适用于Google日历的Android中的OAuth 2.0令牌类型别名

Question

I'm developing an Android application which uses the AccountManager to get access to the User's Google Calendar. I'm using the Java Calendar API version 3. I have a working sample however the Authorization token type I use to obtain permission from the user is not human readable, currently I use:

    private static final String AUTH_TOKEN_TYPE = "oauth2:https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar";    

So I'm trying to find a human readable token type as this doesn't give the user a good indication of what permission they are giving to the application. There is an alias for Google Tasks as detailed in this blog post - 'Manage your tasks' is used. Is there a similar alias for Google Calendar on Android?

Answer 1

Try "Manage your calendars" if you want to view and manage the user's calendar. Otherwise use the less powerful "View your calendars" which gives you read-only access.
