How to get the default CALENDAR_ID in Android?

I am trying to add Events in my app using a calender.According to CalenderContract,I need to provide a constant ID each time I add an event to the calender.I don't know how to do that.

I tried using calender_ID =1 which worked on some devices and calender_ID = 3 which also worked on some devices.

I think there would be some default ID which can be used to make this work properly.

Can anyone please tell me how this can be done?

Thanks in Advance.

you can get the calender id by this following code :

    String projection[] = {"_id", "calendar_displayName"};
    Uri calendars;
    calendars = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/calendars");

    ContentResolver contentResolver = c.getContentResolver();
    Cursor managedCursor = contentResolver.query(calendars, projection, null, null, null);

    if (managedCursor.moveToFirst()){
        m_calendars = new MyCalendar[managedCursor.getCount()];
        String calName;
        String calID;
        int cont= 0;
        int nameCol = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(projection[1]);
        int idCol = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(projection[0]);
        do {
            calName = managedCursor.getString(nameCol);
            calID = managedCursor.getString(idCol);
            m_calendars[cont] = new MyCalendar(calName, calID);
            cont++;
        } while(managedCursor.moveToNext());
        managedCursor.close();
    }

So you can get the calender Id at runtime and use it . you don't need hardcoded 1 or 3 column Id.
