Answer 1

I believe the section you are looking for is Using an intent to insert an event. In this section it describes how to create an intent for the event you want to add and then the default calender program on the emulator will respond and add it. You may have to set up a dummy profile so that the calendar program will start if you actually want to see that it receives the correct information.

Code from Android Dev Site:

Calendar beginTime = Calendar.getInstance();
beginTime.set(2012, 0, 19, 7, 30);
Calendar endTime = Calendar.getInstance();
endTime.set(2012, 0, 19, 8, 30);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT)
    .setData(Events.CONTENT_URI)
    .putExtra(CalendarContract.EXTRA_EVENT_BEGIN_TIME, beginTime.getTimeInMillis())
    .putExtra(CalendarContract.EXTRA_EVENT_END_TIME, endTime.getTimeInMillis())
    .putExtra(Events.TITLE, "Yoga")
    .putExtra(Events.DESCRIPTION, "Group class")
    .putExtra(Events.EVENT_LOCATION, "The gym")
    .putExtra(Events.AVAILABILITY, Events.AVAILABILITY_BUSY)
    .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, "rowan@example.com,trevor@example.com");
startActivity(intent);
