ContentResolver not returning fresh data for Calendar events

How do I get fresh list of events from Calendar using ContentResolver?

I have used following line of code for the same

ContentResolver cr = AppController.getInstance().getContentResolver();
Cursor cursor = cr.query(CalendarContract.Events.CONTENT_URI,new String[]{"calendar_id", "title", "description","dtstart", "dtend", "eventLocation", "_id"}, null,null, null);

This returns me list of calendar events, but the problem is, if I manually remove an event from Calendar app and then resume my app, still ContentResolver returns with the same deleted event. But if I force restart my app, then it returns proper data.

Please suggest for any solution to this.

Thanks in advance.

use `android.app.LoaderManager` for that – pskink Oct 04 '16 at 11:30
@pskink, thanks for your help. I tried your suggestion, but it still results with the deleted calendar event. I have tried initializing loader manager from onResume and onCreate, so that it can fetch fresh calendar events, but still the same issue :( – Aqeeb Pathan Oct 04 '16 at 12:42
i just used [this](http://pastebin.com/G5E5gbDi) in `onCreate` and it reloads every time you add / modify / delete events from `Calendar` app, post your code what you did – pskink Oct 04 '16 at 12:45
@pskink, I went up using your suggestion, but still getting the same issue. Please review the code [here](http://pastebin.com/gmWebaRp) – Aqeeb Pathan Oct 04 '16 at 13:07
did you try my exact code? without any modifications? – pskink Oct 04 '16 at 13:13
@pskink, yes I did use it – Aqeeb Pathan Oct 04 '16 at 13:17
and? when is `"onLoadFinished =================================="` shown on the logcat? – pskink Oct 04 '16 at 13:19
It takes almost takes a second..to show up in the logcat – Aqeeb Pathan Oct 05 '16 at 06:04
what takes a second? – pskink Oct 05 '16 at 12:02
it takes almost 1 second to come into onLoadFinished in our app, once we delete any event from the calendar. – Aqeeb Pathan Oct 05 '16 at 12:37
so are you getting up-to-date data or not? – pskink Oct 05 '16 at 12:43
yes I am getting data correctly but after some delay. I am trying to engage user till I get back into onLoadFinished after deleting event from Calendar app – Aqeeb Pathan Oct 05 '16 at 12:53
i dont see any delay in the code i run – pskink Oct 05 '16 at 12:55
