Android How To View Calendar Event Given The Event ID?

Question

I would like to launch the phones stock Calendar App and view the single calendar event using that App. Does anyone know what the correct Intent options are to do this?

Answer 1

I finally found the solution:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
//Android 2.2+
intent.setData(Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events/" + String.valueOf(calendarEventID)));  
//Android 2.1 and below.
//intent.setData(Uri.parse("content://calendar/events/" + String.valueOf(calendarEventID)));    
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(intent);

I hope that some of you find this usefull.

I have also added a few other calendar Intents below:

/**
 * Add a calendar event.
 */
private void addCalendarEvent(){
    Context context = getContext();
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_EDIT);
    intent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/event");
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    context.startActivity(intent);
}

/**
 * Edit a calendar event.
 */
private void editCalendarEvent(){
    Context context = getContext();
    long calendarEventID = .....
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_EDIT);
    intent.setData(Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events/" + String.valueOf(calendarEventID)));
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
   context.startActivity(intent);
}

Let me know if anyone has any questions or has a better way to accomplish the same task.
