Apps Unable to create calendar event

[pedjasmek]

I am trying to create a calendar event using this code:

ContentValues event = new ContentValues();

	        event.put("calendar_id", calId);
	        event.put("title", subject);
	        event.put("description", "");
	        event.put("eventLocation", "");

	        long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis() + 1000 * 60 * 60;
	        long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis() + 1000 * 60 * 60 * 2;

	        event.put("dtstart", startTime);
	        event.put("dtend", endTime);

	        event.put("allDay", 0); // 0 for false, 1 for true
	        event.put("eventStatus", 1);
	        event.put("visibility", 0);
	        event.put("transparency", 0);
	        event.put("hasAlarm", 0); // 0 for false, 1 for true

	        Uri eventsUri = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events"); 

	        Uri insertedUri = getContentResolver().insert(eventsUri, event);

but I am getting this exception : "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown URL content://com.android.calendar/events".
Can anyone tell what is the proper uri?Thanks

Make sure you've added this to you Android Manifest

<uses-permission
  android:name="android.permission.READ_CALENDAR">
  </uses-permission>
<uses-permission
   android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR">
   </uses-permission>

Also, try calendar.events instead of calendar/events

Still the same

 

[cr5315]

Try

content://calendar/events

or

content://calendar

I got that from
Jim Blackler Accessing the internal calendar database inside Google Android applications

Funny thing,I've just noticed that I don't have a calendar application in my emulator.Can anyone tell how add one?

You would need the .apk for the Android Calendar and then I think you would have to use the adb to push it to the emulator, but I'm not sure if that's right.

I tried to use calendar in my gmail profile because Google has the api for it.I managed to create an event there.

Actually you can get the fully working code from this site Android Codes: calendar http://android-codes-examples.blogspot.com/search/label/calendar
