how can i open the calendar from my app?
I am building an app for the android, i dont need my app to have a calendar be part of it(plus it would d开发者_JAVA百科efeat the purpose), my app allows the user to listen to a radio station, and needs the option to set an event to(remember to listen to the radio at a specific time), if the app has its own calendar then the event alarms will only go off if the user has the app open... pointless. i have been looking and cannot find, is there a way to use an intent or something else to open a google calendar or some other calendar that Android might have? i need to put my intent(/ other code) in my listener which i already have and looks like this for now
private View.OnClickListener reminder = new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// open calendar code goes here.
}
};
i dont need the app to pre-fill in any field in the calendar just open it, i will leave the rest up to the user. all help is welcome and thank you
If you just want to open the calendar you can use and intent with EITHER of these component names (you might have to cater for both if you want to support older phones)
Intent i = new Intent();
//Froyo or greater (mind you I just tested this on CM7 and the less than froyo one worked so it depends on the phone...)
cn = new ComponentName("com.google.android.calendar", "com.android.calendar.LaunchActivity");
//less than Froyo
cn = new ComponentName("com.android.calendar", "com.android.calendar.LaunchActivity");
i.setComponent(cn);
startActivity(i);
If you want to go to the add event screen (which sounds better for your purpose) use something like:
//all version of android
Intent i = new Intent();
// mimeType will popup the chooser any for any implementing application (e.g. the built in calendar or applications such as "Business calendar"
i.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/event");
// the time the event should start in millis. This example uses now as the start time and ends in 1 hour
i.putExtra("beginTime", new Date().getTime());
i.putExtra("endTime", new Date().getTime() + DateUtils.HOUR_IN_MILLIS);
// the action
i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_EDIT);
startActivity(i);
(code is untested, copied from an existing project)
