private static void listTables(Bigquery service, String projectNumber, String datasetId) throws IOException {

    Bigquery.Tables.List listTablesReply = service.tables().list(projectNumber, datasetId);
    TableList tableList = listTablesReply.execute();

    if (tableList.getTables() != null) {

      List tables = tableList.getTables();

      System.out.println("Tables list:");

      for (TableList.Tables table : tables) {
         System.out.format("%s\n", table.getId());
      }
    }
}    

I think this will help us in this case :)
