How to get all events from the calendar?

Question

Hi, I can receive events using this code.

cur = null; cr = getContentResolver(); // Construct the query with the desired date range. Uri.Builder builder = Instances.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon(); ContentUris.appendId(builder, 0); ContentUris.appendId(builder, endMillis); // Submit the query cur = cr.query(builder.build(), INSTANCE_PROJECTION, null, null, null); 

but, as you see, I can only receive events for a given time, but I need all the events (without any time specification, excluding repeated events), is this possible? And How? please help me.

 cur = cr.query(Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events"), INSTANCE_PROJECTION, null, null, null); 

it gives a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException error:

Try this code ...

 public class Utility { public static ArrayList<String> nameOfEvent = new ArrayList<String>(); public static ArrayList<String> startDates = new ArrayList<String>(); public static ArrayList<String> endDates = new ArrayList<String>(); public static ArrayList<String> descriptions = new ArrayList<String>(); public static ArrayList<String> readCalendarEvent(Context context) { Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver() .query( Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events"), new String[] { "calendar_id", "title", "description", "dtstart", "dtend", "eventLocation" }, null, null, null); cursor.moveToFirst(); // fetching calendars name String CNames[] = new String[cursor.getCount()]; // fetching calendars id nameOfEvent.clear(); startDates.clear(); endDates.clear(); descriptions.clear(); for (int i = 0; i < CNames.length; i++) { nameOfEvent.add(cursor.getString(1)); startDates.add(getDate(Long.parseLong(cursor.getString(3)))); endDates.add(getDate(Long.parseLong(cursor.getString(4)))); descriptions.add(cursor.getString(2)); CNames[i] = cursor.getString(1); cursor.moveToNext(); } return nameOfEvent; } public static String getDate(long milliSeconds) { SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat( "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss a"); Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); calendar.setTimeInMillis(milliSeconds); return formatter.format(calendar.getTime()); } }
