I am creating events in the Google calendar and I want to assign a specific color to the event, but I do not get it, I get the color of the calendar.
The code I use is the following, which creates the event perfectly.
public static long addUVEvent (Activity activity, long calendarId, String title, String description, String location, Date dateBegin, Date dateEnd ,boolean allDay, boolean needReminder, boolean needMailService){
long startMillisEpoch;
long endMillisEpoch;
// calculamos la fecha de inicio y la de fin
Calendar beginTime = Calendar.getInstance();
beginTime.setTime(dateBegin);
startMillisEpoch = beginTime.getTimeInMillis();
Calendar endTime = Calendar.getInstance();
endTime.setTime(dateEnd);
endMillisEpoch = endTime.getTimeInMillis();
//Preparamos el evento
ContentValues eventValues = new ContentValues();
eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.CALENDAR_ID, calendarId);
eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.TITLE, title);
eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.EVENT_LOCATION, location);
eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.DESCRIPTION, description);
eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.DTSTART, startMillisEpoch);
eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.DTEND, endMillisEpoch);
// A secondary color key for the individual event. NULL or an empty string are reserved for indicating that the event does not use a key for looking up the color.
// The provider will update EVENT_COLOR automatically when a valid key is written to this column.
// The key must reference an existing row of the CalendarContract.Colors table. @see Colors
// eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.EVENT_COLOR_KEY, eventColor); //string
//eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.EVENT_COLOR_KEY, Color.parseColor("blue"));
eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.EVENT_COLOR, Color.BLUE);
// NOTA: Todos los eventos deben tener un timezone.
// Sino la aplicacion lanzara un IllegalArgumentException.
eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.EVENT_TIMEZONE, TimeZone.getDefault().getDisplayName());
eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.EVENT_END_TIMEZONE, TimeZone.getDefault().getDisplayName());
eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.ALL_DAY, (allDay)?1:0);
eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.GUESTS_CAN_INVITE_OTHERS, 1);
eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.GUESTS_CAN_MODIFY, 0);
eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.GUESTS_CAN_SEE_GUESTS, 1);

// eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.RRULE, CalendarIntentHelper.EVENT_TYPE_YEARLY);
// eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.EXRULE, 1); //The recurrence exception rule for the event
//
// eventValues.put(CalendarContract.Events.RDATE, 1); // The recurrence dates for the event
