Hi everybody,

has anybody play around with the Android Calendar API yet? Quick glances over the code tell me that I can use it to publish Calendar Entries to my Google Calendar with it. I have difficulties how to get started with it though (it is undocumented). Maybe it doesn't even work. Anybody tried it yet?

Especially I wonder on what the MimeType of a Calendar Entry is (the URI is content:/calendar/events). (Or can I maybe set up an IntentReceiver to catch an Intent based on that URI?)

If I knew this, I could set up my own IntentReceiver to use the GData Apis and still have by Frontend compatible for when the SDK evolves .

If you are not using android.provider.Calendar then how do you deal with Calendar related stuff? Homebrewed your own Calendar Layer? I'm sure google will include a calendar in a future SDK, so I want to use as much google stuff as possible to be able to plugin their calendar at a later time.

Anyone?

Thanks,
Valentin

I've got the same question. I couldn't find any documented way of accessing the Calendar and Tasks items in the Android OS. Is there an API that will allow me to do this?

I'm a former Windows Mobile app developer, and in the WM OS you can use POOM (Pocket-Outlook Object Model) to query, add, delete, modify such items. There must be a similar (or easier) way of doing this with the Android OS.

Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

I've been desperately searching around for a way to sync my app with the calendar managed to get it adding but not removing. However i've not published that section yet as apparently it isn't a public API yet and no word of when it will be.

Where you can find a way to add events

I've written about the unpublished calendar API on my site here: http://jimblackler.net/blog/?p=151

Hope that helps.

i tried using the uri "content://calendar/calendars" but there was an error "failed to find provider info for calendar"

i'm already using android 2.0

do you have a way out of this?

Hi Jera

Does the emulator or device you are using have the standard Google Calendar app on it, with a least one calendar synced?

Jim

actually none... can i download it to the emulator?

It is probably possible to copy the Google Calendar apps off a device to an emulator, but I haven't had to do this.

Have you tested your application with android v1.5 onwards?

Yes I have.

Hey Jim and jera need your suggestion in doing this..

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi,
Has somebody figured out something more about synchronizing Google Calendar with Android application?
