You could use the google calendar api to insert it on the users calendar. You should be able to new up a CalendarService (the service var in the code snipplet) with the users user name and password then add an event with a method call like the below:

public CalendarEventEntry addEvent(String eventTitle, String eventContent, Calendar startCalTime, int durationMinutes, WebContent wc) throws ServiceException, IOException
    {
        CalendarEventEntry myEntry = new CalendarEventEntry();

        myEntry.setTitle(new PlainTextConstruct(eventTitle));
        myEntry.setContent(new PlainTextConstruct(eventContent));
        myEntry.setQuickAdd(false);
        myEntry.setWebContent(wc);

        DateTime startTime = new DateTime(startCalTime.getTime(), TimeZone.getDefault());

        startCalTime.add(Calendar.MINUTE, durationMinutes);
        DateTime endTime = new DateTime(startCalTime.getTime(), TimeZone.getDefault());

        When eventTimes = new When();
        eventTimes.setStartTime(startTime);
        eventTimes.setEndTime(endTime);
        myEntry.addTime(eventTimes);

        return service.insert(eventFeedUrl, myEntry);
    }

most of this code is taken from the samples in the google calendar api, and it will have much more information and useful source code.

Hi,

I'm really just a beginner and fiddling a little bit around with java
and my G1. I'd like to create a calendar event from the phone and
learned, that there is no Android API for the calendar - and I found this thread and some similiar code snippets.

So I tried that as a java program on my pc:

 com.google.gdata.client.calendar.CalendarService;
import com.google.gdata.data.DateTime;
import com.google.gdata.data.Person;
import com.google.gdata.data.PlainTextConstruct;
import com.google.gdata.data.extensions.EventEntry;
import com.google.gdata.data.extensions.When;
import com.google.gdata.util.ServiceException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;

public class TestMyCal {

       /**
        * @param args
        */
       public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException,
ServiceException {
       // Set up the URL and the object that will handle the
connection:
               URL postUrl = new URL("[URL="http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/MYEMAIL/private/full"]http://www.google.com/calendar/
feeds/MYEMAIL/
private/full[/URL]");
       CalendarService myService = new CalendarService("exampleCo-
exampleApp-1");
               myService.setUserCredentials("MYNAME", "MYPASSWORD");

       EventEntry myEntry = new EventEntry();

       myEntry.setTitle(new PlainTextConstruct("My test event"));
       myEntry.setContent(new PlainTextConstruct("It might work."));

       Person author = new Person("It's me", null, "[EMAIL="me@home.com"]me@home.com[/EMAIL]');
       myEntry.getAuthors().add(author);

       DateTime startTime = DateTime.parseDateTime
("2009-04-08T15:00:00-08:00");
       DateTime endTime = DateTime.parseDateTime
("2009-04-08T17:00:00-08:00");
       When eventTimes = new When();
       eventTimes.setStartTime(startTime);
       eventTimes.setEndTime(endTime);
       myEntry.addTime(eventTimes);

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

}

It works, great. I find that entry in my calendar. Now I tried to put that into a Android application:

 package com.android.hello;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.google.gdata.client.calendar.CalendarService;
import com.google.gdata.data.DateTime;
import com.google.gdata.data.Person;
import com.google.gdata.data.PlainTextConstruct;
import com.google.gdata.data.extensions.EventEntry;
import com.google.gdata.data.extensions.When;
import com.google.gdata.util.AuthenticationException;
import com.google.gdata.util.ServiceException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
   /** Called when the activity is first created. */
   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       // Set up the URL and the object that will handle the
connection:
       URL postUrl = null;
               try {
                       postUrl = new URL("[URL="http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/MYEMAIL/private/full"]http://www.google.com/
calendar/feeds/MYEMAIL/
private/full[/URL]");
               } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                       // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                       e.printStackTrace();
               }

       CalendarService myService = new CalendarService("exampleCo-
exampleApp-1");
               try {
                       myService.setUserCredentials("MYNAME",
"MYPASSWORD");
               } catch (AuthenticationException e) {
                       // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                       e.printStackTrace();
               }

       EventEntry myEntry = new EventEntry();

       myEntry.setTitle(new PlainTextConstruct("My test event"));
       myEntry.setContent(new PlainTextConstruct("It might work."));

       Person author = new Person("It's me", null, "[EMAIL="me@home.com"]me@home.com[/EMAIL]');
       myEntry.getAuthors().add(author);

       DateTime startTime = DateTime.parseDateTime
("2009-04-08T15:00:00-08:00");
       DateTime endTime = DateTime.parseDateTime
("2009-04-08T17:00:00-08:00");
       When eventTimes = new When();
       eventTimes.setStartTime(startTime);
       eventTimes.setEndTime(endTime);
       myEntry.addTime(eventTimes);

               try {
                       EventEntry insertedEntry = myService.insert
(postUrl, myEntry);
               } catch (IOException e) {
                       // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                       e.printStackTrace();
               } catch (ServiceException e) {
                       // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                       e.printStackTrace();
               }

       setContentView(R.layout.main);
   }
}

The program just runs fine, no errors (not using the emulator, not
using the G1) - but there is no calendar entry anywhere.

Any pro out there who can give me a hint, what I am doing wrong?

Greetings,

Well, I learned that the Google Api won't work with Android. I tried several workarounds found on the web, but with no success.

Since there is no native Android calendar API and the "normal" Google API doesn't work I see no way for me to add a calendar entry.Hmmm...

Anybody any hint?

 

[Graham]

Is the Calendar app closed source?
It doesn't appear to be installed on the emulator - can that mean there will never be an API for it?
