'retina' => 'icon_1_document_x32.png'         ],         'image' => [             'icon' => 'con_1_image_x16.png',             'retina' => 'icon_1_image_x32.png'         ],         'word' => [             'icon' => 'icon_1_word_x16.png',             'retina' => 'icon_1_word_x32.png'         ],         'text' => [             'icon' => 'icon_1_text_x16.png',             'retina' => 'icon_1_text_x32.png'         ],         'spreadsheet' => [             'icon' => 'icon_1_spreadsheet_x16.png',             'retina' => 'icon_1_spreadsheet_x32.png'         ],         'form' => [             'icon' => 'icon_2_form_x16.png',             'retina' => 'icon_2_form_x32.png'         ],         'audio' => [             'icon' => 'icon_1_audio_x16.png',             'retina' => 'icon_1_audio_x32.png'         ]     ];      return isset($icons[$file_type]) ? $icons[$file_type] : $icons['text']; } 

The reasion I say it will work for a while is that I'm asuming the _3_ in pdf icon file name for instance is the version number. So if Google updates it's icons again in the future this solution may brake.
