Android Question intercept calendar event?

[Roberto P.]

HI
there is a way to intercept an event of creation or modification of a date on the calendar to a app, like Trigger or save data to a file that a process can read?

What do you mean with intercept?

If you want to show calendars/events of a specific calendar then you could use the Library in the similar threads. AndroidProviders.

But as the lib can NOT change a event/calendar at this time you are limited to READ ONLY as yet.

Hello DonManfred
I would like to intercept the insertion, modification and deletion of a calendar item, in order to update my table that manages my task.
So I would use the event to write \ update my table.
I hope it's clear.
Thank you

I dont know any interceptor.
BUT you can use the mentioned library to read all eventdetails (including creationdate and last edited date if i remember correctly=). you can use the eventlist to do a sync to your database... If you know the id of the event you can query just this event

Zapier is working. I´ve created a account and setup a webhook.
Wrote a small php as hook.

This is resulting log after the hook got called...

As an alternative to an event, you can not create a wrapper of the calendar, enter it in my app and add the fields that I need?
Maybe I ask too much, but that's what they ask users of my app .....
thank you
