Failing at passing the title to android calendar

This is called from a button in my app. It works great except for passing of the title. What am I doing wrong? 

public void addCalendarClicked(int position)
    {             
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_EDIT);
        intent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/event");
        intent.putExtra("beginTime", MyStringUtils.dateFromRawTimestamp(_routes[position].getDepartureDateTime()).getTime());
        intent.putExtra("allDay", true);
        intent.putExtra("rrule", "FREQ=YEARLY");
        intent.putExtra("endTime", MyStringUtils.dateFromRawTimestamp(_routes[position].getArrivalDateTime()).getTime());
       intent.putExtra("title", "hello first alarm");

        startActivity(intent);
        }

In your code you not appending the eventID to the URI... How does it know which one to edit..

long eventID = 208;
Uri uri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Events.CONTENT_URI, eventID); 
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_EDIT) 
    .setData(uri) 
    .putExtra(Events.TITLE, "My New Title"); 
startActivity(intent);

Update :

You can try this :

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT)
    .setData(Events.CONTENT_URI) // `content://com.android.calendar/events`
    .putExtra(Events.TITLE, "Yoga")
    .putExtra(Events.DESCRIPTION, "Group class")
    .putExtra(Events.EVENT_LOCATION, "The gym");
startActivity(intent);
