Question

I’m trying to retrieve a list of events from a google calendar, using the Java api (jar version v3-rev9-1.7.0-beta)

This code works fine

Events e = service.events().list("primary").
                setMaxResults(3).
                execute(); 

where service is a Calendar object.

However, if I add a setTimeMin or setTimeMax parameter, like this

Date now = new java.util.Date();
Events e = service.events().list("primary").
                setTimeMin(new DateTime(now)).
                setMaxResults(3).
                execute(); 

it returns a failure message, “Bad Request”.

(note that as of this version, the setTime functions take a google DateTime object. I’ve also tried with the previous version of the jar, which takes a string, but received the same message).

So I was just wondering if anyone has successfully used these functions – perhaps they’re not supposed to be called in this manner? Is there a way to get more detail back on the error?

Thanks 🙂

Answer 1

DateTime startTime = new DateTime(new Date(), TimeZone.getDefault());
