Question

I am trying to add calendar event using the below code in my android tablet 3.2

                                int[] calIds = null;
                                Cursor cursor = getContentResolver()
                                        .query(
                                                Uri
                                                        .parse("content://com.android.calendar/calendars"),

                                                "selected=1", null, null);
                                if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {

                                                cv);

But i am unable to insert the event.

in log i am getting the following

10-11 12:51:47.250: INFO/CalendarProvider2(24267): Sending notification intent: Intent { act=android.intent.action.PROVIDER_CHANGED dat=content://com.android.calendar }
10-11 12:51:47.250: WARN/ContentResolver(24267): Failed to get type for: content://com.android.calendar (Unknown URL content://com.android.calendar)

How should i solve this any help..

here I am able to insert events in to calendar.

    final ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
    Cursor cursor ;


    //Retrieving calendar sync data 


    if (Integer.parseInt(Build.VERSION.SDK) == 8 )
        cursor = cr.query(Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/calendars"), new String[]{ "_id", "displayname" }, null, null, null);
    else
        cursor = cr.query(Uri.parse("content://calendar/calendars"), new String[]{ "_id", "displayname" }, null, null, null);
    if(cursor.moveToFirst()) 
    {
        final String[] calNames = new String[cursor.getCount()];
        final int[] calIds = new int[cursor.getCount()];
        for (int i = 0; i < calNames.length; i++) 
        {
            calIds[i] = cursor.getInt(0);
            calNames[i] = cursor.getString(1);
            System.out.println("Title: " +calIds[i] + " name " + calNames[i]);
            cursor.moveToNext();
        }
        System.out.println("currenttimeinmillis"+System.currentTimeMillis());



        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(calendarsync.this);
        builder.setSingleChoiceItems(calNames, -1, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() 
        {
            @Override
