Delete only one instance of a recurring event from my Android calendar

Question

I've been looking through the various posts on how to delete just one instance of a recurring event from my Android 2.3 Phone's calendar, but I haven't been able to find the perfect answer. So far, the best I've come across is :

Uri eventsUri = Uri.parse("content://com.android.calendar/events");
Uri deleteEventUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(eventsUri, String.valueOf(id2));
DeleteEventActivity.context.getContentResolver().delete(deleteEventUri, null, null);

Where id2 is the id of the event I want to delete. The problem I have is that I only want to delete one instance of a recurring event, but this code deletes all occurrences. Is there a way to delete only one instance? Thanks.

Here are the basics

1. Find the instance you want to delete. (using Instances.query())
2. Create the exception URI with the event ID appended.
3. Create ContentValues. Put your instance's BEGIN value as ...Events.ORIGINAL_INSTANCE_TIME. Put STATUS_CANCELED as ...Events.STATUS
4. Now only insert(yourURI, yourValues) and that's it!
