Hello,
I have an application that adds an event to the calendar on the device. I have the following URLs for the Calendar ContentProvider:
Code:
Pre Froyo: content://calendar/calendars
Froyo: content://com.android.calendar/calendars
I know this is unpublished API. My app is too small to include a 2.8M library and use GData API.
These urls work fine for Nexus One but do not return any calendars on HTC Desire and Incredible. Has anybody run into this problem before and has any workarounds?
Did you ever find a work-around for this? I'm encountering the same issue.

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a soltuion to see the companies exchange global adressbook on my samsung GT-9000. The Motorola Milestone has an app call motogal.apk. So it was possible to browse and add contacts to my own. The same feature did I use on my htc legend. If you using an exchange mail account on the samsung gt-9000 you can only search the gal during creating a new mail message and then just using the found e-mail adress. Not more. I tried to use the motogal.apk, installed it, opened it, crashed it. Just the app.
Has anybody an idear? I will not using touchdown a other third party apps. thx
regards
It would be really nice if someone could included it (motoGAL, CorpGAL or anything like that) to his ROM. Or even better make a package that could be installed and running on any froyo ROM.
Thanks
I have developed a small app which adds events to the phones built-in calendar. It works fine with Froyo on Nexus One and with HTC Sense etc.
But the Samsung Froyo update seems to be different. The events are added, but not synced to the Google calendar. You have to edit the entered event manually, after that it will be synced.
I searched the forum and found similar issues from users, but no real solution.
Anybody out there who can give me a hint, what I have to change in my sourcecode to start syncing on Samsung again?
Regards,

I got the exact same problem. This is driving me nuts.
Nobody? No idea?
Having upgraded from an older HTC that ran the same version of windows software I was disappointed to find that when adding a new calendar entry that the categories are not updated in line with the ones on the PC it was synced with. You cant even add new categories on the phone which would have at least helped.
Has anyone found a way round this..?
Anyone....?
I found that if you use the calendar option under Outlook then the have the categories as before. It's only if you use the link from the front screen that your options are limited.
There is evidently an issue with connecting to a Lotus Notes Traveler server to install the client on the Honeycomb devices.
When attempting to login, I received an error message of Error 500: HTTP Web Server: Invalid POST Request Exception.
I found a solution at Android Central on their Xoom forum, which seems to have worked for me.
You need to install the Firefox browser to be able to access the Notes Traveler to login and download the installer. Both the default and Dolphin browsers gave me the error message above, but the Firefox browser worked.
Additional Lotus Traveler functionality update - Contact Look-Ups work fine, but the calendar and email fail to sync (brings it right up to speed with the Playbook).
IBM has posted a fix, information can be found at https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1LO57889
I'm getting my Notes Traveler emails synced ok on my Iconia Tab A500. Calendar seems to sync too, but the week view just shows dark boxes without text for my appointments. The agenda view and the Day view work ok though.
I installed and configured traveler with no issues using dolphin HD. I have not seen any issues, though I have not changed my cal view from agenda so I cant talk about that issue. I think a lot of the issues being seen may be due to the back end of traveler, and not issues with the android OS or with the tablet (and lets face it, when traveler added android support, there was no display that could show anything else other than boxes for the month view!! )
I am still waiting very patiently for someone to release a widget for calendar for any flavor of android. I have traveler set up on my phone and my iconia, but I still have no calendar widget!!!!!!!!!!
Hello
We are developers of the windows phone platform.
We have chosen this platform because in our opinion it is superior to other established phone platforms and we like creating apps that users enjoy and that help to emerge the windows phone platform.
We also think that nowadays there are some features that a user simply expects a Smartphone to “have”. One of these features is a great calendar.
The current windows phone 8 programming API lacks of some important features that hinder developers from creating a fully features calendar application.
- There is no programming interface to edit or delete existing appointments => Vote Here
- Access to calendar categories (private, office, birthdays, …) is not provided => Vote Here
- Access to sub-calendar of an account to recover name and color setting is not provided => Vote Here
- Information for private appointments is not returned => Vote Here
- No way to access “Task” in windows live and exchange => Vote Here
The built in calendar has all of this options but they are not accessible for developers.
In order to let developers improve your calendar experience, let Microsoft hear you voice. You can use the link above to vote for those missing features.
Hannes and Olivier
PS : Other persons are also asking for this improvements : message
Hello,
You can not access the built in calendar but you can make your own framework to provide the same functionalists. You can also use Live connect to sync with the hotmail calendar(which is the core of the built-in calendar anyway).
The only thing that the built in has and the custom do not is the notification and live tile update. The built-in calendar acts like a real time application, whereas any custom requires a background process to update, or interaction from the user.

hi,
that true - a developer can use the windows live sdk to CRUD calendar entries in the windows live calendar.
The major drawback: Appointments created/modified/deleted do not show up in the WP calendar - they show up the next time, the windows live calendar has been synced back to the phone calendar.
Next problem: A user have to give it's permissions to access the live calendar - this is possible but not the best way to do it - it should be done with a "ModifyAppointmentTask" and a "DeleteAppointmentTask" where a user have to give his permission to modify/delete calendar entries.
Next thing: A developer has to create an access layer for ALL caledar types a user has configured on his phone (exchange, google, facebook ...). When a users wants to create appointments in one of these calendars he has to sign in to the specific calendar. Of course this is not as user friendly as the built in calendar.
Most important thing: All this methods to CRUD calendar entries already exist (the built in calendar uses them) - making them accessible for a developer via a Task (like the new "SaveAppointmentsTask") imho. is the best way this can + should be done.
