Cursor cur = null;
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Uri uri = CalendarContract.Calendars.CONTENT_URI;
String selection = "((" + CalendarContract.Calendars.ACCOUNT_NAME + " = ?) AND ("

String[] selectionArgs = new String[] {name, "com.google", name};
cur = cr.query(uri, EVENT_PROJECTION, selection, selectionArgs, null);
cur.moveToNext();
long calID = 0;
String displayName = null;
String accountName = null;
String ownerName = null;
// Get the field values
calID = cur.getLong(PROJECTION_ID_INDEX);
displayName = cur.getString(PROJECTION_DISPLAY_NAME_INDEX);

int i = 0;
List<Date> laststart = new ArrayList<Date>();
List<Date> lastend = new ArrayList<Date>();
boolean equal=false;
for (Map.Entry<String, ArrayList<CalendarEntry>> item : calendarEntriesByDay.entrySet()) {
for (CalendarEntry entry : item.getValue()) {
for(int j=0;j<laststart.size();j++)
{
if(laststart.get(j) == entry.getStart()){
if(lastend.get(j) == entry.getEnd()){
equal=true;
}
}
}
if(equal==false) {
createEventOnCalendar(calID, entry);
i++;
}
else
{
equal=false;
}
laststart.add(entry.getStart());
lastend.add(entry.getEnd());
}
}
if (i > 0) {
Crouton.makeText(this, getResources().getString(eu.rerisoft.servicebus.R.string.google_calendar_add_success, displayName, String.valueOf(i)), Style.ALERT).show();
} else {
Crouton.makeText(this, eu.rerisoft.servicebus.R.string.google_calendar_add_error, Style.ALERT).show();
}
}

Sorry for bad english.

I have done same thing before 3 months:
String appointmentColorCode = "Color_which_Is_Currently_Getting_From_Calendar";
int mColorCode = 0;
mColorCode = (0xff000000 + Integer.parseInt(appointmentColorCode));
You have to give Color_which_Is_Currently_Getting_From_Calendar as you are getting from calendar.
mColorCode will be your final Color code.'
Done

Android CalendarProvider query provides strange start and end times

So when I query the CalendarProvider for a list of events for my personal calendar, I'm getting some really strange start and end times. For example I see a result in the query that is 1970-01-13, but in my Google Calendar app it appears properly as 2015-02-01. All the events I got as a result have strange times like this.
My query is below.
String[] mProjection = new String[]{
Events.CALENDAR_ID,
Events.ORGANIZER,
Events.TITLE,
Events.DTSTART,
Events.DTEND,
Events._ID
};
ContentResolver cr = getActivity().getContentResolver();
Uri uri = Events.CONTENT_URI;
String selection = Events.CALENDAR_ID + " = ?";
String[] selectionArgs = new String[] {"2"};
Cursor cur = cr.query(uri, mProjection, selection, selectionArgs, null);
Log.i(TAG, "events " + cur.getCount());
TextView textView = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.dummy_text);
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
int calID = cur.getInt(0);
String organizer = cur.getString(1);
String title = cur.getString(2);
int start = cur.getInt(3);
int end = cur.getInt(4);
int event_id = cur.getInt(5);
Calendar startCal = Calendar.getInstance();
startCal.setTimeInMillis(start);
Calendar endCal = Calendar.getInstance();
endCal.setTimeInMillis(end);
Here's my code for converting the times to be readable.
public static String getHumanDate(int year, int month, int dayOfMonth) {
String monthZero = "";
String dayOfMonthZero = "";
if ((month + 1) < 10)
monthZero = "0";
if (dayOfMonth < 10)
dayOfMonthZero = "0";
return year + "-" + monthZero + (month + 1) + "-" + dayOfMonthZero + dayOfMonth;
}

Figured it out. Should have used
long start = cur.getLong(3);
long end = cur.getLong(4);
Rather than int.

Account Name in Calendar Android getting gmail automatically

I found this article very useful http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/calendar-provider.html#query?
But here i found the ACCOUNT_NAME queried in the calendar is being written statically
I am stuck here Since my problem is ..what if i want user's gmail address through some query
i.e not statically specifying the address rather getting it through some code
PS: i am very newbie to android. Apologies if this ones a stupid question

How to read events for a particular date from native calendar

Im trying to read native calender events from my app(ICS and above) but sometimes it works and some times it shows some incorrect values.Currently i'm using this piece of code can anyone please tell me where i'm going wrong..
Uri.Builder builder = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/instances/when").buildUpon();
long now = new Date().getTime();
ContentUris.appendId(builder, now);
ContentUris.appendId(builder, now + DateUtils.YEAR_IN_MILLIS);
Cursor eventCursorr = cr.query(builder.build(),
new String[] { "title", "begin","description"}, "Calendars._id=" + calID,
null, "startDay ASC, startMinute ASC");
while (eventCursorr.moveToNext()) {
final String titler = eventCursorr.getString(0).trim();
final Date beginr = new Date(eventCursorr.getLong(1));
final String descriptionr = eventCursorr.getString(2).trim();
SimpleDateFormat sdfrr = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
String stimesr = sdfrr.format(beginr);
System.out.println("titler "+titler +"stimesr "+stimesr +"descriptionr "+descriptionr );
}
}

i solved it guys.
//StartTime
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
Date dateCC = formatter.parse("04/27/2013");
Calendar calendarStartDate = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTime(dateCC);
//EndTime
SimpleDateFormat formatterr = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy hh:mm:ss");
Calendar endOfDay = Calendar.getInstance();
Date dateCCC = formatterr.parse("04/27/2013 23:59:59");
endOfDay.setTime(dateCCC);
Cursor eventCursorr = cr.query(l_eventUri,
new String[] {
"title", "dtstart", "dtend"
}, "(" + dtstart + ">" + after + " and " + dtend + "<" + endOfDay.getTimeInMillis() + ")",
null, "dtstart ASC");
while (eventCursorr.moveToNext()) {
final String titler = eventCursorr.getString(0).trim();
final Date beginr = new Date(eventCursorr.getLong(1));
final String descriptionr = eventCursorr.getString(2).trim();
}

How to add reminder in calendar

Hi i am implementing birthday reminder app on android. please tell me what is the procedure to set reminder on calendar. I have obtained the calendar in android .

You can use this for adding events in the Android Calendar.
GregorianCalendar startDate = new GregorianCalendar(Locale.ENGLISH);
startDate = CustomDateFormatter.formatScheduleDate(schedule.getScheduleStartDate());
GregorianCalendar endDate = new GregorianCalendar(Locale.ENGLISH);
endDate = CustomDateFormatter.formatScheduleDate(schedule.getScheduleEndDate());
try{
String[] projection = new String[] { "_id", "name" };
Uri calendars = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/calendars");
Cursor managedCursor = mContext.getContentResolver().query(calendars, projection, "selected=1", null, null);
ContentValues event = new ContentValues();
long StartTime = startDate.getTimeInMillis();
long EndTime = endDate.getTimeInMillis();
// int nameColumn = managedCursor.getColumnIndex("name");
int idColumn = managedCursor.getColumnIndex("_id");
if(managedCursor.moveToFirst()){
// String calName = managedCursor.getString(nameColumn);
String calId = managedCursor.getString(idColumn);
// Log.e("Cal name", calName);
event.put("calendar_id", calId);
event.put("title", schedule.getScheduleType());
event.put("description", schedule.getScheduleTextContent());
event.put("dtstart", StartTime );
event.put("dtend", EndTime);
event.put("hasAlarm", 1);
Uri eventsUri = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events");
Uri calUri = mContext.getContentResolver().insert(eventsUri, event);
Uri remindersUri = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/reminders");
event = new ContentValues();
event.put("event_id", Long.parseLong(calUri.getLastPathSegment()));
// Log.d("Event ID: ", calUri.getLastPathSegment());
event.put("method",1);
event.put("minutes",0);
mContext.getContentResolver().insert(remindersUri, event);
}
managedCursor.close();
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
