Google App Engine and Google Calendar API - google-app-engine

I was wondering if I need the Google java client libraries to access my google calendars from GAE. Are they part of the Google App Engine SDK by default?
Moreover I was not able to find a good example or tutorial which shows how to create, read, update and delete Google calendar events from an Google Cloud Platform app.
Thanks a lot, if you can offer same code examples or links to appropriate and working tutorials.

You're looking for the Google Java API client:
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/java/
This library isn't included in App Engine by default, but there are instructions on that page for how to install it. When you have it set up, here's the guide for using the calendar API:

Hope this helps!

Google Assistant API

Is there some google assistant api guide or tutorial? I cannot find anything related by these keywords. There seems have some Android app integration guide, but I want to integrate with my cloud service, not android app.
I find IFTTT have connected Google Assistant to several services, so I want to add some intents to my custom service.
I have built an Alexa app by using Alexa Skill Kit to handle my customize intent, and want to find something similar in Google Assistant developer playground, but I have no clue.
Thanks!
Google Assistant API was officially launched by Google for Windows, Mac, and Linux by which you can Get Google Assistant on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
If you wish to create voice applications for Google Assistant which are called as Google actions you will have to rely on the developers guide posted here
There is also an introductory course on udemy for the same.
I personally have used dialogFlow
and for the backend and I used firebase and have hosted a few apps into the store
Google Assistant will open its SDK to developers this December.
There's been a quite a lot of development on supporting the developer ecosystem, including the release of the Google Assistant SDK, app templates, and the ability to host and edit your integration via Firebase Functions.
For some code samples see
Conversational Components for Google Assistant
DialogFlow (previously Api.ai) v2 Samples

Does Google provide support for Google APIs for vaadin if not using google app engine as a runtime..?

I am new in vaadin and developing a web project so want to know if i do't use Google App Engine as my project's run time environment so that am able to use Google all APIs such as:
*Calender API
*Contact API
*Drive API
* and also other which google provide :
Google APIs
As i get to know that GAE has lot of limitations.
Please suggest me for the structure design of an Enterprise project with
Maven+vaadin+Runtime Environment(Jboss)+Eclipse+MySQL
Google APIs does not require your application to be running on Google App Engine unless of course you’re trying to use an App Engine specific API like this.
If you’re seeking suggestions on how to structure your project using Google App Engine, you may want to do so in official App Engine Google Group as such questions can be considered too broad on stackoverflow.

Google Cloud Messaging Library for Google App Engine

I've successfully implemented part of the process involved in sending push notifications : going from google app engine to google cloud messaging using just urlfetch.fetch ..
I have searched the web for libraries for this portion of the process that would be more robust out of the box than the simple implementation that I have, yet, google changed google cloud messaging about 2 months ago, and everything I've seen is much older than that.
Does a library exist for google app engine to talk with google cloud messaging, that isn't out of date?
Or, does anyone have any suggestions on things to look out for as far as going from your own server to gcm?

Google Cloud SQL Backend

I've started developing for GAE (Google App Engine) and I want to build a REST API using Google Cloud SQL. I currently have a web app in App Engine that works well with Google Cloud SQL but I need to build an API to provide REST services for Android and iOS or any other technology capable of consume web-services.
I've read many docs in Google about Mobile Backend Starter, Endpoints, etc. I'm not pretty sure how to integrate with my existing Cloud SQL Database. I think I'm almost near to get what I need.
If someone knows a tutorial or documentation to achieve what I need, please share it in here.
Thanks!
I've found what I needed!
If anyone tries to implement Google Cloud Endpoints using Google Cloud SQL, Python with Django, please follow this tutorial You will be able to build a RESTful API with your existing Django Models.
Also, here's a Youtube Video from GDL which explains very well how to use ProtoRPC for Python and build your Google Cloud Enpoints APIs. ProtoRPC is a framework for implementing HTTP-based remote procedure call (RPC) service.

Do I have to use App Engine to write glassware with Mirror API?

I am trying Python quickstart project (https://developers.google.com/glass/develop/mirror/quickstart/python) and it is implemented on GAE, however, looking at the code it does not seem that there is much dependency on App Engine itself (code is kind of complicated and I still do not understand it all though).
Is this required to host Mirror-based glassware on App Engine?
Is this required to host Mirror-based glassware on App Engine?
No, it is not required. What you really need is ability to use Google API's and Mirror API is just one of them.
Java quick start, for example does not run on top of GAE.
