Hi Austin
Thanks for the reply. Well, the behaviour I observe is repeateable and
consistent, and provoked only by changing the class type from EventEntry to
CalendarEventEntry.
Just to be certain, though, I have pasted in your code and tried it.
Unfortunately, it didn't get as far as making an event - it crashes on my
trying to run it, with the following in the stack-trace as the proximate
cause:
**root cause**
java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid date/time format.
com.google.gdata.data.DateTime.parseDateTime(Unknown Source)
with the line number corresponding to your line:
DateTime startTime = DateTime.parseDateTime("2008-04-07");
- it appears that this is not a valid way to generate DateTime objects!
This does surface an interesting related behaviour, though - it seems that
if the date string used to generate DateTime objects is generated from a
valid-but-untenable date-string (eg 2008-25-25T21:00:00-00:00, or
2008-04-25T21:00-00:00) the dateTime is generated and the event insert
apparently succeeds, but the inserted event is both invisible to a query and
does not appear in the google UI - ie the insert method fails silently in
producing a valid event. The net effect of these is to produce something
similar to what I am seeing with the EventEntry/CalendarEventEntry
phenomenon, but I have checked and I am as far as I know using valid
date-time strings (eg of the form yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss-hh:mm) . This might
be worth your testing team taking a look at - definitely worth adding a
unit-test for, I think.
Anyway, I digress - I still have a problem. In case it helps, I have pasted
in below the XML for two events below - the first one is not visible in the
UI, the second is. Any further ideas?
Cheers!
Jeremy
