Hi Michael,
Thanks again.
Are you saying there is no way to help the user subscribe to a public
google calendar via the new calendar api?
I am already subscribing using some example from Yaniv Inbar a while
back:
where ALERT_CALENDAR is "nyc.ale...@brooklynmarathon.com"
Is there a better, more supported way to do this?
Also what do you mean by using the browser? Can I make the calendar
visible and sync'ed via the browser?
Thanks,
Ralph
private void subscribeCalendar()
{
CalendarUrl url = CalendarUrl.forAllCalendarsFeed();
Log.i(TAG,"ADD NEW CALENDAR: " + url);
CalendarEntry calendar = new CalendarEntry();
//calendar should have something like setid of gdata api
calendar.id = ALERT_CALENDAR;
//calendar.title = "Test: " + new DateTime(new Date());
try {
calendar.executeInsert(transport, url);
AlertDialog builder;
try {
builder = MessageDialogBuilder.create(this, MESSAGE );
builder.show();
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
handleException(e);
}
}
