    <p>Is there any way for the Google Calendar to simply provide me with the name of the day of the week on which an event occurs? For instance, if I retrieve a list of events within a range of dates, like this: </p> <pre><code>events = service.events().list(calendarId='primary', timeMin='2012-12-24T00:00:00Z', timeMax='2012-12-30T23:59:59Z').execute() </code></pre> <p>Is there any way to look up a particular event within that list and find out what day it's on? Right now I'm using an awkward hack involving the 'date' and 'dateTime' in the Google Calendar API combined with Python's calendar module: </p> <pre><code>for calendar_list_entry in events['items']: try: year, month, day = calendar_list_entry['start']['date'].split('-') dayNum = calendar.weekday(int(year), int(month), int(day)) print dayNum dayName = createDayName(dayNum) dayDict[dayName].append(calendar_list_entry['summary']) print dayDict[dayName] except: print calendar_list_entry['start']['dateTime'][:10].split('-') year, month, day = calendar_list_entry['start']['dateTime'][:10].split('-') dayNum = calendar.weekday(int(year), int(month), int(day)) print dayNum dayName = createDayName(dayNum) dayDict[dayName].append(calendar_list_entry['summary']) print dayDict[dayName] </code></pre> <p>the createDayName function is simple:</p> <pre><code>def createDayName(dayNum): ''' Takes as input a number generated from calendar.weekday and outputs the weekday name that is associated with that number. ''' dayNameList = ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'] return dayNameList[dayNum] </code></pre> <p>Surely there is a less cumbersome way to do this? I also run into serious problems for events spanning multiple days, i.e., Thursday-Saturday. I realize I could do some ridiculous math to split the days up, but there must be a better way for such a simple operation. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
