↳ | android.provider.CalendarContract |
The contract between the calendar provider and applications. Contains definitions for the supported URIs and data columns.
CalendarContract defines the data model of calendar and event related information. This data is stored in a number of tables:
CalendarContract.Calendars
table holds the calendar specific information. Each
row in this table contains the details for a single calendar, such as the
name, color, sync info, etc.CalendarContract.Events
table holds the event specific information. Each row
in this table has the info for a single event. It contains information such
as event title, location, start time, end time, etc. The event can occur
one-time or can recur multiple times. Attendees, reminders, and extended
properties are stored on separate tables and reference the _ID
to link them with the event.CalendarContract.Instances
table holds the start and end time for occurrences
of an event. Each row in this table represents a single occurrence. For
one-time events there will be a 1:1 mapping of instances to events. For
recurring events, multiple rows will automatically be generated which
correspond to multiple occurrences of that event.CalendarContract.Attendees
table holds the event attendee or guest
information. Each row represents a single guest of an event. It specifies the
type of guest they are and their attendance response for the event.CalendarContract.Reminders
table holds the alert/notification data. Each row
represents a single alert for an event. An event can have multiple reminders.
The number of reminders per event is specified in
MAX_REMINDERS
which is set by the Sync Adapter that owns
the given calendar. Reminders are specified in minutes before the event and
have a type.CalendarContract.ExtendedProperties
table holds opaque data fields used by the
sync adapter. The provider takes no action with items in this table except to
delete them when their related events are deleted.Other tables include:
CalendarContract.SyncState

adaptersNested Classes | |||||||||||

A special account type for calendars not associated with any account. Normally calendars that do not match an account on the device will be removed. Setting the account_type on a calendar to this will prevent it from being wiped if it does not match an existing account.
Broadcast Action: This is the intent that gets fired when an alarm notification needs to be posted for a reminder.
Activity Action: Display the event to the user in the custom app as
specified in CUSTOM_APP_PACKAGE
. The custom app
will be started via startActivityForResult(Intent, int)
and it should call setResult(int)
with
RESULT_OK
or RESULT_CANCELED
to
acknowledge whether the action was handled or not.
The custom app should have an intent filter like the following:
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.provider.calendar.action.HANDLE_CUSTOM_EVENT" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> <data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/event" /> </intent-filter>
Input: getData()
has the event URI. The extra
EXTRA_EVENT_BEGIN_TIME
has the start time of the instance. The
extra EXTRA_CUSTOM_APP_URI
will have the
CUSTOM_APP_URI
.
Output: RESULT_OK
if this was handled; otherwise
RESULT_CANCELED
.
This authority is used for writing to or querying from the calendar provider. Note: This is set at first run and cannot be changed without breaking apps that access the provider.
An optional insert, update or delete URI parameter that allows the caller
to specify that it is a sync adapter. The default value is false. If set
to true, the modified row is not marked as "dirty" (needs to be synced)
and when the provider calls
notifyChange(android.net.Uri, android.database.ContentObserver, boolean)
, the third parameter "syncToNetwork" is set to false. Furthermore, if
set to true, the caller must also include
ACCOUNT_NAME
and ACCOUNT_TYPE
as
query parameters.
Intent Extras key: CUSTOM_APP_URI
for the event in
the ACTION_HANDLE_CUSTOM_EVENT
