how to Give Permission of Read and Write to add event.please guide me this permission.

How to add event in Calendar synchronization with Mobile Calendar.

Answer 1

You need manifest and runtime permissions to do that:

Refer to this https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting

Answer 2

First of all, you need to add permissions to your manifest.xml For calendar, you need to add this

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALENDAR" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR" />

At runtime, you need to ask for permission again. So, you can create some functions to check it. Declare a vble for your callback

final int callbackId = 42;

and call to your function for checking permissions

checkPermission(callbackId, Manifest.permission.READ_CALENDAR, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR);

And this is the function to declare:

private void checkPermission(int callbackId, String... permissionsId) {
    boolean permissions = true;
    for (String p : permissionsId) {
        permissions = permissions && ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, p) == PERMISSION_GRANTED;
    }

    if (!permissions)
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, permissionsId, callbackId);
}
