Unable to integrate Google Calendar API in Android app

I've been trying for a few days to integrate Google Calendar in my Android app to little success. I've implemented the GData APIs, and used the code they've given for test purposes but keep getting a SAXParser error as below. All I need to do is to create new events in the user's Calendar.

The code I used for adding the event is:

void addToCalendar() throws IOException, ServiceException
    {
        CalendarService myService = new CalendarService("exampleCo-exampleApp-1");
        myService.setUserCredentials("<username>@gmail.com", "<password>");

    URL postUrl =
          new URL("https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/<username>@gmail.com/private/full");
        CalendarEventEntry myEntry = new CalendarEventEntry();

        myEntry.setTitle(new PlainTextConstruct("Tennis with Beth"));
        myEntry.setContent(new PlainTextConstruct("Meet for a quick lesson."));

        DateTime startTime = DateTime.parseDateTime("2011-01-26T15:00:00+05:30");
        DateTime endTime = DateTime.parseDateTime("2011-01-26T15:12:00+05:30");
        When eventTimes = new When();
        eventTimes.setStartTime(startTime);
        eventTimes.setEndTime(endTime);
        myEntry.addTime(eventTimes);

        // Send the request and receive the response:
        CalendarEventEntry insertedEntry = myService.insert(postUrl, myEntry);
}

Any idea what's causing the problem? Also, if anyone's got the Calendar API running, can they provide some help? Like I said, all I need is to add events (both single and recurring)

Thanks!

GData API won't work on your android, use google api client, from here: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/wiki/Android instead.

see: Best option for using the GData APIs on Android?
