Hi Darren,

If all you want is a textual summary of the event information, you might choose the 'basic' feed projection instead (replace 'full' with 'basic' in the URL below). It will contain a generated content element that has the time, location, and description.

To access this content, the following code should work:

TextContent entryContent = (TextConstruct)searchEntry.getContent(); switch(entryContent.getContent().getType()) { case TextConstruct.Type.TEXT: PlainTextConstruct ptc = (PlainTextConstruct)entry.getContent(); // access plain text content break; case TextConstruct.Type.HTML: HtmlTextConstrut html = (HtmlTextConstruct)entry.getContent(); // access html content break; case TextConstruct.Type.XHTML: XhtmlTextConstruct xhtml = (XhtmlTextConstruct)entry.geContent(); // access content as html break; }

I believe that for the current implementation of Calendar basic feeds, you'll always fall into the Type.TEXT case, the above code just demonstrates how to handle all the various textual content types that Atom can support.

For completeness, the 'full' projection which you were using will include the various event attributes (location, time, etc) as XML elements within the entry. The EventEntry class provides convenience APIs for accessing this information. You can get an EventEntry from a 'regular' Entry via:

Entry entry = ... EventEntry eventEntry = new EventEntry(entry);

You can find more information about the various types of Calendar feeds and their content models here:

A detailed description of the 'full' event format can be found here:

http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/common-elements.html#gdEventKind

The Javadoc for EventEntry class might also be helpful. It can be found here:

I hope this helps.
