How to integrate with google Calendar?

Unable to integrate Google Calendar API in Android app

  • I've been trying for a few days to integrate Google Calendar in my Android app to little success. I've implemented the GData APIs, and used the code they've given for test purposes but keep getting a SAXParser error as below. All I need to do is to create new events in the user's Calendar. 01-23 19:10:40.420: WARN/XmlParser(28605): javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException: org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException:

URL("https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/<username>@gmail.com/private/full"); CalendarEventEntry myEntry = new CalendarEventEntry(); myEntry.setTitle(new PlainTextConstruct("Tennis with Beth"));

and receive the response: CalendarEventEntry insertedEntry = myService.insert(postUrl, myEntry); } Any idea what's causing the problem? Also, if anyone's got the Calendar API running, can they provide some help? Like I said, all I need is to add events (both single and recurring) Thanks!

  • Answer:

    GData API won't work on your android, use google api client, from here: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/wiki/Android instead. see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/524257/best-option-for-using-the-gdata-apis-on-android
