How to add calendar events in Android?

Question

I\'m just getting up to speed on Android, and today in a project meeting someone said that Android has no native calendar app so users just use whatever calendar app they li

Answer 1

Just in case if someone needs this for Xamarin in c#:

        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ActionInsert);
        intent.SetData(Android.Provider.CalendarContract.Events.ContentUri);
        intent.PutExtra(Android.Provider.CalendarContract.ExtraEventBeginTime, Utils.Tools.CurrentTimeMillis(game.Date));
        intent.PutExtra(Android.Provider.CalendarContract.EventsColumns.AllDay, false);
        intent.PutExtra(Android.Provider.CalendarContract.EventsColumns.EventLocation, "Location");
        intent.PutExtra(Android.Provider.CalendarContract.EventsColumns.Description, "Description");
        intent.PutExtra(Android.Provider.CalendarContract.ExtraEventEndTime, Utils.Tools.CurrentTimeMillis(game.Date.AddHours(2)));
        intent.PutExtra(Android.Provider.CalendarContract.EventsColumns.Title, "Title");
        StartActivity(intent);

Helper Functions:

    private static readonly DateTime Jan1st1970 = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);

    public static long CurrentTimeMillis(DateTime date)
    {
        return (long)(date.ToUniversalTime() - Jan1st1970).TotalMilliseconds;
    }
