Can't insert all day event

[mdecaro]

Using the sources.  Am unable to insert an all day vent.  Not using 'GD' methods as I have seen in some older posts, but 'GTL'.

I can insert a timed event without problems.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Greg Robbins]

For all-day events, be sure the start and end times specify no time:

startDateTime.hasTime = NO;

endDateTime.hasTime = NO;

All-day events are mentioned at

https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/events/insert

Incidentally, the discussion group for the JSON-based library is at http://groups.google.com/group/google-api-objectivec-client

I tried that and it did not work.  Otherwise followed the lead shown in the SampleCode

[Greg Robbins]

The calendar start and end objects, GTLCalendarEventDateTime, have separate fields for date-time objects with and without times. So to specify an event being all day, the fields with times should be nil:

  GTLDateTime *startDateTime = [GTLDateTime dateTimeWithDate:... timeZone:...];

  startDateTime.hasTime = NO;

  GTLDateTime *endDateTime = [GTLDateTime dateTimeWithDate:... timeZone:...];

  endDateTime.hasTime = NO;

  newEvent.start.dateTime = nil;

  newEvent.start.date = startDateTime;

  newEvent.end.dateTime = nil;

  newEvent.end.date = endDateTime;

It simply doesn't work.  Here is the code:

    GTLCalendarEvent *calEvent = [GTLCalendarEvent object];

    calEvent.summary = @"This is a test";

    calEvent.start = [GTLCalendarEventDateTime object];

    calEvent.end = [GTLCalendarEventDateTime object];

    calEvent.start.date = [GTLDateTime dateTimeWithDate:dt1 timeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]];

    calEvent.start.date.hasTime = NO;

    calEvent.end.date = [GTLDateTime dateTimeWithDate:dt2 timeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]];

    calEvent.end.date.hasTime = NO;

    calEvent.start.dateTime = nil;

    calEvent.end.dateTime = nil;

    calEvent.reminders = [GTLCalendarEventReminders object];

    calEvent.reminders.useDefault = [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES];

[mdecaro]

Forgot this:

    NSDate *dt1,*dt2;

    dt1 = [NSDate date];

    dt2 = [dt1 dateByAddingTimeInterval:24.0 * 60 * 60];

Put the GTLDateTimes into a local and set hasTime before you set them on the event.  The way it works right now, the updates to the GTLDateTime after it has been set aren't captured.

    calEvent.start.dateTime = nil;

    calEvent.end.dateTime = nil;

    calEvent.reminders = [GTLCalendarEventReminders object];

    calEvent.reminders.useDefault = [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES];

That did it!!

Thanks.

Thanks.  Setting the GTLDateTime in a separate statement then setting start.date to that worked.

That doesn't make sense to me based on what I thought I knew of obj-c!  Any idea why?  I experimented and did start.date = [[GTLDateTime dateTimeWithDate:dt timeZone...]  retain] to no effect.

The value is copied out of the GTLDataTime when you set it on the event, so updating it after the fact is being ignored.
