CalendarContract.Calendars

public static final class CalendarContract.Calendars
extends Object implements BaseColumns, CalendarContract.SyncColumns, CalendarContract.CalendarColumns

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.provider.CalendarContract.Calendars


Constants and helpers for the Calendars table, which contains details for individual calendars.

Operations

All operations can be done either as an app or as a sync adapter. To perform an operation as a sync adapter CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER should be set to true and ACCOUNT_NAME and ACCOUNT_TYPE must be set in the Uri parameters. See appendQueryParameter(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) for details on adding parameters. Sync adapters have write access to more columns but are restricted to a single account at a time. Calendars are designed to be primarily managed by a sync adapter and inserting new calendars should be done as a sync adapter. For the most part, apps should only update calendars (such as changing the color or display name). If a local calendar is required an app can do so by inserting as a sync adapter and using an ACCOUNT_TYPE of ACCOUNT_TYPE_LOCAL .
Insert
When inserting a new calendar the following fields must be included: The following fields are not required when inserting a Calendar but are generally a good idea to include:
Update
To perform an update on a calendar the _ID of the calendar should be provided either as an appended id to the Uri ( withAppendedId(Uri, long)) or as the first selection item--the selection should start with "_id=?" and the first selectionArg should be the _id of the calendar. Calendars may also be updated using a selection without the id. In general, the ACCOUNT_NAME and ACCOUNT_TYPE should not be changed after a calendar is created as this can cause issues for sync adapters.
Delete
Calendars can be deleted either by the _ID as an appended id on the Uri or using any standard selection. Deleting a calendar should generally be handled by a sync adapter as it will remove the calendar from the database and all associated data (aka events).
Query
Querying the Calendars table will get you all information about a set of calendars. There will be one row returned for each calendar that matches the query selection, or at most a single row if the _ID is appended to the Uri.

Calendar Columns

The following Calendar columns are writable by both an app and a sync adapter. The following Calendars columns are writable only by a sync adapter
