Google spreadsheet quickstart example for Android (APIv4) doesn't work for me

I'm on a project to create an app on Android studio, to fetch data from a Google spreadsheet to work with it.
So I tried to work on it by trying the spreadsheet-quickstart for Android (Apiv4), on the Google documentation.
So I launch the quickstart app on my device.
But I've every time is displayed an error, when I launch my app on my device, especially when the program call the google sheet, and I can't connect to the sheet:
The following error occurred: null
I take a look on the program, retrieved where is that error to debug which is on the method onCancelled(). But I don't really understand some parts of the program is used, for example this method with "..." which seems have an important role to debug my error:
protected List<String> doInBackground(Void... params)
I followed perfectly the tutorial, working on Android Studio, started over 3 times, but always the same issue. I'm not confident at all with Java, and Android (first real app). That's why I need your help, to learn what I'm doing wrong.
I resume below the steps I followed, and the program I've done:
Retrieve my Sha1 FingerPrint on my computer (cmd.exe command)
Create my google spreadsheet
Activation of my Api for Android, and put my SHA1 fingerprint and the package I'll use for my app
Create my app as the tutorial said
Change the build.gradle (the good one) and Sync it
Change the AndroidManifest.xml:
Create my MainActivity.java, and replace with this code.
Build an apk, and transfer this one on my OnePlus3 (my Android phone) via USB.
Install this apk, and launch it.
Click on this button, log with my google account, display Calling Google Sheet Api, then stop it and display this error:
The following error occurred: null

UPDATE: Easier way to get the SHA1 key (compared to the link i've posted in my answer) - https://stackoverflow.com/a/34223470/7368208 - If it doesn't work, the answer linked below will definitely work
I had the same problem. This error occurs when the app is unable to sign-in i.e. invalid credentials. So the problem could be
Credentials not created (but you mentioned you did) so..
Credentials mismatch between app and developers console e.g. wrong SHA1 key
The issue I faced was that the SHA1 key obtained via keytool didnt match with the actual key used in the app. So first get the SHA1 key thats actually used in the app. Check this post to see how to get the SHA1 key used in the app. If its different from the keytool key then updating it in the developers console will solve your problem.

Trying this out on my actual device with the GPS already enabled in the settings, I get some odd behavior. If I do not at all, call the startLocationUpdates() method or I call it in the onRequestPermissionsResult() method, the app launches fine and when I grant Device Location Permissions, the mCurrentLocation object is null, but does not crash. I stop the app and then launch again, and the mCurrentLocation has latitude and longitude coordinates that I can see in the logcat, which is what I am wanting in the first place, but they only hold any values, after the second launch. Now if I uninstall the app and try to call the startLocationUpdates() method anywhere, the app crashes upon launch with the error:
Client must have ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission to request PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY locations.
But I am checking for permissions in the onConnected() method and also in the startLocationUpdates() method as well, although I do not think this is correct but this is the only way that I can get Android Studio to not underline the
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(
mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);
statement in red with a Permissions warning.
Here is the Activity where I am trying to get the location updates with the mapItBtnRespond() method.

What am I doing wrong here with all of this? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am confused with the Permissions apparently. Thanks so much for any guidance.

You are asking for FINE_LOCATION permission in onConnected(), but onConnected is called when GPS is connected. That's the reason you are getting permission error.
You should remove this:
mCurrentLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
From onConnected(). Add this to getCurrentLocation() with permission request:
public void getCurrentLocation(){
//Request permission here
mCurrentLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleApiClient);
if (mCurrentLocation != null){
lat = mCurrentLocation.getLatitude();
lon = mCurrentLocation.getLongitude();
Log.i(TAG, "getCurrentLocation(): " + String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLatitude()));
Log.i(TAG, "getCurrentLocation(): " + String.valueOf(mCurrentLocation.getLongitude()));
}
}
Then also call this method in onConnected():
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
Log.i(TAG, "Connected to GoogleApiClient");
getCurrentLocation();
}

Google Drive API and Android Studio - Uploading Video File from Android Phone to Users Google Drive

Google-API Start Activity as Service or hide Activity

I've got a problem with my Google-API Activity. I used the sample code from Google and changed some lines to fill on create an static int with my total mail count. So far so good, this works fine. Every time I have to update my mail_count value I execute the following code:
Intent intent2 = new Intent(getBaseContext(), MainActivity.class);
intent2.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startService(intent2);
This works fine, but the problem is that every time I start the activity it'll show up for some seconds. I really know that's the point of activities, but I didn't get how to use the GOOGLE-API Activity in my project to communicate in Background with the API and don't show up every time (after User has confirmed the access).
Here's my Google-API Activity Code (MainActivity):

However, I specifically need help on this part.
private List<String> getDataFromApi() throws IOException {
String spreadsheetId = "1PWNdgkcmKVbzWc2e0rc5XWlI7pkF7xaYK7JQcq8Feyg";
String range = "Sheet1!A2:B300";
// It is "WorksheetName!StartingCell:NextColumn Convert Letters into numbers, and find the value of the difference
List<String> results = new ArrayList<String>();
ValueRange response = this.mService.spreadsheets().values()
.get(spreadsheetId, range)
.execute();
List<List<Object>> values = response.getValues();
if (values != null) {
for (List column : values) {
results.add(column.get(0) + "");
// The last value must be 1 less of the value of the difference above
}
}
return results;
}
So what I have done is that I have an editText input field consisting of only numbers, and it's input is put into a public integer iString when I click a button.
Now, I have to declare SOMEHOW that Google Spreadsheets will search the first column(Column A) for iString. If it exists, then give the value of the adjacent column (Column B).
I know this was a bit long, but thank you for any particular insight or solutions you guys may have. Cheers!

Checking out the Reading & Writing Value section of the documentation, it doesn't indicate an easy way of retrieving the cell number of your use case. The spreadsheet.values.get API call will need the spreadsheetId and range, the request body only indicates a view VariableRenderOptions (formatted, unformatted, formula).
With this limitation, you can make use of the 2d array values from the response to check the array[x][0] if its the value of iString. Use that x value to update array[x][1] and call the update API.
Hopefully this could help you a bit for your scenario.
Happy coding!
