Question

Back again with the createdocsListDialog function 🙂

I’ve got it working however, I’d like to limit the files to be selected to be only spreadsheets.

“Error encountered: Cannot find method setInitialView(string). (line 13)”

The .setInitialView appears in the script editor as a method, but when running.. not so much. Here’s the code.

var doclisthandler = app.createServerHandler('selectionhandler');
var doclist = app.createDocsListDialog().showDocsPicker() .addSelectionHandler(doclisthandler).setInitialView('spreadsheet');

Any ideas?

From the code completion itself you can see that the setInitialView function does not expect a string as parameter, but a FileType constant. On the docs you can see it is called SPREADSHEETS.

Here is how it works:

app.createDocsListDialog().showDocsPicker().
  addSelectionHandler(doclisthandler).setInitialView(UiApp.FileType.SPREADSHEETS)
