Title: Changing default app in "send to calendar"
Post by: WinstonY on December 07, 2015, 11:08:40 pm

Hi,

How do I change the default calendar app when using "send to calendar" function? I have Informant installed but it always defaults to opening Samsung S Planner. I cannot find where to clear defaults. Any help?

Thanks!

Winston

System settings -> apps (or apps management, is it?) -> find and tap into your currently default calendar app and there should be a "clear defaults" button.

After you've done this, next time Android should prompt you for which app to use.

Thanks so much for the reply. I tried doing that and the clear defaults button on the application manager are all greyed out for S Planner, Aquamail and Informant. It's not a big deal. More of wondering why its not resetting app defaults.

All the best!

Maybe Informant doesn't handle the "intent" which is the mechanism for sending stuff between apps?

Please check with this app's developer. Here is what I use, it's all officially documented stuff:

      Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT, CalendarContract.Events.CONTENT_URI);
      intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);

      intent.putExtra(CalendarContract.EXTRA_EVENT_BEGIN_TIME, ...);
      intent.putExtra(CalendarContract.EXTRA_EVENT_ALL_DAY, ...);
      intent.putExtra(CalendarContract.EXTRA_EVENT_END_TIME, ...);
      intent.putExtra(CalendarContract.Events.TITLE, subject);
      intent.putExtra(CalendarContract.Events.DESCRIPTION, description);

      try {
         context.startActivity(intent);
...


The most important bit is:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT, CalendarContract.Events.CONTENT_URI);


... and Informant may not be wired to respond to this.

I installed Informant, and "send to Calendar" in AquaMail gives me the choice of two other calendar apps installed on the device (Sony's built-in calendar and Google Calendar) -- but not Informant.

So yes, please contact the developer of Informant.
