Add android calendar events using java

Hi, I am trying to add an event to the Android calendar. I am new to Android development. Please help me how to add events to the Android calendar. Here is my code that doesn't work. When I start it, it gives me the message “Application Calendar (com.something.something process) has stopped unexpectedly” and has this “Power to stop” button. Here is my code
package com.zafar.calendar;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.ContentValues;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class Calendar extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    Cursor cursor=getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/calendars"), new String[]{"_id", "displayname"}, null, null, null);

    cursor.moveToFirst();
    // Get calendars name
    String calendarNames[] = new String[cursor.getCount()];
    // Get calendars id
    int[] calendarId = new int[cursor.getCount()];
    for (int i = 0; i < calendarNames.length; i++)
    {
             calendarId[i] = cursor.getInt(0);
             calendarNames[i] = cursor.getString(1);
             cursor.moveToNext();
    }
    cursor.close();

    ContentValues contentEvent = new ContentValues();
     contentEvent.put("calendar_id", 1);
     contentEvent.put("title", "Wedding");
     contentEvent.put("eventLocation", "New York");
     contentEvent.put("dtstart","1335432431000");
     contentEvent.put("dtend","1335436031000");

     Uri eventsUri = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events");
     getContentResolver().insert(eventsUri, contentEvent);

}
}

Update Here is my manifest file

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >
    <activity
        android:name=".Calendar"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALENDAR"></uses-permission>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR"></uses-permission>
</application>

Error in your code:

  • new String[]{"calendar_id", "displayname"}, null, null, null);

calendar_id. _id calendar_id. , [] { " _id", "displayname" }, null, null, null);

3 . Calendar_id, EventStartTime EventEndTime. . EventStartTime EventEndTime .

, .

Cursor cursor=getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/calendars"), new String[]{"_id", "displayname"}, null, null, null);

cursor.moveToFirst();
// Get calendars name
String calendarNames[] = new String[cursor.getCount()];
// Get calendars id
int[] calendarId = new int[cursor.getCount()];
for (int i = 0; i < calendarNames.length; i++)
{
         calendarId[i] = cursor.getInt(0);
         calendarNames[i] = cursor.getString(1);
         cursor.moveToNext();
}
cursor.close();

ContentValues contentEvent = new ContentValues();
 contentEvent.put("calendar_id", 1);
 contentEvent.put("title", "Wedding");
 contentEvent.put("eventLocation", "New York");                
 contentEvent.put("dtstart","1335432431000");
 contentEvent.put("dtend","1335436031000");


 Uri eventsUri = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events");
 getContentResolver().insert(eventsUri, contentEvent);
