How to add google calendar events to the Flutter event calendar?
In the Flutter event calendar, you can load the google events to Syncfusion® Flutter calendar by using OAuth Client ID.
STEP 1: Add the required packages in the dependencies of Pubspec.yaml.
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
syncfusion_flutter_calendar: ^18.3.40
intl: ^0.16.0
google_sign_in: ^4.4.6
googleapis_auth: ^0.2.11+1
googleapis: ^0.54.0
cupertino_icons: ^0.1.2
STEP 2: Create a sample and install the above packages in the sample. Now, need to get the SHA_1 key from Android folder. First open the Flutter project, then open the terminal and type the command in the terminal cd android. Now type the command ./gradlew signingReport to generate SHA_1 key.
Please find the SHA-1 Key value in terminal and copy the value.
STEP 3: Create a project in below google developers console link.
|
STEP 4: In Dashboard tab click “Enable APIS and services” and enable calendar API’s.
|
STEP 5: In Credential tab click the “Create Credential” option and click “OAuth client ID” option from the list.
|
STEP 6: Then specify the Application type, Package name, SHA-1 key (already copied from sample) value and create a project.
Application type: Android
Package name: Should be in AndroidManifest.xml file of the sample.
|
STEP 7: Call the GoogleSignIn method to authenticate Google users.
final GoogleSignIn _googleSignIn = GoogleSignIn(
clientId:
'OAuth Client ID',
scopes: <String>[
googleAPI.CalendarApi.CalendarScope,
],
);
STEP 8: Google provides googleAPI.Event class which holds the details about the google events and use these API’s in override methods.
class GoogleDataSource extends CalendarDataSource {
GoogleDataSource({List<googleAPI.Event> events}) {
this.appointments = events;
}
@override
DateTime getStartTime(int index) {
final googleAPI.Event event = appointments[index];
return event.start.date ?? event.start.dateTime.toLocal();
}
@override
bool isAllDay(int index) {
return appointments[index].start.date != null;
}
@override
DateTime getEndTime(int index) {
final googleAPI.Event event = appointments[index];
return event.endTimeUnspecified != null && event.endTimeUnspecified
? (event.start.date ?? event.start.dateTime.toLocal())
: (event.end.date != null
? event.end.date.add(Duration(days: -1))
: event.end.dateTime.toLocal());
}
@override
String getLocation(int index) {
return appointments[index].location;
}
@override
String getNotes(int index) {
return appointments[index].description;
}
@override
String getSubject(int index) {
final googleAPI.Event event = appointments[index];
return event.summary == null || event.summary.isEmpty
? 'No Title'
: event.summary;
}
}
STEP 9: To load the google events, create async method named as getGoogleEventsData() and get the data from google calendar using googleAPI.Event. Please find the following code snippet for the same.
Future<List<googleAPI.Event>> getGoogleEventsData() async {
final GoogleSignInAccount googleUser = await _googleSignIn.signIn();
final GoogleAPIClient httpClient =
GoogleAPIClient(await googleUser.authHeaders);
final googleAPI.CalendarApi calendarAPI = googleAPI.CalendarApi(httpClient);
final googleAPI.Events calEvents = await calendarAPI.events.list(
"primary",
);
Final List<googleAPI.Event> appointments = <googleAPI.Event>[];
if (calEvents != null && calEvents.items != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < calEvents.items.length; i++) {
final googleAPI.Event event = calEvents.items[i];
if (event.start == null) {
continue;
}
appointments.add(event);
}
}
return appointments;
}
STEP 10: Using the FutureBuilder widget, you can display the google calendar data. Based on the Snapshot.data, you can load that google calendar events to the Flutter calendar.
child: FutureBuilder(
future: getGoogleEventsData(),
builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot snapshot) {
return Container(
child: Stack(
children: [
Container(
child: SfCalendar(
view: CalendarView.month,
dataSource: GoogleDataSource(events: snapshot.data),
monthViewSettings: MonthViewSettings(
appointmentDisplayMode:
MonthAppointmentDisplayMode.appointment),
),
),
snapshot.data != null
? Container()
: Center(
child: CircularProgressIndicator(),
)
],
));
},
),
