[android-developers] Re: Not working calendar events query.

The CalendarContract component is the only sane way to access a user's calendar data. Unfortunately it's only for API level 14 and higher ( >= 4.0). In older Android versions the calendar contentprovider is part of a hidden API which has been customized by various manufacturers. That means there is no official, standardized way of accessing or manipulating calendar data.

You could try accessing that hidden contentprovider the way you're doing it. But you need to guess the proper content URI. And you also need to make assumptions about the table column names and so on. It's not really a pretty nor reliable thing to do.

I had the same problem with one of my apps. For that reason I wrote my own calendar SyncAdapter and ContentProvider components that synchronize with the Google Calendar web API.
