Answer 1

Using this method you can Convert your Date Into miliseconds that can be used to add events to the Calender

public Long GettingMiliSeconds(String Date)
    {
        long timeInMilliseconds = 0;

        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy");
        try {

            Date mDate = sdf.parse(Date);
            timeInMilliseconds = mDate.getTime();

        } catch (ParseException  e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return  timeInMilliseconds;
    }
