ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        Uri EVENTS_URI = null;

        EVENTS_URI = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events");

        long time = System.currentTimeMillis();

        values.put("calendar_id", 1);
        values.put("title", "event.eventName");
        values.put("allDay", 0);
        values.put("dtstart", time); 
        values.put("dtend", time + 1000 * 60 * 60 * 2);
        values.put("description", "description");
        values.put("visibility", 0);

        values.put("eventLocation", "location");
        cr.insert(EVENTS_URI, values);

I am not able to detecting or reason that why this happen in my inserted event only

Answer 1

After analysis for inserting event and searching the logcat for calendar I have found that my calendar was force close when I am trying to edit the event which was inserted from my application.

The reason is I have not set the TimeZone field value for my event and in calendar it will get as null pointer at editing time that’s why it gone to force close

I have also search for logcat application for android I found this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&feature=search_result

to detect all the log its very useful to me from that log I know that TimeZone filled value null and calendar application gone to crashed.

so I just add this filled value at inserting time and it’s work perfectly.

for ICS

values.put(CalendarContract.Events.EVENT_TIMEZONE, TimeZone.getDefault().getID());

below ICS

values.put("eventTimezone", TimeZone.getDefault().getID());
