Apps Google Calendar API check Availability

[deathsonic18]

I am currently using the Quickstart Google Calendar API

I am trying to check if the events are marked as "free" or "busy"
The full code can Ben found here
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/quickstart/android

This is a snippet of the method which collects the event data

            private List<String> getDataFromApi() throws IOException {
           // List the next 10 events from the primary calendar.
            DateTime now = new DateTime(System.currentTimeMillis());
            List<String> eventStrings = new ArrayList<String>();
            Events events = mService.events().list("primary")
                    .setMaxResults(10)
                    .setTimeMin(now)
                    .setOrderBy("startTime")
                    .setSingleEvents(true)
                    .execute();

            List<Event> items = events.getItems();

            for (Event event : items) {
                DateTime start = event.getStart().getDateTime();


                if (start == null) {
                    // All-day events don't have start times, so just use
                    // the start date.
                    start = event.getStart().getDate();
                }
                eventStrings.add(
                        String.format("%s (%s)", event.getSummary(),

            }


            return eventStrings;
        }

I have looked inside the freebusy method within a calendar class

https://developers.google.com/resou.../api/services/calendar/Calendar.Freebusy.html

And tried creating "freebusy requests" and "freebusy" variables, linking them to each event and attempted to create a query

I have also tried using the "CalenderContact.Event.AVAILABILTY"
"CalenderContact.Event.AVAILABILTY_BUSY"
"CalenderContact.Event.AVAILABILTY_FREE"
However I personally think and these have nothing to with it

What do you think? Is there something wrong with my structure ? Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks for the link LV426

I have added some of the code inside the link, however for some reason the request is unable to to add the event.
The request only accepts "List <FreeBusyRequestItem>" which I have created, then the List is unable to store the event because it isn't an "List <FreeBusyRequestItem>"

private List<String> getDataFromApi() throws IOException {
    // List the next 10 events from the primary calendar.
    DateTime now = new DateTime(System.currentTimeMillis());
    List<String> eventStrings = new ArrayList<String>();
    Events events = mService.events().list("primary")
            .setMaxResults(10)
            .setTimeMin(now)
            .setOrderBy("startTime")
            .setSingleEvents(true)
            .execute();

    List<Event> items = events.getItems();

    List <FreeBusyRequestItem> get =null;

    for (Event event : items) {
        DateTime start = event.getStart().getDateTime();
        DateTime end = event.getEnd().getDateTime();

        FreeBusyRequest request = new FreeBusyRequest();

        request.setTimeMin(start);
        request.setTimeMax(end);

        FreeBusyResponse busyTimes;
        try {
            Calendar.Freebusy.Query query = mService.freebusy().query(request);
            // Use partial GET to retrieve only needed fields.
            query.setFields("calendars");
            busyTimes = query.execute();
            // ...
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // ...
        }

I've been trying to wrap my head around this for the past 2 days

What's the actual error? Do you get an exception? If so, post the stack trace from the Logcat

 

[deathsonic18]

The only error that is coming up is that it is return null values, the IO exception isn't catching anything
When I get the data from the event, i am getting information such as, "created on","creator","display name","email", "etag", "status" etc
