Android Facebook creating events using Graph ApI

Question

I am trying to create an event using Graph Api with the following code

 Bundle params = new Bundle();
 params.putString("name", "Super");
 params.putString("start_time", "2013-02-14T17:30:00");

 Utility.mAsyncRunner.request("me/events", params, "POST",
                             new EvenListener(), null);

But I am getting the following Facebook Error";#100 invalid parameter". What I have missed ?. Can you please help me out?

Answer 1

I believe your start_time is not a valid ISO-8601 format.

You need to specify the timezone offset.

edit: hrmmm it seems that facebook MIGHT actually still be accepting without the offset, but it is deprecated. It's possible you are working with a future version of the facebook sdk enabled that is stricter?

Although I don't think it is accepted for new invites anyway

"Local-time (deprecated, eg, '2012-07-04T19:00:00'): legacy events that do not have any timezone information. This format is deprecated, but continues to be returned due to legacy events that are still in the system."
