Error : Failed to find provider info for com.android.calendar

Question

I am developing a reminder application. In which i am setting a reminder in calendar. The code i tried on my eclipse is as shown:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    addReminder();
}

public void addReminder(){
    String eventUriString = "content://com.android.calendar/events";
    ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
    ContentValues eventValues = new ContentValues();

    eventValues.put(Events.CALENDAR_ID, 1);
    eventValues.put(Events.TITLE, "Hello");
    eventValues.put(Events.DESCRIPTION, "Hello Android");
    eventValues.put(Events.EVENT_TIMEZONE, "India");

    Calendar beginTime = Calendar.getInstance();
    beginTime.set(2013, 01, 01, 18, 05);
    long startMillis = beginTime.getTimeInMillis();

    Calendar endTime = Calendar.getInstance();
    endTime.set(2013, 01, 01, 18, 06);
    long endMillis = endTime.getTimeInMillis();

    eventValues.put(Events.DTSTART, startMillis);
    eventValues.put(Events.DTEND, endMillis);
    eventValues.put("eventStatus", 1);
    eventValues.put("visibility", 3); 
    eventValues.put("transparency", 0); 
    eventValues.put("hasAlarm", 1); 
    Uri eventUri = getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse(eventUriString), eventValues);
    long eventID = Long.parseLong(eventUri.getLastPathSegment());      

    String reminderUriString = "content://com.android.calendar/reminders";
        ContentValues reminderValues = new ContentValues();

        reminderValues.put("event_id", eventID);
        reminderValues.put("minutes", 5); 
        reminderValues.put("method", 1);
    Uri reminderUri = this.getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse(reminderUriString), reminderValues);
    }
}

Where i am getting error as :
