Thanks! That's a very handy link. I've succeeded in adding events to the calendar on a Cliq, but my first event (which had no time) seems to have driven the Calendar sync protocol mad. My Calendar no longer syncs any events back to Google Calendar on the web, and the web interface claims I have made too many changes and can no longer be allowed to add events by hand.
I'm going to have to write some code to try to clean up my events from the Calendar database on the device. But I can see that this might be part of the explanation for the Calendar API still being closed... :-) I found a couple more links, with similar information to yours : http://android.arnodenhond.com/tutorials/calendar http://www.developer.com/ws/article.php/3850276/Working-with-the-Android-Calendar.htm Richard On Jan 23, 2:47 am, andrew android <andygoldm...@gmail.com> wrote: > .....http://www.developer.com/ws/article.php/3850276/Working-with-the-Andr... > is best place for info. > > On Jan 22, 8:17 pm, andrew android <andygoldm...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I am using the URI.
