Ah, but for a CalendarEntry object (from a Calendar that I created
manually via the Google Calendar website), when I do
myCalenderEntry.getTextContent()
... then I get an exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Content
object is not a TextContent
at com.google.gdata.data.BaseEntry.getTextContent(BaseEntry.java:314)
So the question goes back to: if the description wasn't saved as a
text content, then what type of content was it saved as, and how can I
retrieve the text?
