  2. Google's GData API doesn't work for android and there are limitations. You can try-

  3. thank you! i have downloaded and i am into your lib now. I am trying to getAllSpreadSheets() but it returns null (I have put my email address and password correctly); is there any other thing i have to do?
    Also, I would like to know if I have to put these operations in a separate thread , from the main activity (is it blocking?)

  4. Again I have to ask you a question (the previous problem was because I didn't declare the permissions in manifest). I am trying to get the content of a worksheet (where previously I inserted information), and the HashMap corresponding to each record's data comes back with empty key-set,and I can't retrieve any value for the rows... I did as in your sample but it doesn't work..

  6. Yogen, it will be placed at the same directory from where you executed the Tool (unless there is some error in parsing or file creation)
