Only the "add-to-web-then-sync-to-device approach" is supported, which is the point that Kostya and I have been trying to make. Unless you are planning on joining Google, taking over the Calendar app, and forcing parts of it into the SDK, worrying about whether "add-to-device-then-sync-to-web approach" is better or not is navel-gazing. You may as well wonder how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. (I tried determining that once, but I kept crushing the angels when trying to put them on a pile, probably with dire consequences for my afterlife...) Now, don't get me wrong. I'd love for these undocumented approaches to be standardized and supported. I spoke with a Googler on this issue at Google I|O and was told that it wasn't a priority. And considering that the undocumented/unsupported Gmail content provider is now blocked, I wouldn't hold out tons o' hope that the others will necessarily hit the SDK any time soon. OTOH, SonyEricsson is apparently in favor of using this stuff, based on a presentation scheduled for next week's droidcon UK, so, who knows... -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
