Hello Kyle,
I am also having problems here and I do not seem to bew able to get
the AccessLevel from the URL of the calendar. Here is the story:
1. A different Goog calendar user creates a calendar and shares it
with me so I am an editor
2. The user makes available to me both URLs; the private and public
address
3. I authenticate via the API and and do this:
myService = new CalendarService("AccessLevelCalendar");
myService.setUserCredentials(username, password);
new
CalendarFeed().declareExtensions(myService.getExtensionProfile());
calFeed = myService.getFeed(url, CalendarEventFeed.class);
In the case that I use the Public address the service throws a
ResourceNotFoundException. In the case that I use the Private address
then get getCanPost() returns false. However, if I login to the
service using an Internet Browser and use either the public of private
address the calendar is added correctly with the correct AccessLevel.
How can I get the access level from the same URLs via the API?
Any hint would be very much appreciated.
Jose
