Android Adding a new Calendar

Question

I\'ve checked all over for ways to create a new calendar from within an Android app. The only way I\'ve seen is using the new Calendar API in the latest api version, BUT this on

Answer 1

Yes you can do it. But since you want to create a calendar linked with your google account, you need Google Calendar API for this (didn't find a single solution for doing this with Android Calendar Provider). Check below links:

• Google calendar API for Android

• Insert new Google Calendar

Be sure to check their API explorer. Simple HTTP REQUEST for creating new calendar:

POST https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars?key={YOUR_API_KEY}

{
 "summary": "My new google calendar"
}

And it's RESPONSE:

{
 "kind": "calendar#calendar",
 "etag": "__________etag_val_________",
 "id": "______id_goes_here______@group.calendar.google.com",
 "summary": "My new google calendar"
}

After that you should be able to manage this calendar from your Android app with Calendar Provider (after sync).
