Hi Paul,
I've found the API quite interesting and I was even able to realize the
lightweight database back-end for android via google spreadsheets like it was
proposed here
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-api-java-client/O1CGZzEWRts
Also, I've noticed that a few features in the api would be highly useful, I
mean anonymous access.
1) So, I'd include the anonymous token support introducing a new public class
similar to "public class BasicAuthenticatorImpl". But instead of
"http.doConnect(GOOGLE_CLIENT_LOGIN_URL,....",
GoogleOAuthGetTemporaryToken() should be used,

Now the api is limited to google users only.
2) I didn't find the way how someone can use "Collaborator.geteditLink()" with
SpreadSheetFactory class. I mean that
SpreadSheetFactory doesn't have an interface to find "anyone" shared spreads.
3) I'm not sure if google spreadsheets api supports "anonymous" sharing, but
it's easy to insert support for "published to web" spreadsheets via
"https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/key...," where key is some public
id.
Here is an example,

That's all from side. I've developed a simple android application (spending
three days for introduction of myself to android programing and google api)
just for fun (to help a friend of mine with his student project). If my time
allows, I'll add 1) and 3) into
the current snip of "google-spreadsheet-lib-android", but it would be great if
you, Paul, could do it yourself.
Cheers,
