I am trying to change the output date format for my google calendar code, but it cannot be used in SimpleDateFormater because it is a google api date, not the java version.
I did get it to work but eventually removed that code because it always returned null.
my app activity would display it as "(my event) on Null", where my event would update but the date always returned null.
Im not great at working with googles API and am newish to java, so any help will be appreciated!
Here is my code:
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.extensions.android.gms.auth.GooglePlayServicesAvailabilityIOException;
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.extensions.android.gms.auth.UserRecoverableAuthIOException;
import com.google.api.client.util.DateTime;
import com.google.api.services.calendar.model.Event;
import com.google.api.services.calendar.model.Events;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
/**

/**

public class ApiAsyncTask3 extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
private MainActivity mActivity3;
/**

*/
ApiAsyncTask3(MainActivity activity) {
this.mActivity3 = activity;
}
/**

* @param params no parameters needed for this task.
*/
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
mActivity3.clearResultsText();
mActivity3.updateResultsText(getDataFromApi());
} catch (final GooglePlayServicesAvailabilityIOException availabilityException) {
mActivity3.showGooglePlayServicesAvailabilityErrorDialog(
availabilityException.getConnectionStatusCode());
} catch (UserRecoverableAuthIOException userRecoverableException) {
mActivity3.startActivityForResult(
userRecoverableException.getIntent(),
BlockOrderGCalDaily.REQUEST_AUTHORIZATION);
} catch (IOException e) {
mActivity3.updateStatus("The following error occurred: " +
e.getMessage());
}
return null;
}
/**

* @return List of Strings describing returned events.
* @throws IOException
*/
private List<String> getDataFromApi() throws IOException {
// List the next 10 events from the primary calendar.
DateTime now = new DateTime(System.currentTimeMillis());
List<String> eventStrings = new ArrayList<String>();
Events events = mActivity3.mService.events().list("9sfoekroead5j1sb8aduqgvog4@group.calendar.google.com")
.setMaxResults(1)
.setTimeMin(now)
.setOrderBy("startTime")
.setSingleEvents(true)
.execute();
List<Event> items = events.getItems();
for (Event event : items) {
DateTime start = event.getStart().getDateTime();
if (start == null) {
// All-day events don't have start times, so just use
// the start date.
start = event.getStart().getDate();
}
eventStrings.add(
String.format("%s on %s", event.getSummary(), start));
}
return eventStrings;
}
}
