How would you perform the same flow as the Google .Net sample at subsection "Performing OAuth 2.0", using an equivalent Java api?
That .Net sample I am trying to mimic using Java api seems fit for sending an api request to create an authorization url, then assumes I would use that url in a browser to obtain an access code... thus allowing server-side code to use google spreadsheets api thereafter, for that one google account.
The closet Google Java api class I spotted is OAuthHelper, but it seems to require the userAuthorizationUrl
at instantiation time, which is actually what I wish to obtain from it via its own createUserAuthorizationUrl method after I will have managed to instantiate it - a bit of a cyclic conundrum to me. Which seems to indicate I am missing something in my assumptions, probably this is not the right class to use for mimicking the .Net code sample.
Your help much appreciated.
Looks like http://soatutorials.blogspot.co.at/2013/08/google-spreadsheet-api-connecting-with.html has it for Java.

For scala however, you currently also need to apply this...
