Is there a way to retrieve a "specified" google calendar using google calendar api?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
 It seems there is only api calls to retrieve either all calendars that 
user subscribed to or just the calendars that the user owns.  

Is there a way to retriev a particular calender that the user has access 
to? Thanks.

Can you elaborate? You can retrieve the list of calendars a user has access to 
and then use one of those entries 
to just retrieve that particular calendar. Isn't that what you want?

Yes, I currently know of 2 ways to retrieve a particular calendar the the user 
owns/have access to.  I was wondering is there is a way programmactically to 
retrieve a particular calendar by specifying some parameter value that would 
identify the calendar to retrieve.  The 2 methods I know are as follow:
1.  Retrieve all the calendar the the user has access/owns.  Loop through these 
calendar returned and identify the one calendar to retrieve.
2.  Copy the private xml calendar address form the Google Calendar web site, in 
the 
particular calendar's Calendar Setting.  Copy this into the code and I can 
retrieve 
extactly that calendar that I want.

Thank you.

The two methods you listed are pretty much the only two ways to retrieve a
calendar.

A user's primary calendar has it's ID set equal to that user's email address.
If you're accessing another user's primary calendar, you can predict the
calendar ID this way. However, all other calendars are assigned a
pseudo-random ID that can't be predicted.

We do not offer the ability to search through the calendar metafeed.

Calendar IDs do not change, so the good news is that after you've retrieved a
calendar once, you can cache the URL for future requests if desired.

I should note that if this is something you want to see added, you can submit a 
feature request for the Calendar 
Data API itself here:
