Is there a way to access the calendar's entries without using gdata-java-client?

Question

Is it possible to get the calendar\'s entries from the phone offline? It seem the only way is to use gdata-java-client.

Answer 1

You can use the calendar content provider (com.android.providers.calendar.CalendarProvider). Example:

ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(Uri.parse("content://calendar/events"), null, null, null, null);

while(cursor.moveToNext()) {
    String eventTitle = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("title"));
    Date eventStart = new Date(cursor.getLong(cursor.getColumnIndex("dtstart")));
    // etc.
}

edit: you might want to put this in a wrapper (see Isaac's post) as it's currently a private API.
