For writing to Google

Answer 1

I was having the same issue. I resolved the problem that was in the scope. I just changed

SheetsScopes.SPREADSHEETS.READONLY

To

 SheetsScopes.SPREADSHEETS

And it works very well.

Answer 2

Apparently there were several issues together:

1. Delete credentials that were stored at /Users/XXX/.credentials.
2. Change Scopes to SheetsScopes.SPREADSHEETS.
3. Google Sheet Share and Edit options at on Sheet itself.

Now it works! Thank you guys for help

Answer 3

Try replacing "Sheet1!A4:H" with A4:H

Answer 4

The Java API must be used in an interactive way, if you're running this on a server that can't pop up a web-browser (which will let you approve an OAuth dialog), then the authentication flow doesn't get proper credentials and won't work.

While running this, do you see a browser pop up to approve an OAuth dialog? If not, you're likely running in a headless session and will need some other means to get the user's credentials.
