Can not insert calendar event through intent in android

Question

I am getting this error in HTC(v2.3.3) and works in Galaxy s3(v4.1)

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_EDIT)
            .setData(Uri.parse(EventUtils.EVENT_URI))
            .putExtra(Event.EXTRA_EVENT_BEGIN_TIME,
                    beginTime.getTimeInMillis())
            .putExtra(Event.EXTRA_EVENT_END_TIME, endTime.getTimeInMillis())
            .putExtra(
                    Event.TITLE,
                    Utils.getPref(getApplicationContext(),
                            Constant.PREF_EVENT_TAG,
                            Constant.CONST_EVENT_TAG)
                            + "Meeting")
            .putExtra(Event.DESCRIPTION, "important meeting")
            .putExtra(Event.AVAILABILITY, Events.AVAILABILITY_BUSY);
    // .putExtra(Event.EVENT_LOCATION, "The gym")
    // .putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
    // "rowan@example.com,trevor@example.com");

    if (calID != -1) {
        intent.putExtra(Event.CALENDAR_ID, calID);
    }

    startActivity(intent);

Exception

01-13 18:58:59.417: E/AndroidRuntime(31730): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.EDIT dat=content://com.android.calendar/events (has extras) }

How can it be resolved?

`I am getting this error in HTC and works in Galaxy s3` Thats not something helpful. What Android version is your HTC device running? — Ahmad, Jan 13 '13 at 13:43

What Android Version do you have on HTC? -- I think the Calendar Indent is only around since Android 4.

Edit:

What you use and what also How to set a reminder in Android? uses, is sort of a non-offical way to add calendar events, and this will work or not work depending on the various Android implementations and devices.

Starting with Android 4 (API Level 14) there is an official way to do it, using the CalendarProvider.

Most Probably you have set wrong data for your intent... Check your Uri parameter in Intent.setData() method....

Also you should surround that with try/catch, because some users that have calendar app disabled/uninstalled may get a force close when launching that intent
