Apps Getting calendar events

[dhanala1710]

This is what I am trying to do. I want to build a app for a particular person and have a module inside the application which would populate all the events/shows that the person is scheduled to perform/performed. I have three approaches in mind - one is google api, another is android calendar and the third is using facebook page of that person. Which one would you think is the best approach? thank you guys.

Sample codes for getting events

Cursor instance_cur = null;

//selection
String instance_selection =

"("+Instances.BEGIN+"<"+now+ ")"+
"and" + "("+Instances.END+">"+now+ ")" ;

String[] event_projection = new String[] {
Instances.TITLE, //0
Instances.CALENDAR_DISPLAY_NAME, //1
Instances.BEGIN, //2
Instances.END, //3
Instances.ALL_DAY, //4
Instances.EVENT_LOCATION,//5

};

//find events in a week
Uri.Builder builder = Instances.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon();
ContentUris.appendId(builder, now- DateUtils.WEEK_IN_MILLIS);
ContentUris.appendId(builder, now+ DateUtils.WEEK_IN_MILLIS);

try{

instance_cur = cr.query(builder.build(), event_projection, instance_selection, null, null);

while (instance_cur.moveToNext()) {
String title = instance_cur.getString(0);
String calendarName = instance_cur.getString(1);
Date beginTime = new Date(instance_cur.getLong(2));
Date endTime = new Date(instance_cur.getLong(3));
String eventLocation = instance_cur.getString(5);

}
}catch(Exception e)
{

}finally {

if( instance_cur != null && !instance_cur.isClosed() )
instance_cur.close();
}
}
