Re: understand date format

[Nick Caggiano]

Well, I guess it makes sense that the java API would return them this way, as it simple parses the XML. 

So, the system knows that my calendar is in EST (since it adds "-0500" to the time).  I assume that Google stores all times as GMT, or at least that's how I would do it :).  So it seems that the service is returning the time for the event that's stored in the database, and then concatenating the "-0500", but not actually doing the timezone correction (subtracting 5 hours first).

That's probably enough speculation for one night...

I created the event on the web UI ( calendar.google.com).  Then I just used the XML link under "Default calendar settings" to view the feed.  But the java API also returns timezones in this fashion.

Nick, what timezone did you specify when you sent the event?
