Android Create Calendar Event always as Birthday

Issue

I have a strange issue when I create a calendar event programmatically its always noted as Birthday Calendar (type) I don't have any clue why its noted like that.

My code I use is as below: Xamarin C#

ContentResolver cr = ((Activity)Forms.Context).ContentResolver;
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
String eventUriString = "content://com.android.calendar/events";

//Insert Events in the calendar...
values.Put(CalendarContract.Events.InterfaceConsts.CalendarId, 1);
values.Put(CalendarContract.Events.InterfaceConsts.Title, title);
values.Put(CalendarContract.Events.InterfaceConsts.Status, 1);
values.Put(CalendarContract.Events.InterfaceConsts.Description, description);
values.Put(CalendarContract.Events.InterfaceConsts.Dtstart, GetDateTimeMS(year, month, day, hour, minute));
values.Put(CalendarContract.Events.InterfaceConsts.Dtend, GetDateTimeMS(year, month, day, hour, minute));
values.Put(CalendarContract.Events.InterfaceConsts.AllDay, allday ? "1" : "0");
values.Put(CalendarContract.Events.InterfaceConsts.HasAlarm, hasalarm ? "1" : "0");
values.Put(CalendarContract.Events.InterfaceConsts.EventColor, Android.Graphics.Color.Green);
values.Put(CalendarContract.Events.InterfaceConsts.EventTimezone, "GMT+" + zone + ":00");
values.Put(CalendarContract.Events.InterfaceConsts.EventEndTimezone, "GMT+" + zone + ":00");
cr.Insert(Android.Net.Uri.Parse(eventUriString), values);

Please does someone has any tips or ideas which can point me to the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

The question answered below is old please refer to Pkosta's answer which provides more accurate answer ...

You have to put CalendarId value as 3 instead of 1 which is default birthday calendar. e.g.

 values.Put(CalendarContract.Events.InterfaceConsts.CalendarId, 1);

change it to

values.Put(CalendarContract.Events.InterfaceConsts.CalendarId, 3);

It solved the same issue for me.
