Country Holiday list

Question

The requirement is to choose a country from a dropdown and display the list of holidays for the country chosen. Please let me know if there are any APIs that accomplish this.

Cursory search reveals a few options to do this. Just in case you don't want to do that: https://holidayapi.com/ — Imran Saeed, Mar 16 '17 at 11:28

You don't need to use any third party API for it, you can do it with google Calendar API like this

com.google.api.services.calendar.Calendar client = null;
    credential = GoogleAccountCredential.usingOAuth2(mContext, CalendarScopes.CALENDAR);
    credential.setSelectedAccountName(mList.get(0));
    client = getCalendarService(credential);
    do {
        com.google.api.services.calendar.model.Events events;
        events = client.events().list("en.usa#holiday@group.v.calendar.google.com").setPageToken(pageToken).execute();
        onHolidayChecked(events.getItems()); //result return here (events.getItems())
        pageToken = events.getNextPageToken();
    } while (pageToken != null);

 private com.google.api.services.calendar.Calendar getCalendarService(GoogleAccountCredential credential) {
    return new com.google.api.services.calendar.Calendar.Builder(AndroidHttp.newCompatibleTrans port(), new GsonFactory(), credential).build();
}

What is pagetoken here.. and also i don't have the method onHolidayChecked. — karthik, Mar 16 '17 at 11:25
define pageToken String, and onHolidayChecked() is method which will be called when user clicks on any item,so you can replace it with your method if you want, also please mark answer as accepted if it worked :) — Akshay Panchal, Mar 16 '17 at 12:01

Only solution I found is that to either add it statically in your string.xml

or

Try this API which google provides

1) Register a project at https://code.google.com/apis/console
2) Generate a Simple API Access key
3) Ensure Calendar API is activated under services.
