Hey guys ?
I'm going to add a new calendar to the device's calendar database.
I read the following descriptions.
1-https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/calendar-provider#kotlin
2-https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/CalendarContract
Finally, I found a way to add a new calendar to the database at this link
3-https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/CalendarContract.Calendars
I tried to write these codes with B4A
and
But B4A stops the program with an error
We see here that we have to do it with a " sync adapters " !!
Also in link number 3 (operation) we see that we have been told "All operations can be done either as an app or as a sync adapter. "
Please guide me how to use "sync adapters" for inserting a new calendar "
? ? Thanks ? ?
