I'm making a basic Dashclock extension that polls CalendarContract.Events for a list of all calendar events synced to the user's device, retrieve the one that's scheduled to happen the soonest, and post the time, title, location, and desctiption. Here's my code:
public class FullCalService extends DashClockExtension {
public static final String[] FIELDS = { Events._ID, Events.TITLE,
Events.ALL_DAY, Events.EVENT_LOCATION, Events.DTSTART,
Events.EVENT_TIMEZONE, Events.DESCRIPTION };
public FullCalService() {
}
#Override
protected void onUpdateData(int arg0) {
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
long currentTimeMillis = Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis() - tz.getRawOffset();
SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager
.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
Cursor c;
if (prefs.getBoolean("allDayAllowed", false)) {
c = getContentResolver().query(
Events.CONTENT_URI,
FIELDS,
new StringBuilder().append("(").append(Events.DTSTART)
.append(" >= ?)").toString(),
new String[] { Long.toString(currentTimeMillis) },
Events.DTSTART, null);
} else {
c = getContentResolver().query(
Events.CONTENT_URI,
FIELDS,
new StringBuilder().append("((").append(Events.ALL_DAY)
.append("= ?) AND (").append(Events.DTSTART)
.append(" >= ?))").toString(),
new String[] { Integer.toString(0),
Long.toString(currentTimeMillis) }, Events.DTSTART,
null);
}
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
long eventTimeMillis = c.getLong(c.getColumnIndex(Events.DTSTART));
// if (tz.inDaylightTime(new Date(eventTimeMillis))) {
// eventTimeMillis += tz.getDSTSavings();
// }
//Log.d("DesCal service", "Value of hoursToReveal: "+prefs.getString("hoursToReveal", "1"));
if (eventTimeMillis < currentTimeMillis + 360000
* Integer.parseInt(prefs.getString("hoursToReveal", "1"))) {
String title = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Events.TITLE));
String loc = c.getString(c
.getColumnIndex(Events.EVENT_LOCATION));
String time = DateUtils.formatDateTime(this, eventTimeMillis,
DateUtils.FORMAT_SHOW_TIME);
String desc = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Events.DESCRIPTION));
StringBuilder expandedBody = new StringBuilder(time);
if (!loc.isEmpty()){
expandedBody.append(" - ").append(loc);
}
expandedBody.append("\n").append(desc);
String uri = new StringBuilder(
"content://com.android.calendar/events/").append(
c.getLong(c.getColumnIndex(Events._ID))).toString();
publishUpdate(new ExtensionData()
.visible(true)
.status(time)
.expandedTitle(title)
.expandedBody(expandedBody.toString())
.icon(R.drawable.ic_dash_cal)
.clickIntent(
new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri))));
c.close();
} else {
publishUpdate(new ExtensionData().visible(false));
c.close();
}
} else {
publishUpdate(new ExtensionData().visible(false));
c.close();
}
}
}
Upon first install, it appeared to work just fine. However, after the event began, it would not grab any future events. Is there a reason why the extension will not refresh itself?
How are you triggering further updates? You need to manually specify when you'd like to have onUpdateData called, e.g. when there's a change to a content provider, or when the screen turns on, etc. Extensions by default refresh only every 30 minutes or so. See the source for the built in calendar extension for example code.

On my LG-G3 there is a default calendar named "Phone". It's not Google's.
I build an application which syncs events with the user's Google Calendars, but when I select all the calendars with a query - I get the "Phone" calendar too. Since it's not a Google calendar, I can't use it with the Google Calendar functions (insert, delete, etc.).
I can't see any different between "Phone" calendar and Google canledars except of its name. Is there any way to know if a calendar is Google's or not?
This is my query:
String[] l_projection = new String[] { Calendars._ID, Calendars.CALENDAR_DISPLAY_NAME, Calendars.CALENDAR_ACCESS_LEVEL, Calendars.ALLOWED_REMINDERS, Calendars.SYNC_EVENTS };

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 8) {
l_calendars = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/calendars");
} else {
l_calendars = Uri.parse("content://calendar/calendars");
}
try {
Cursor l_managedCursor = activity.getContentResolver().query(l_calendars, l_projection, null, null, null);
if (l_managedCursor.moveToFirst()) {
String l_methodAllow;
String l_accessPermission;
String l_calName;
String l_calId;
String l_syncEvents;
int l_cnt = 0;

Google calendar can be identified by looking at the domain name of the Calendar ID. For primary calendar, calendar ID domain name is #gmail.com. If its secondary calendar, calendar ID domain name is group.calendar.google.com
I am doing backup and restore of calendars, During restore if calendar is not present in phone(but related account is present), i am creating new calendar with the following code, it has successfully inserted into db (i can see the return value of URI and id).

I'm trying to make an app that tells me whats the next meeting in my calendar.
What I did is place a cursor on the last event and start getting their start times until I get to the one that's smaller than right now, then, simply use the previous item.
It works fine when creating events in order but not if I create an event in between.
Here is an example:
Lets set the time to 13:00 hours
I have events that I added before at 15:00 (event 1), 16:00 (event 2), 17:00 (event 3)
The cursor goes to read the start time of event 3.
Since the start time is bigger than right now, it goes to previous one, event 2
since start time is also bigger, it goes to previous one, event 1.
Since start time is also bigger, it goes to previous one, some event yesterday.
Since start is smaller, it gets the id, title and start and end times from event 1.
That all works fine, the problem is, when I add something at lets say 14:00 (event 0) after initially added the others first, events 1, 2 and 3
It wont get to event 0, it keeps the information of event 1.
How can I make so that it is correctly made?
here is my code
Big thanks in advance

I have a list of events in my app. A button on the side lets the user add the event date and time to his/her calender. I use a calender intent to redirect the user to the android calender which the corresponding date and time. Now after the user adds the event to his calender, I would like to disable the 'add event' button which corresponds to the events he/she had already added(so the user avoid adding the same event again). How can I do this? I have gone through the new calender API for android 4.0 but I wasnt able to achieve what I wanted.
Basically what I want is to avoid repeated entries for the same event in the users calender.
Any help would be appreciated.
You should test, if an instance for this event exists. See the documentation of the Android's CalendarContract.Instances class.
Especially the second query method should be helpful in this case.
This examples is some code, I posted on my blog post about the CalendarContract provider - slightly altered for your needs:
long begin = // starting time in milliseconds
long end = // ending time in milliseconds
String[] proj =
new String[]{
Instances._ID,
Instances.BEGIN,
Instances.END,
Instances.EVENT_ID};
Cursor cursor =
Instances.query(getContentResolver(), proj, begin, end, "\"Your event title\"");
if (cursor.getCount() > 0) {
// deal with conflict
}
Be aware: The time is always in UTC millis since the epoch. So you might have to adjust given the user's timezone.
And the last parameter should contain the title of the event you have added to the calendar. Keep the quotes - otherwise Android looks for "your" or "event" or "title"!
And do not forget to include the necessary permissions.
Instances.query is not recommended to be run on the UI thread, but can be done efficiently by ensuring start and end time duration is minimized.
The search string will search all values, not just title, so adding a loop to check for that an exact field value is necessary.
public boolean eventExistsOnCalendar(String eventTitle, long startTimeMs, long endTimeMs) {
if (eventTitle == null || "".equals(eventTitle)) {
return false;
}
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_CALENDAR) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return false;
}
// If no end time, use start + 1 hour or = 1 day. Query is slow if searching a huge time range
if (endTimeMs <= 0) {
endTimeMs = startTimeMs + 1000 * 60 * 60; // + 1 hour
}
final ContentResolver resolver = mContext.getContentResolver();
final String[] duplicateProjection = {CalendarContract.Events.TITLE}; // Can change to whatever unique param you are searching for
Cursor cursor =
CalendarContract.Instances.query(
resolver,
duplicateProjection,
startTimeMs,
endTimeMs,
'"' + eventTitle + '"');
if (cursor == null) {
return false;
}
if (cursor.getCount() == 0) {
cursor.close();
return false;
}
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String title = cursor.getString(0);
if (eventTitle.equals(title)) {
cursor.close();
return true;
}
}
cursor.close();
return false;
}
I have used following way to check it ...what i am passing event_id to check whether is it in calendar or not....
public boolean isEventInCal(Context context, String cal_meeting_id) {
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events"),
new String[] { "_id" }, " _id = ? ",
new String[] { cal_meeting_id }, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
//Yes Event Exist...
return true;
}
return false;
}
Please check this, this might help:
private static boolean isEventInCalendar(Context context, String titleText, long dtStart, long dtEnd) {
final String[] projection = new String[]{CalendarContract.Instances.BEGIN, CalendarContract.Instances.END, CalendarContract.Instances.TITLE};
Cursor cursor = CalendarContract.Instances.query(context.getContentResolver(), projection, dtStart, dtEnd);
return cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst() && cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(CalendarContract.Instances.TITLE)).equalsIgnoreCase(titleText);
}
My issue is, I have to make one demo application in which I wants to read the events of the Google calendar, for that I have manually inserted the events like the title of event, the time of events and the details of the whole events. now I need to just read those events form that calendar.
For that I have tried to use the gcode(google code) API which provides the calendar API class. But still I cant read those events.
That code above is pretty awful (and it does not seem to work in ICS - definitely the column names are different)
The page here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/calendar-provider.html
provides a much better overview.
A (much) simpler code to retrieve calendars:
public class CalendarContentResolver {
public static final String[] FIELDS = {
CalendarContract.Calendars.NAME,
CalendarContract.Calendars.CALENDAR_DISPLAY_NAME,
CalendarContract.Calendars.CALENDAR_COLOR,
CalendarContract.Calendars.VISIBLE
};
public static final Uri CALENDAR_URI = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/calendars");
ContentResolver contentResolver;
Set<String> calendars = new HashSet<String>();
public CalendarContentResolver(Context ctx) {
contentResolver = ctx.getContentResolver();
}
public Set<String> getCalendars() {
// Fetch a list of all calendars sync'd with the device and their display names
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(CALENDAR_URI, FIELDS, null, null, null);
try {
if (cursor.getCount() > 0) {
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String name = cursor.getString(0);
String displayName = cursor.getString(1);
// This is actually a better pattern:
String color = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(CalendarContract.Calendars.CALENDAR_COLOR));
Boolean selected = !cursor.getString(3).equals("0");
calendars.add(displayName);
}
}
} catch (AssertionError ex) { /*TODO: log exception and bail*/ }
return calendars;
}
}
Hope this helps!
Ok i found the answer of this whole of the concept that how to use the google calendar application integration with the android phone.
code:--
first you set this line which will goes to read the calendar events form the other class form your class which is current is the ApplicationSettings.java .

// Fetch a list of all calendars synced with the device, their display names and whether the
cursor = contentResolver.query(Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/calendars"),

here is the whole of the code is to be posted which will simply reads each and every events form your calendar with the help of that postback url which is for 2.2 and above version:
Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/instances/when").buildUpon();
pl find the under those version lower then 2.2 in android and use those events as you required place...
I am aware that this is an old post, but I found inspiration for optimizing the solution found in the answer given by Akash Takkar if anyone is in need of a solution in the near future.
The issues
Specically, I found a few issues in the original code:
The loop for retrieving calendar events broke immaturely
Hereby, only events from the first calendar was retrieved
The first event in each calendar was skipped by using eventCursor.moveToFirst(); which thereafter moves directly to the next event in the while loop
The id of the calendars were not set correctly in the eventCursor
"Calendars._id=" + 1, should be "Calendars._id=" + id,
It would be difficult for others to specify their own time range
The current solution is not object oriented which would hold many advantages
The readability and documentation is not the best
The solution
I have hereby created a Github Library which returns a list of event objects in a specified time range which can be found at:
https://github.com/david-laundav/CalendarService
The source files can be found under "CalendarService/src/dk/CalendarService".
Use cases
The solution itself contains two different methods for different purposes.
First use case:
CalendarService.readCalendar(class.this)
// where class.this is either your class or the context
This method will return a list of events for +/- 1 day
Second use case:
You can also specify your own time range:
CalendarService.readCalendar(class.this, int days, int hours)
An example might be:
CalendarService.readCalendar(class.this, 2, 5)
In doing so will return a list of events from +/-2 days and +/- 5 hours.
The service has been tested, but please tell me if you experience any issues.
This post is a little bit old, but here is another easy solution for getting data related to Calendar content provider in Android:
Use this lib: https://github.com/EverythingMe/easy-content-providers
And now, get all calendars:
CalendarProvider calendarProvider = new CalendarProvider(context);
List<Calendar> calendars = calendarProvider.getCalendars().getList();
Each Calendar has all fields, so you can get any info you need:
id, name, calendarColor, ownerAccount, accountName, calendarAccessLevel, ...
Or, get all Events of specific calendar:
List<Event> calendars = calendarProvider.getEvents(calendar.id).getList();
And there is also option to get Reminders, Attendees, Instances.
It works with lists or cursor and there a sample app to see how it looks and works.
In fact, there is support for all Android content providers like: Contacts, SMS, Calls, ...

Use this code get the calendar events for one day.
public static void readCalendarEvent(Context context) throws ParseException {
ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
String dtstart = "dtstart";
String dtend = "dtend";
SimpleDateFormat displayFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM dd, yyyy (EEEE)");
stime=displayFormatter.format(calendar.getTime());
SimpleDateFormat startFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
String dateString = startFormatter.format(calendar.getTime());
long after = calendar.getTimeInMillis();
SimpleDateFormat formatterr = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss MM/dd/yy");
Calendar endOfDay = Calendar.getInstance();
Date dateCCC = formatterr.parse("23:59:59 " + dateString);
endOfDay.setTime(dateCCC);
cursor = contentResolver.query(Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events"), (new String[] { "calendar_id", "title", "description", "dtstart", "dtend","eventTimezone", "eventLocation" }), "(" + dtstart + ">" + after + " and " + dtend + "<" + endOfDay.getTimeInMillis() + ")", null, "dtstart ASC");
/*String[] COLS={"calendar_id", "title", "description", "dtstart", "dtend","eventTimezone", "eventLocation"};
cursor = contentResolver.query(
CalendarContract.Events.CONTENT_URI, COLS,null, null, null);*/
gCalendar = new ArrayList<GoogleCalendar>();
try {
if (cursor.getCount() > 0) {
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
GoogleCalendar googleCalendar = new GoogleCalendar();
gCalendar.add(googleCalendar);
int calendar_id = cursor.getInt(0);
googleCalendar.setCalendar_id(calendar_id);
String title = cursor.getString(1);
googleCalendar.setTitle(title);
String description = cursor.getString(2);
