Android Question How to launch the default calendar app?

NeoTechni · Nov 3, 2013

Here's the partial code in java I found from a site

B4X:

Intent calIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
calIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_APP_CALENDAR);

Which translates to:

B4X:

Sub OpenCalendarApp
    Dim I As Intent
    I.Initialize("android.intent.action.MAIN", "")
    I.AddCategory("android.intent.category.APP_CALENDAR")

End Sub

I tried startactivity(i) but it crashed, what comes next?

NJDude · Nov 3, 2013

This will open the Calendar:

B4X:

Dim i As Intent

i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, "")
i.SetType("vnd.android.cursor.item/event")

StartActivity(i)

Thank you

NeoTechni · Nov 3, 2013

It works but the calendar app crashes immediately

NJDude · Nov 4, 2013

No issues here, it works just fine on all my devices.

Check the unfiltered logs and post the error message.

On my nexus 7 running jelly bean, it works but says event not found

Does this help?

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/calendar-provider.html#intent-view

or

http://www.unknownerror.org/Problem...on-when-opening-samsung-s-planner-via-intent/

The S Planner requires to have a start and end date set. Otherwise it crashes.

B4X:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT).setData(Events.CONTENT_URI)
    .putExtra(CalendarContract.EXTRA_EVENT_BEGIN_TIME, beginTime.getMillis())
    .putExtra(CalendarContract.EXTRA_EVENT_END_TIME, endTime.getMillis());

I tried adding:

B4X:

I.PutExtra("time", DateTime.Now)

And now the calendar app won't even start. It just says "event not found" on kitkat

aeropic · Mar 11, 2014

Hi,

I have the same issue with a Nexus5 kitkat and found this code :

B4X:

/**
* Edit a calendar event.
*/
private void editCalendarEvent(){
    Context context = getContext();
    long calendarEventID = .....
    intent.setData(Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events/" + String.valueOf(calendarEventID)));
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
        | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP
        | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
        | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY
        | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
  context.startActivity(intent);
}

but frankly speaking I don't know how to translate it into B4A... lost with intent.Setdata, and Uri.parse...

Finally did you get the solution NeoTechni ?

NeoTechni · Mar 11, 2014

Nope. I don't want to edit an even, or open an event. Just open the app. And the code above, wants to edit an event.

It works but the calendar app crashes immediately

B4X:

Try
Dim i As Intent
  i.Initialize("android.intent.action.VIEW", "content://com.android.calendar/time/" &DateTime.Now)
   i.AddCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT")'add cat launcher
   i.PutExtra("id", phid)
StartActivity(i)'start the activity
Catch
Log("Error Caught: " & LastException)
End Try

Adding the SetComponent worked for me so far in opening the calendar to a monthly view. Android 2.3.5
I trolled through the logs after i decided to use the OS's calendar shortcut, found the Intents it used, and played around until it gave me the Calendar.
Leaving the URI blank forces Android to match up the best program/app to handle the intent, or if there are more than 1, give you the chooser.

Hope this helps,

NOTE: Don't forget the permissions in the manifest
AddPermission(android.permission.READ_CALENDAR)
AddPermission(android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR)
Depending on what you intend to do of-course.

I came back and added the Try...Catch and modified this some more after testing between my Phone and a Tablet. The phone has 2.3.5, then tablet has 4.0.3, but it's a custom rom. The Calendar opened up on both devices and another phone running KitKat.
