Question

I would be shocked if this were immediately answered here, as this is a question specific to the Google Calendar Java API, but I ll put it out there anyway.

The tutorials for Google Calendar give a nice explanation of Calendar Insertion as well as Event Insertion. However, I would really like to create a calendar on my server, add events to it, and then insert the whole mess into my user s Google Calendar. Is this possible?

Here is the api for CalendarEntry... addExtension() looks suspicious, but I m clueless as to whether or not it does anything in Google Calendar.

Also, I am aware of the alternative solution to this:

Create the calendar
Insert the calendar
Create the events
Insert the events

...But this way is rather ugly.

Thanks, Carl

Be sure to read the section about batch requests

http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/data/2.0/developers%5Fguide%5Fjava.html#batch

I don t think there s an API for uploading an entire calendar full of events in one operation, your best bet is to do it in one or more batches. From the docs:

the size of the request must be under a megabyte and it s best to limit batches to 50-100 operations at a time
