I am getting started with EWS Managed API 2.0 using https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn567668.
I would like to know how can I access Public calendar which has a name like "Pub Cons"?
How can I check if this calendar exists or not? How can I loop through all the public calendars?
I don't have much experience with Exchange. So, apologies if I can't provide much more information. Let me know if you need more info.
Update:
Exchange version: 2013 CU13
Public calendar is located in a public folder
Try to add this in your code:
Folder rootfolder = Folder.Bind(service, WellKnownFolderName.PublicFoldersRoot);
Here is another post on stackoverflow. Perhaps it will help.

I am currently using 1.24.x and using LoginForm class and FauxRequest to login the remote (and create it locally if it doesn't exist) but this feature is being removed in 1.27.x so I am forced to write with a new standard using AuthManager and SessionMamager. I also will be upgrading to 1.31 as soon as LTS version of it comes out.
While reading, AuthManager and SessionManager, I just can't understand how can I authenticate external users. I also looked at the extension pluggableSSO which uses PluggableAuth but can't understand it as well.
Can someone please point me to a straightforward example of how can I authenticate a user if I have a user id and user name? and if that user doesn't exist, how can I create one and authenticate them locally?
Thanks
If someone like me who is very new to MediaWiki, there is a solution for SSO called PluggableAuth and Auth_Remoteuser.
I picked PluggableAuth which is implemented based on AuthManager and it is very easy to integrate.
All we need is to define a global variable $PluggableAuth_Class and implement the following methods in it:
public function authenticate( &$id, &$username, &$realname, &$email, &$errorMessage )
public function saveExtraAttributes( $id )
public function deauthenticate( User &$user )
More information can be found on:

I am trying to get the collaboration for a given folder. In the Box sdk given on github the function is public Collaboration GetCollaboration(string collaborationId, IEnumerable fields = null). My question is how do i get the collaboration ID??? After reading the comments in [link] Is there any way to get all files and folder in box without knowing their id? I thought the ID of a given folder is to be given but when i provide that I get an exception "404 not found". Although my folder id "867049500" does have a collaboration enabled. Please see the image below
The official Windows SDK provides a method that will fetch the collaborations for a known folder:
var client = new BoxClient(...);
var collabs = await client.FoldersManager.GetCollaborationsAsync(folderId);
(Edited 8/29/14 to point to official SDK)
Rather than this i have been able to explore an alternative for this:
var boxManager = new BoxApi.V2.BoxManager(userToken);
From the above code you get the boxManager, and further:
var testFolder = boxManager.GetFolder(FolderID);
From the above code you get the Folder, and further pass it as shown below:
CollaborationCollection sampleCollabs = boxManager.GetCollaborations(testFolder, false, null);
It has worked out for me, so i am sharing the solution.
Using Python, the following can get the collaboration attributes.
Step 1 : Use get_collaborations() method which returns a collaborations collection
collaborations = client.folder(folder_id='Your_target_folder_id').get_collaborations()
Step 2 : Then iterate over collaborations to get the specific collaboration ID
for collab in collaborations:
collaboration_id = collab.id
The problem is similar to this post(Documents deleted using Google Docs API still visible in Google Drive can't really get it working with the solutions suggested. When we delete a file using delete() function, whether or not the file got deleted is not the question here, the problem is the file will always be visible in the web browser and can not even be removed manually. I was wondering is there a way to delete the file but also make it disappear in the web UI?
Thanks a lot.
In the v3 API, you should be able to delete a file by using its id. Don't forget to call execute() on the Delete object returned by service.files().delete().
import com.google.api.services.drive.model.*;
import com.google.api.services.drive.Drive;
Drive service = ...;
com.google.api.services.drive.model.File file = ...;
service.files().delete(file.getId()).execute();
I have used the following:
public static string DeleteFile(string id)
{
FilesResource.DeleteRequest request = DriveService.Files.Delete(id);
return request.Fetch();
}
I have emptied out my google drive several times using this function without issue. Let me know if this works for you.
FilesResource.DeleteRequest request = service.Files.Delete(fileID);
request.Execute();
heres the 2020 fix, v3 api.
P.S: If someone could tell me how to do syntax highlighting that'd be great.
I've successfully installed and run the Google Drive Quick Start application called DriveCommandLine. I've also adapted it a little to GET file info for one of the files in my Drive account.
What I would like to do now is save the credentials somehow and re-use them without the user having to visit a web page each time to get an authorization code. I have checked out this page with instructions to Retrieve and Use OAuth 2.0 credentials. In order to use the example class (MyClass), I have modified the line in DriveCommandLine where the Credential object is instantiated:
Credential credential = MyClass.getCredentials(code, "");
This results in the following exception being thrown:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkNotNull(Preconditions.java:187)
at com.google.api.client.json.jackson.JacksonFactory.createJsonParser(JacksonFactory.java:84)

at googledrive.MyClass.getCredentials(MyClass.java:239)
at googledrive.DriveCommandLine.<init>(DriveCommandLine.java:56)
at googledrive.DriveCommandLine.main(DriveCommandLine.java:115)
I've been looking at these APIs (Google Drive and OAuth) for 2 days now and have made very little progress. I'd really appreciate some help with the above error and the problem of getting persistent credentials in general.
This whole structure seems unnecessarily complicated to me. Anybody care to explain why I can't just create a simple Credential object by passing in my Google username and password?
Thanks,

* Update *
Ok, I've just gotten around the above error and now I have a new one.
The way I got around the first problem was by modifying MyClass.getFlow(). Instead of creating a GoogleClientServices object from a json file, I have used a different version of GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow.Builder that allows you to enter the client ID and client secret directly as Strings:
flow = new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow.Builder(httpTransport, jsonFactory, "<MY CLIENT ID>", "<MY CLIENT SECRET>", SCOPES).setAccessType("offline").setApprovalPrompt("force").build();
The problem I have now is that I get the following error when I try to use flow (GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow object) to exchange the authorization code for the Credentials object:
An error occurred: com.google.api.client.auth.oauth2.TokenResponseException: 400 Bad Request
{
"error" : "invalid_scope"
}

at googledrive.MyClass.getCredentials(MyClass.java:262)
at googledrive.DriveCommandLine.<init>(DriveCommandLine.java:56)
at googledrive.DriveCommandLine.main(DriveCommandLine.java:115)
Is there some other scope I should be using for this? I am currently using the array of scopes provided with MyClass:
private static final List<String> SCOPES = Arrays.asList(
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile");
Thanks!
I feel your pain. I'm two months in and still getting surprised.
Some of my learnings...
When you request user permissions, specify "offline=true". This will ("sometimes" sic) return a refreshtoken, which is as good as a password with restricted permissions. You can store this and reuse it at any time (until the user revokes it) to fetch an access token.
My feeling is that the Google SDKs are more of a hinderence than a help. One by one, I've stopped using them and now call the REST API directly.
On your last point, you can (just) use the Google clientlogin protocol to access the previous generation of APIs. However this is totally deprecated and will shortly be turned off. OAuth is designed to give fine grained control of authorisation which is intrinsically complex. So although I agree it's complicated, I don't think it's unnecessarily so. We live in a complicated world :-)
Your and mine experiences show that the development community is still in need of a consolidated document and recipes to get this stuff into our rear-view mirrors so we can focus on the task at hand.
Oath2Scopes is imported as follows:
import com.google.api.services.oauth2.Oauth2Scopes;
You need to have the jar file 'google-api-services-oauth2-v2-rev15-1.8.0-beta.jar' in your class path to access that package. It can be downloaded here.
No, I don't know how to get Credentials without having to visit the authorization URL at least once and copy the code. I've modified MyClass to store and retrieve credentials from a database (in my case, it's a simple table that contains userid, accesstoken and refreshtoken). This way I only have to get the authorization code once and once I get the access/refresh tokens, I can reuse them to make a GoogleCredential object. Here's how Imake the GoogleCredential object:
GoogleCredential credential = new GoogleCredential.Builder().setJsonFactory(jsonFactory)
.setTransport(httpTransport).setClientSecrets(clientid, clientsecret).build();
credential.setAccessToken(accessToken);
credential.setRefreshToken(refreshToken);
Just enter your clientid, clientsecret, accessToken and refreshToken above.
I don't really have a whole lot of time to separate and tidy up my entire code to post it up here but if you're still having problems, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Although, you are effectively asking a blind man for directions. My understanding of this whole system is very sketchy!
Cheers,
Brian
Ok, I've finally solved the second problem above and I'm finally getting a working GoogleCredential object with an access token and a refresh token.
I kept trying to solve the scopes problem by modifying the list of scopes in MyClass (the one that manages credentials). In the end I needed to adjust the scopes in my modified version of DriveCommandLine (the one that's originally used to get an authorization code). I added 2 scopes from Oauth2Scopes:
GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow flow = new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow.Builder(
httpTransport, jsonFactory, CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET,
Arrays.asList(DriveScopes.DRIVE, Oauth2Scopes.USERINFO_EMAIL, Oauth2Scopes.USERINFO_PROFILE))
.setAccessType("offline").setApprovalPrompt("force").build();
Adding the scopes for user information allowed me to get the userid later in MyClass. I can now use the userid to store the credentials in a database for re-use (without having to get the user to go to a URL each time). I also set the access type to "offline" as suggested by pinoyyid.
I have had this problem for some time now and I have seen others have it as well. It has to deal with posting your custom objects that you create in Open Graph to post with your application. I am having this problem primarily on all platforms, but right now let's say I am using Android. If someone has accomplished this in C# or on IOS or even in PHP please post your answer.
An Example:
I have an object that posts a meal to Facebook. Let's say its properties are the following.
mealName = "Lunch"
mealType = "Vegetarian"
mealLocation = "Somewheresville, OH"
Now I have another object in my Open Graph and it is called DailyFood. It has properties such as the following.
day = "12/01/2012"
meal = "MyCustomMeal" // This references a meal object
Now when I go to post that I try to do the following in Java.
//Build Meal
JSONObject mealData = new JSONObject();
mealData.put("mealName", "Lunch");
mealData.put("mealType", "Vegetarian");
mealData.put("mealLocation", "Somewheresville, OH");
Bundle params = new Bundle();
params.putString("day", "12/01/2012");
params.putString("meal", mealData.ToString());
AsyncFacebookRunner request = new AsyncFacebookRunner(facebook);
This is where I generate the following error code.
{"error":
{"message":"(#3503) is an invalid value for property
\"meal\" with type \"Reference\"","type":"OAuthException","code":3503}}
Now I know that it says OAuthException but I am able to post feeds to Facebook with this app just fine. If anyone else has experienced this error on any platform and has found a solution please post it here.
Thanks!
So the answer to this question is that you actually need a website available for your app to be able to reference what its posting to Facebook. In the docs, I at least, wasn't able to find out where this was noted.
according to this official video you must have the web application to post the action using open graph,no matter in which platform we are working android,ios etc
as it fetches the meta tags and properties from the web url only which works as refrence.
