Send inputs from an Android App to Google Documents Spreadsheet

Question

my friend and I are currently making a simple Weather chance calculator android app for a summer project. The app currently works by asking the user for some inputs using some EditTexts (formatted in decimal numbers) that are then put into a simple formula and then a result is spit out.

What I want to do is take the user inputs and transfer them to a public Google Docs spreadsheet, so that EditText1 goes to cell A1, EditText2 goes to cell A2, ect.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Worked pretty well! I ended up migrating to a backend of my own with a real API, but this solution is fine for temporary arrangements. — Tanishq dubey, Feb 24 '17 at 04:47

Thanks for the update! Google Scripts are relatively new, so I am going to change the accepted answer to your's as it seems to be a more robust and futureproof method. – Tanishq dubey Dec 08 '17 at 15:26
