It's great that android broadcasts intents notifying changes to the calendar; however, there is no method to find out _what_ has changed.

The intent is fired with an empty bundle; while intents from other sources (such as gmail) come with extras included.

=====How to reproduce=====

1. Create a broadcast receiver to capture the following intent:

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PROVIDER_CHANGED" />

<data android:scheme="content" />
<data android:host="com.android.calendar" />
</intent-filter>

2. Analyze the intent.

Thank you for your time.

I've been trying to get this information as well on what event is changed. But the intent retrieves nothing which is not useful.

I gave up on this quest It's simply not available to respond to updates of events. Maybe look in a completely different direction or drop the feature, thats what I ended up doing.

As of now I am trying to retrieve all calendar events and then syncing the same with my local storage, which is not so good aproach.

Checkout sync adapters. That's the better way to go about getting all the updates from android content providers

Why Obsolete? Is there any workaround, to know about Calendar Events, as to when a new event is Inserted/Deleted/Edited, and how to get the reference of the said event !!!!
