Hi Kevin, I recommend you to check the following example: http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/docs/2.0/developers_guide_java.html#RetrievingGroup
You need get the groups feed for the contact and search for the Name/ SystemName "Contacts" on the Group Entries. Then, for the Entry matching the name you need to use ID groupEntry.getId() The ID will look like: http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/groups/julian%40juliantoledo.com/base/6 This ID is what you use on the groupMembershipInfo object to set the Href. For exmaple: GroupMembershipInfo groupMembershipInfo = new GroupMembershipInfo(); groupMembershipInfo.setHref(getGroupUrlByName(contactsService, "contacts")); contactEntry.addGroupMembershipInfo(groupMembershipInfo); public static String getGroupUrlByName(ContactsService myService, String groupName) throws ServiceException, IOException { // Request the feed URL feedUrl = new URL( "http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/groups/default/full";); ContactGroupFeed resultFeed = myService.getFeed(feedUrl, ContactGroupFeed.class); for (int i = 0; i < resultFeed.getEntries().size(); i++) { ContactGroupEntry groupEntry = resultFeed.getEntries().get (i); if (groupEntry.hasSystemGroup()) { if (groupEntry.getSystemGroup().getId().equals (groupName)) { return groupEntry.getId(); } } else { if (groupEntry.getTitle().getPlainText().equals (groupName)) { return groupEntry.getId(); } } } return null; } Important: My Contacts is actually only "Contacts" on the feed.
