Can we access google survey forms through REST API for android

Question

Can we access google survey forms through REST API for Android and POST filled data in google survey through Android?

Answer 1

there is a java library here and it can be implemented like this:

Assuming you already have setup the survey API on your developer console.

You bind the library to your project:

implementation 'com.google.apis:google-api-services-surveys:v2-rev16-1.25.0'.

If you use Gson as your json parser, you need to exclude Jackson, since it comes with the survey java library. So then your gradle entry looks like this:

implementation("com.google.apis:google-api-services-surveys:v2-rev16-1.25.0") {
        exclude module: 'google-http-client-jackson2'
        exclude module: 'commons-logging'
        exclude module: 'httpcore'
        exclude module: 'httpclient' // excluding apache dependencies, too, since we don't need them.
    }

In order to use Gson with the survey API, you bind the gson google api client:

implementation "com.google.api-client:google-api-client-gson:1.28.0"

With that, you are able to execute your surveys through:

...

private void sendSurvey() {
    Survey mySurvey = new Survey().set("Hello", "World");
    new SendSurveyAsyncTask().execute(mySurvey);
}

...
private static class SendSurveyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Survey, Void, Boolean> {

        @Override
        protected Boolean doInBackground(Survey... surveys) {
            try {
                // using the NetHttpTransport here. You could even write your own retrofit transport for that, if you want.
                // See https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/java/google-http-java-client/android
                new Surveys.Builder(new NetHttpTransport(), new GsonFactory(), null)
                        .build()
                        .surveys()
                        .insert(surveys[0])
                        .execute();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                Log.e("SendSurveyAsyncTask", "oops", e);
                return false;
            }
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Boolean result) {
            if (result) {
                Log.d("SendSurveyAsyncTask", "whoo!");
            } else {
                Log.d("SendSurveyAsyncTask", "boo!");
            }
        }
    }

hope it helps :)
