extends Object implements BaseColumns, CalendarContract.SyncColumns, CalendarContract.CalendarColumns

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.provider.CalendarContract.Calendars


Constants and helpers for the Calendars table, which contains details for individual calendars.

Operations

All operations can be done either as an app or as a sync adapter. To perform an operation as a sync adapter CalendarContract.CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER should be set to true and CalendarContract.SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_NAME and CalendarContract.SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_TYPE must be set in the Uri parameters. See Uri.Builder#appendQueryParameter(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) for details on adding parameters. Sync adapters have write access to more columns but are restricted to a single account at a time. Calendars are designed to be primarily managed by a sync adapter and inserting new calendars should be done as a sync adapter. For the most part, apps should only update calendars (such as changing the color or display name). If a local calendar is required an app can do so by inserting as a sync adapter and using an CalendarContract.SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_TYPE of CalendarContract.ACCOUNT_TYPE_LOCAL .
Insert
When inserting a new calendar the following fields must be included: The following fields are not required when inserting a Calendar but are generally a good idea to include:
Update
To perform an update on a calendar the BaseColumns._ID of the calendar should be provided either as an appended id to the Uri ( ContentUris#withAppendedId) or as the first selection item--the selection should start with "_id=?" and the first selectionArg should be the _id of the calendar. Calendars may also be updated using a selection without the id. In general, the CalendarContract.SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_NAME and CalendarContract.SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_TYPE should not be changed after a calendar is created as this can cause issues for sync adapters.
Delete
Calendars can be deleted either by the BaseColumns._ID as an appended id on the Uri or using any standard selection. Deleting a calendar should generally be handled by a sync adapter as it will remove the calendar from the database and all associated data (aka events).
Query
Querying the Calendars table will get you all information about a set of calendars. There will be one row returned for each calendar that matches the query selection, or at most a single row if the BaseColumns._ID is appended to the Uri.

Calendar Columns

The following Calendar columns are writable by both an app and a sync adapter. The following Calendars columns are writable only by a sync adapter

The following columns are allowed to be queried via this uri:

IllegalArgumentException is thrown if there exists columns in the projection of the query to this uri that are not contained in the above list.

This uri returns an empty cursor if the calling user is not a parent profile of a managed profile, or the managed profile is disabled, or cross-profile calendar is disabled in Settings, or this uri is queried from a package that is not allowed by the profile owner of the managed profile via DevicePolicyManager#setCrossProfileCalendarPackages(ComponentName, Set).

Apps can register a ContentObserver for this URI to listen to changes.
