Are you using a service account or Oauth2 kind of hard to tell with Java looks like oauth2 — Linda Lawton - DaImTo, Feb 17 '17 at 12:18

You are using a service account. What you need to remember is that a service account is NOT you. Service accounts have their own Google calendar account Primary is its primary calendar.

String calendarId = "primary";
event = getCalendarService().events().insert(calendarId, event).execute();

This is going to add an event to the Service accounts primary Google Calendar which you can not see visually on the web.

Have you tried doing a events.list from your code this should show you the events on the service accounts google calendar.

If you want to be able to see this visually I suggest you create a calendar on your own personal Google Calendar account and grant your service account access to it by sharing it with the service accounts email address.

when we create service account its asking name of service account and role of service account please suggest what we need fill there @DalmTo – Research Development Feb 17 '17 at 13:07
What ever you want I don't think it matters. – Linda Lawton - DaImTo Feb 17 '17 at 13:08
@DalmTo same thing i am doing event created with room A but when i try to create another event in same time then it show room A avilable while it should not display or its should strike with room A – Research Development Feb 17 '17 at 13:23
@DalmTo can u check my code if u have time or can provide some credencial so that i can check it – Research Development Feb 17 '17 at 13:25
I have checked your code it is probably working correctly. Have you tried doing an events.list from the service account to see if the event was inserted into its primary calendar? – Linda Lawton - DaImTo Feb 17 '17 at 13:26
where i will get Event.list from service account @DalmTo – Research Development Feb 17 '17 at 13:30
your code is authenticated as the service account just run the quest to list the events off of its primary calendar. There is an example for java on the page I have linked already. – Linda Lawton - DaImTo Feb 17 '17 at 13:40

Hi All after long search from google i found solution .

Steps to create event google event.

Step1: Set following scopes to authorise api.

Step2: While authorizing asks for permission to manage and view calendar , uses has to allow it . and which will generated authorization code.

Step3: Create access_token by generated authorization code

Step 4: Pass generated access_token to craete google event.

Java code to create google event

public static com.google.api.services.calendar.Calendar getCalendarService() {

        GoogleCredential credential = new GoogleCredential().setAccessToken(access_token);

        return new Calendar.Builder(HTTP_TRANSPORT, JSON_FACTORY, credential).build();

}

these steps Work for me block room while creating Event using Google calendar api.

i have tried with another way using service account in that case we are able to create event but not able to block room .
