I do apologize if this isn't the correct outlet for my question (Seemed more correct for Software Development rather then General Q & A); I'm working on a application for Android. Since the application is web-based; I'd like the application to have it's own Calendar rather then rely on calling the internal Android functions to utilize their calendar. To avoid transferring from my application to the calendar application.
But I'd love to use an Interface that is similar; does anyone know of any great calendar modules that are open-source? or reusable UI schemes for a calendar?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Components
You can find Android components on the Verious Marketplace.
I don't know of any calendar components, but there are basic UI components and open source projects that you can likely use as building blocks for your app.

Hello all. I hope I have the right forum for this question. I have recently moved from Iphone to a Galaxy S2. One of the most useful apps on the Iphone for me was the factory supplied 'Notes' app on the iOS platform. What was even better about this was that it syncs with notes on Gmail/google and on more than once this feature has saved my skin as I tend to store a lot of everyday notes on this, so rely on it a lot.
Question is, is there a similar app on Android - preferably free but the most importance feature must be the same ability to sync with Google.
Maybe you try ColorNote or Evernote, both support online sync.
Hi!
I'm kind of sick of using the Windows Platform but im bound to the platform because of Outlook and im looking for an alternative.
I want an app that can be used on my Android device that has all or almost all the functions of Outlook.
I've look inside the market for the entire day for apps that could fit in to the description but i couldn't find any good.
It's called a planner, with calendar, to-do lists and all those things, Mail is not required.
The program needs to work for both PC(multiplatform) and Android.
Since i couldn't find anything properly myself since i don't know where to look, i'd thought i could turn to the experienced people at XDA-Dev.
So my question is if there is any proper alternatives, even outside the market or inside, that could replace Outlook, with the same functionality.
Also i'd rather also avoid cloud sync.
I'm looking for a technique or an app that allows me to display a specific Google calendar in an application with one touch and without the use of a web browser or widget.
Ideally, I would simply tap a shortcut on a homescreen that would open an android calendar app, displaying only the specified Google calendar.
The real world use case is that my office is in a building with a shared conference room that has it's own resource calendar. Sometimes, there will be a spark of inspiration and our team will want to get together in the conference room to discuss. Currently, I have to either run to my desk and view the calendar or go through a lot of trouble on my phone to drill down to the day, then hour and select a particular calendar to create an event to reserve the conference room. It would be so much more efficient if I could click one button to see if the conference room is already taken and click once more to create a reservation event if it's available.
I've used AppXplore to expose the intents of the built in Calendar app for use with Tasker. com.android.calendar.selectcalendars.SelectVisibleCalendarsActivity looks promising but I'm not sure of the Extra activity information that would be necessary to only display my desired calendar. I was thinking that I might create a Tasker task that removes all the other calendars from view, open the calendar app, and wait for a particular event to re-activate the other calendars. But again, I'm not sure about the Extras that would be necessary.
Perhaps there's an app that can create shortcuts on the desktop for each calendar. Or perhaps someone knows how to achieve this with Tasker or a shell command. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
hi guys i have a question.
does anyone know of any app which allows for syncing with a fitness tracker (much like a fitbit) but also allows for formation of groups for peer evaluation/tracking/encouragement?
it would be a plus too if the app could generate reports which can be shared with others.
any ideas? thanks in advance
edit: sorry i realise this is in the wrong section, any mods can move me to the right one?
Lately I have been wondering why Android still does not have native support for CalDAV & CardDAV, when both have been the de-facto open standard for contacts and calendar sync for years. Is there no native support because Google wants it to make it more difficult to use alternatives to their services? (In my case: NextCloud/ownCloud, which I can add right away even to an old Iphone, but still do not work with android out of the box without something like DAVDroid) Or are there plans to integrate it into future versions?
What's the problem with installing an app? Android has a native API for contacts and calendars, so I guess they can't be accused of making it "difficult". They probably just don't want to make it "too easy".
One could also ask why 99,9% of app developers don't support APK distribution but require users to use GApps & Play Store …

Which is not answering my question whether it is planned to have native support for CalDAV/CardDAV.
CardDAV / CalDAV are open standards for data exchange just like IMAP, NTP, SMTP and so on. It would be only natural for android to support them
