Using preset event colors of google calendar in ContentValues

Question

Any way to use some of the preset colors provided by google calendar while creating events by configuring ContentValues.

I tried using

ContentValues event = new ContentValues();
    event.put("eventColor", 0xffff3300);

But this changes back to default on click of the event

Answer 1

You can set the color of the event through the optional colorId property. To check the valid values of color, you can go to the colors endpoint and use get method to list all the available colors.
