Reading data from Google spreadsheet using JAVA

System Requirements:

Eclipse Kepler Service Release 2

JDK 1.5 or above

Create a google spreadsheet – login to your google account and create a new spreadsheet, if you want to read existing one then put that url in SPREADSHEET_URL.

Once you create a new spreadsheet our url will be like – https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L8xtAJfOObsXL-XemliUV10wkDHQNxjn6jKS4XwzYZ8/  but don’t put this url in SPREADSHEET_URL, Use the below url simply change the bold part.

public static final String SPREADSHEET_URL = “https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/spreadsheets/1L8xtAJfOObsXL-XemliUV10wkDHQNxjn6jKS4XwzYZ8“; // Fill in google spreadsheet URI
