I am using the Android calendar. How can I remove a calendar event using code? Is it possible?

For clarification, I would like to mention that I don\'t want a sync proce

Answer 1

Though it is not part of the SDK you can access it, but access it at your own risk since it is not supported. A good tutorial that I followed are these links:

Answer 2

A short way:

Uri eventUri = Uri.parse("content://calendar/events");  // or "content://com.android.calendar/events" 


Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(eventUri, new String[]{"_id"}, "calendar_id = " + calendarId, null, null); // calendar_id can change in new versions 

while(cursor.moveToNext()) {
    Uri deleteUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(eventUri, cursor.getInt(0));

    contentResolver.delete(deleteUri, null, null);
}

Answer 3

Try this to delete the event using Uri of the event id.

Uri uri='URI OF THE EVENT';
getContentResolver().delete(uri, null, null);

Answer 4

There is no such concept as "remove local calendar's event":

• There is no "local calendar". There is, at most, a cached representation of the user's Google Calendars.
• The Calendar application is not part of the SDK
