Android Calendar Intent Event End Always One Hour After Start

I've looked into this problem a lot and I can't seem to find anyone having the same difficulties. The start time is working fine but the end time is always set to being exactly one

Solution 1:

I fixed it my using a different implementation.

 public void setAlarm(Date examMonth, int day, int hourOfDay, int minute,
        double length, String examName, String venue) {


    Calendar calSet = Calendar.getInstance();
    calSet.setTime(examMonth);
    int month = calSet.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    int year = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR);
    calSet.set(year, month, day, hourOfDay, minute, 0); 



     // look for calendar
    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver()
            .query(Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/calendars"),
                    new String[] { "_id", "calendar_displayName" },"visible='1'"
                    , null, null);
    cursor.moveToFirst();
    String[] CalNames = new String[cursor.getCount()];
    int[] CalIds = new int[cursor.getCount()];
    for (int i = 0; i < CalNames.length; i++) {
        CalIds[i] = cursor.getInt(0);
        CalNames[i] = cursor.getString(1);
        cursor.moveToNext();
    }

    cursor.close();


    // put calendar event
    ContentValues event = new ContentValues();
    event.put("calendar_id", CalIds[0]);
    event.put("title", examName);
    //event.put("description", description);
    event.put("eventLocation", venue);
    event.put(Events.ALL_DAY, 0);
    event.put("dtstart",  calSet.getTimeInMillis());
    event.put("dtend", (float)(length*3600000)+calSet.getTimeInMillis());
    event.put(Events.EVENT_TIMEZONE, TimeZone.getDefault().getID());
    event.put(Events.AVAILABILITY, Events.AVAILABILITY_BUSY);
    event.put("hasAlarm", 1);

    Uri eventsUri = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events");
    Uri newEvent = getContentResolver().insert(eventsUri, event);

    // put alarm reminder for an event, 2 hours prior
    long eventID = Long.parseLong(newEvent.getLastPathSegment());

    ContentValues cv_alarm = new ContentValues();
    cv_alarm.put("event_id", eventID);
    cv_alarm.put("method", 1);
    cv_alarm.put("minutes", 120);
    this.getContentResolver()
            .insert(Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/reminders"),
                    cv_alarm);
}
