Version of google-api-java-client: All versions that I've seen of the Calendar API.

I'm using google-api-services-calendar-v3-1.3.1-beta.jar. Describe the problem. There is no documentation for how to build a string that represents the fields you want to retrieve. I've searched the internet for days.

The current documentation is useless. You may find it here: http://javadoc.google-api-java-client.googlecode.com/hg/apis/calendar/v3/com/google/api/services/calendar/CalendarRequest.html#setFields(java.lang.String) How would you expect it to be fixed? Google needs to provide a mapping from com.google.api.services.calendar.model.Event properties to the fields String. As well as for all the other retrievable objects that you can specify fields for.

In my experimentation, I've tried setting fields to "summary". You would think that would limit the content of returned events to just the summary. Actually, it prevents any events from being returned at all.

I'm flabbergasted at this omission. We all want to improve performance and Google recommends using setFields to do it. So let us know how.
