Question

I am new to android development so I am unable open that popup screen in my application can any one help me out in doing this.

Answer 1

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();              
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_EDIT);
intent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/event");
intent.putExtra("beginTime", cal.getTimeInMillis());
intent.putExtra("allDay", true);
intent.putExtra("rrule", "FREQ=YEARLY");
intent.putExtra("endTime", cal.getTimeInMillis()+60*60*1000);
intent.putExtra("title", "A Test Event from android app");
startActivity(intent);

The extra parameters are optional of course, they will just fill in some initial values on the form. You can chose to add them or remove them yourself.

Also I'm not sure but I think you need permission:

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