What's the least painful and most size efficient way to use the Google Data APIs in an Android application?

After a few quick searches t seems that there is an android-gdata project on Google Code that seems to be the work of a single author. I didn't find any documentation for it and don't even know if it's production ready yet.

An older option, the com.google.wireless.gdata package seems to have been removed from the SDK. It's still available in the GIT repository.

Before I invest too much time with either approach I'd like to know which is the best supported and least painful.

I also looked at the google-code project and the git repo. I steered away from the google-code project due to the apparent baggage that came along in required projects. I ended up creating custom implementations as necessary to adapt the standard java API. You can find a rough description of my solution in the android-developers group. It is 4 short, easily tested classes

Please try Google SpreadSheet API for Android

I am maintaining this project on Google Code, so if you face any problem, kindly let me know.

I used this API

I tried converting it to a .jar, but had problems. I found it easy to mark the project as a library project and then used it in my main project.
