How to get data directly from google spreadsheet?
I need an android app to connect ALWAYS to the same google spreadsheet to get cell data (which I will change every day in the future so the app can get updated data without using a server).
In the documentation https://developers.google.com/google-apps/spreadsheets/?hl=it#ListFeeds it showed how to authenticate, etc., but I needed to connect to an open spreadsheet using a direct link like
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=xxx ....
Is it possible?

Perhaps James Moore's code can be used as an example http://blog.restphone.com/2011/05/very-simple-google-spreadsheet-code.html
Remember, you need to add manually to the File-> Publish to Internet table
package com.banshee;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import com.google.gdata.client.spreadsheet.SpreadsheetService;
import com.google.gdata.data.spreadsheet.CustomElementCollection;
import com.google.gdata.data.spreadsheet.ListEntry;
import com.google.gdata.data.spreadsheet.ListFeed;
import com.google.gdata.util.ServiceException;
public class SpreadsheetSucker {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpreadsheetService service = new SpreadsheetService("com.banshee");
try {
// Notice that the url ends
// with default/public/values.
// That wasn't obvious (at least to me)
// from the documentation.
String urlString = "https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/0AsaDhyyXNaFSdDJ2VUxtVGVWN1Yza1loU1RPVVU3OFE/default/public/values";
// turn the string into a URL
URL url = new URL(urlString);
// You could substitute a cell feed here in place of
// the list feed
ListFeed feed = service.getFeed(url, ListFeed.class);
for (ListEntry entry : feed.getEntries()) {
CustomElementCollection elements = entry.getCustomElements();
String name = elements.getValue("name");
System.out.println(name);
String number = elements.getValue("Number");
System.out.println(number);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ServiceException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
