Answer 1

I looked for ways to accomplish this and found it. I followed the instructions at https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2ServiceAccount

You need a new OAuth Client ID and set it up as an "Service account" in the Developers Console - APIs & auth - Credentials, and then download the P12 key.

You also need to change the Permissions of the service account to "Is owner" from the Developers Console.

Then change the code

Credential credential = Auth.authorize(scopes, "uploadvideo");

to

GoogleCredential credential = new GoogleCredential.Builder()
.setTransport(httpTransport)
.setJsonFactory(JSON_FACTORY)
.setServiceAccountId(emailAddress)
.setServiceAccountPrivateKeyFromP12File(new File("MyProject.p12"))
.setServiceAccountScopes(Collections.singleton(SQLAdminScopes.SQLSERVICE_ADMIN))
.setServiceAccountUser("user@example.com")
.build();

as specified in the URL above. emailAddress is the email address from the service account, the P12 filename must be changed, Collections.~~~ should be changed to scopes (the premade one in the original example), finally the serviceAccountUser should be your original Gmail ID.

I succeeded with the above method, hope it helps.
