Android Calendar Provider API Level

Question

We are developing an Android calendar app. The problem is that we want to get the events of other calendars and share our event to them too. As I have read this is achieved by a content provider.

The problem is that the API level required by calendar content provider is API 14 and we need to use it in API 7(Android 2.1). I have seen apps that do that in Android 2.1.

How can we achieve that?

Answer 1

The calendar provider is there but the API is not public before API level 14 and the authority may vary from device to device. Here are some examples: Is there a way to access the calendar's entries without using gdata-java-client?
