Android Question Calendar insert intent

[rboeck]

Hi,

currently i try to work with intents, to open the users calendar and insert an event from my app.

Here is my code:

Sub btnCal_Click
   
Dim i As Intent
Dim a As String
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_EDIT, a)  
i.SetType("vnd.android.cursor.item/event")
i.SetComponent("com.android.calendar/com.android.calendar.LaunchActivity")
i.PutExtra("title","Testtitel")
i.PutExtra("description","Beschreibung")
StartActivity(i)
   
End Sub

With this code, the calendar starts and stays on the current day;
i have found the following java code:

Intent calIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT);
calIntent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/event");
calIntent.putExtra(Events.TITLE, "My House Party");
calIntent.putExtra(Events.EVENT_LOCATION, "My Beach House");
calIntent.putExtra(Events.DESCRIPTION, "A Pig Roast on the Beach");
startActivity(calIntent);

So my question is:
I think, i would need an ACTION_INSERT, is there is no possibility to realize this java code in b4a?

Have you seen the Calendar Lib on here? Might be an easier route, or are you doing it for the challenge?

I wanted to use the calendar interface; with the calendar lib you have to design and create the calendar yourself. And currently, i think, google is a little better in interface design than i ;-)

Yes, i have already used this library, but not the last revision..

I don't quite know what the issue is, I've used the Lib and it seems effortless to use, but maybe we're doing different things..
