Great -- thanks. So I just moved my code over. My observations of the new Calendar Content Provider vs. the one from SDK 8:
- Same URI - Same logic works for reading the list of Calendars and creating/ reading Events and Reminders (only operations I am doing). - A couple of the column names have been changed -- they have been prepended with "calendar_" So, in other words, if you just fix up the column names, the same code works as before.
