Getting events from calendar
Solution 1:
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!
Solution 2:
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 .
ReadCalendar.readCalendar(ApplicationSettings.this);
package com.mycalendarevents.android;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import android.content.ContentResolver;
import android.content.ContentUris;
import android.content.Context;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.text.format.DateUtils;
public class ReadCalendar
{
static Cursor cursor;
public static void readCalendar(Context context) {
ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
// 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"),
(new String[] { "_id", "displayName", "selected"}), null, null, null);
HashSet<String> calendarIds = new HashSet<String>();
try
{
System.out.println("Count="+cursor.getCount());
if(cursor.getCount() > 0)
{
System.out.println("the control is just inside of the cursor.count loop");
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String _id = cursor.getString(0);
String displayName = cursor.getString(1);
Boolean selected = !cursor.getString(2).equals("0");
System.out.println("Id: " + _id + " Display Name: " + displayName + " Selected: " + selected);
calendarIds.add(_id);
}
}
}
catch(AssertionError ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
// For each calendar, display all the events from the previous week to the end of next week.
for (String id : calendarIds) {
Uri.Builder builder = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/instances/when").buildUpon();
//Uri.Builder builder = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/calendars").buildUpon();
long now = new Date().getTime();
ContentUris.appendId(builder, now - DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS * 10000);
ContentUris.appendId(builder, now + DateUtils.DAY_IN_MILLIS * 10000);
Cursor eventCursor = contentResolver.query(builder.build(),
new String[] { "title", "begin", "end", "allDay"}, "Calendars._id=" + 1,
null, "startDay ASC, startMinute ASC");
System.out.println("eventCursor count="+eventCursor.getCount());
if(eventCursor.getCount()>0)
{
if(eventCursor.moveToFirst())
{
do
{
Object mbeg_date,beg_date,beg_time,end_date,end_time;
final String title = eventCursor.getString(0);
final Date begin = new Date(eventCursor.getLong(1));
final Date end = new Date(eventCursor.getLong(2));
final Boolean allDay = !eventCursor.getString(3).equals("0");
/* System.out.println("Title: " + title + " Begin: " + begin + " End: " + end +
" All Day: " + allDay);
*/
System.out.println("Title:"+title);

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...
