Rows add in Google Sheets v4 API - how?

Question

I have some troubles adding rows to a spreadsheet.

In short I do the next things:

• get current records from a spreadsheet
• create a new row object
• add the newly created object to the list of current records
• call update method to update records in a spreadsheet

My update code looks like this

UpdateValuesResponse updateResponse = this.mService.spreadsheets().values().update(spreadsheetId, _range, updateValueRange);

where updateValueRange is my new list of rows (of type ValueRange )

The question is the next.

I know that google api requires a ValueInputOption to be specified in the request. But what I do is a call of Google Sheets API method that doesn't require such a parameter as ValueInputOption .

Where should I set this ValueInputOption ?

Thank you all for your efforts to help me!

Answer 1

I have finally found the answer.

In order to set the value of ValueInputOption you can to use batchUpdate() method.

You can use it the next way:

BatchUpdateValuesRequest batchRequest = new BatchUpdateValuesRequest();
batchRequest.setValueInputOption("RAW");
batchRequest.setData(updateValueRangeList);

BatchUpdateValuesResponse updateResponse = this.mService.spreadsheets().
values().batchUpdate(spreadsheetId, batchRequest).
execute();

Answer 2

You set it to the result of update as in:

this.mService.spreadsheets().values().update(spreadsheetId, _range, updateValueRange).setValueInputOption("RAW");

hope this helps.
