How to get a single GoogleCalendar CalendarEventEntry by its ID ?

Question

Hi there,

I'm trying to retrieve a single CalendarEventEntry from a Google Calendar by the event ID but I can't find the way to do it. It seems that the API doesn't provide a method for this, though it suggests to make a query to the feed calendar using Query. The drawback of this is that the ID is not one of the parameters considered.

I think that a possible way to achieve this would be to get the CalendarEventFeed associated with our calendar and then iterate over the resulting list of events as follows:

CalendarService service = new CalendarService(applicationName);
service.setUserCredentials(userName,password);
CalendarEventFeed myFeed = service.getFeed(feedUrl, CalendarEventFeed.class);
List <CalendarEventEntry> entries =  myFeed.getEntries();

for (CalendarEventEntry e : entries){
    if (e.getId().equals(id)){
       return e;
    }
    }

Do you know any easier and more straight solution to achieve this ??

Thanks in advance!

You can get the URL of the event by calling calendarEventEntry.getEditLink().getHref(). It is actually the url of the calendar plus the event id.

Take a look at the Data API Developer Guide for code samples.
