                // All Day Event                                       
                contentEvent.put("allDay", 1);                     
                // Set alarm for this Event

                Uri eventsUri = getCalendarURI(false);                  

                // event is added successfully
                getContentResolver().insert(eventsUri, contentEvent);
//                  Uri uri = cr.insert(CalendarContract.Events.CONTENT_URI, values);


public Uri getCalendarURI(boolean eventUri) {
    Uri calendarURI = null;
    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= 7) {
        calendarURI = (eventUri) ? Uri.parse("content://calendar/events")
                : Uri.parse("content://calendar/calendars");
    } else {
        calendarURI = (eventUri) ? Uri
                .parse("content://com.android.calendar/events") : Uri
                .parse("content://com.android.calendar/calendars");

  Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();  

    long l = cal.getTimeInMillis();

    long cal_Id = 1;

    **// Also Here Use Cal_Id = 1 not parse another value** 

    ContentResolver CR = getContentResolver();


     ContentValues calEvent  = new ContentValues();

     calEvent.put(CalendarContract.Events.CALENDAR_ID,  cal_Id); // XXX pick)

     calEvent.put(CalendarContract.Events.TITLE, " Demo Data");

     calEvent.put(CalendarContract.Events.DTSTART,l);

     calEvent.put(CalendarContract.Events.DTEND, l+60 * 1000);

     calEvent.put(CalendarContract.Events.EVENT_TIMEZONE, "Indian/Christmas");

// Here use the proper time zone of area wise and solve this error

     Uri uri = CR.insert(URL, calEvent);                        

     int id = Integer.parseInt(uri.getLastPathSegment());                       

     Toast.makeText(this, "Created Calendar Event " + id,
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

try this :

Uri calendars = getCalendarURI(true);


public Uri getCalendarURI(boolean eventUri) {
    Uri calendarURI = null;
    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= 7) {
        calendarURI = (eventUri) ? Uri.parse("content://calendar/events")
                : Uri.parse("content://calendar/calendars");
    } else {
        calendarURI = (eventUri) ? Uri
                .parse("content://com.android.calendar/events") : Uri
                .parse("content://com.android.calendar/calendars");
    }
    return calendarURI;
}

You can try this way :

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();              
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_EDIT);
intent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/event");
intent.putExtra("beginTime", cal.getTimeInMillis());
intent.putExtra("allDay", true);
intent.putExtra("rrule", "FREQ=YEARLY");
intent.putExtra("endTime", cal.getTimeInMillis()+60*60*1000);
intent.putExtra("title", "A Test Event from android app");
startActivity(intent);
