Please refer the below thread from Google Documents List API Group and someone please suggest me a solution.

    Hi again Jags,

    Sorry, I missed one thing, you might be able to use the embed link, i.e. that link with rel http://schemas.google.com/docs/2007#embed. That will give you a link to embed the resource.

    Regards

    Hi Jags,

    Sorry, there is no real API there as such to do what you want to achieve. You should probably export it as a format that you can embed in your page.

    Regards

    Hi,

    Can someone help me in figuring out if there is an API available to use Google Docs Viewer where I want to upload a document and it should give me a Google Docs View Url for the document so that I can embed it in our website. Currently in Docs Viewer, the only option I find is viewing a publicly available document by passing the url for it as a param as in http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=xxxxxxxxxx. Is this the only way that I can view in Google Docs. Please someone assist if I missing something.
  If this isn't possible by Docs Viewer is it supported in Google Docs where I'll upload it to user's google account and thereafter even the author of the document should have just a VIEW only option for the document.

    TIA,
    Jagadeesh

Now can someone please provide me a Java sample code to set the 'xmlns' as 'http://schemas.google.com/docs/2007#embed' to the document entry. I am getting an InvalidEntryException. com.google.gdata.util.InvalidEntryException: Invalid request URI GDatainvalidRequestUriInvalid request URI So please suggest me a possible solution to resolve this.
