Fields and helpers for interacting with Instances. An instance is a single occurrence of an event including time zone specific start and end days and minutes. The instances table is not writable and only provides a way to query event occurrences.

`Int`	`ACCESS_PRIVATE` Private shares the event as a free/busy slot with no details.
`Int`	`ACCESS_PUBLIC` Public makes the contents visible to anyone with access to the calendar.
`String`	`ALL_DAY` Is the event all day (time zone independent). Column name. Type: INTEGER (boolean)
`String`	`AVAILABILITY` If this event counts as busy time or is still free time that can be scheduled over. Column name. Type: INTEGER (One of `AVAILABILITY_BUSY`, `AVAILABILITY_FREE`, `AVAILABILITY_TENTATIVE`)

Public methods

query

Added in API level 14

static fun query(
    cr: ContentResolver!, 
    projection: Array<String!>!, 
    begin: Long, 
    end: Long
): Cursor!

Performs a query to return all visible instances in the given range. This is a blocking function and should not be done on the UI thread. This will cause an expansion of recurring events to fill this time range if they are not already expanded and will slow down for larger time ranges with many recurring events.

Parameters
`cr`	ContentResolver!: The ContentResolver to use for the query
`projection`	Array<String!>!: The columns to return
`begin`	Long: The start of the time range to query in UTC millis since epoch
`end`	Long: The end of the time range to query in UTC millis since epoch

Return
`Cursor!`	A Cursor containing all instances in the given range

query

Added in API level 14

static fun query(
    cr: ContentResolver!, 
    projection: Array<String!>!, 
    begin: Long, 
    end: Long, 
    searchQuery: String!
): Cursor!

Performs a query to return all visible instances in the given range that match the given query. This is a blocking function and should not be done on the UI thread. This will cause an expansion of recurring events to fill this time range if they are not already expanded and will slow down for larger time ranges with many recurring events.

Parameters
`cr`	ContentResolver!: The ContentResolver to use for the query
`projection`	Array<String!>!: The columns to return
`begin`	Long: The start of the time range to query in UTC millis since epoch
`end`	Long: The end of the time range to query in UTC millis since epoch
`searchQuery`	String!: A string of space separated search terms. Segments enclosed by double quotes will be treated as a single term.

Return
`Cursor!`	A Cursor of instances matching the search terms in the given time range

ENTERPRISE_CONTENT_URI

Added in API level 29

static val ENTERPRISE_CONTENT_URI: Uri

The following columns plus the columns that are allowed by Events.ENTERPRISE_CONTENT_URI are allowed to be queried via this uri:

_ID
EVENT_ID
BEGIN
END
START_DAY
END_DAY
START_MINUTE
END_MINUTE

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).
