Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

i also added

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

in manifest file.

ERROR:: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(702): Caused by: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.EDIT typ=vnd.android.cursor.item/event (has extras) }

Answer 1

There error is when there is no activity to handle the action that is requested. By default the emulators do not have a calendar app installed on them. So there is nothing to handle this type of intent. It should work on a device that has a calendar event.

Also, make sure to have the calendar permissions set in the manifest. I missed that the first time around and was a little frustrated.
