adding event to calendar dynamically

Question

i developed a app something like appointment where user will enter some details along with date and time he wants. Then i want to display that appointment details in calendar for particular date and time that was selected by user.

you can set event to particular time by adding time in milliseconds. Example use cal.getTimeInMillis()+60*60*1000 instaed of cal.getTimeInMillis() to get any particular date

Example

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();              
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_EDIT);
intent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/event");
intent.putExtra("beginTime", cal.getTimeInMillis()+60*60*1000);
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);

Thank you for your reply, but user will dynamically take his date, but how can we measure that date using cal.getTimeMillis()+60*60*1000. – Abhi Jun 30 '11 at 06:04

to make a Date object from a DatePicker you'd do new Date(datePicker.getYear() - 1900, datePicker.getMonth(), datePicker.getDayOfMonth()); – Sunil Kumar Sahoo Jun 30 '11 at 06:28
