Thank you. I saw that as well, but so few people are on API 17 that's not a 
viable option yet.

I agree that adding a UUID to every description is not a great option as the 
users might dislike that. Too bad there's isn't a universally accepted 
"free-form" hidden field that could be used for this.

Subject: Re: How identify calendar event across devices?
 

What I did in one of my apps was adding a tag with a UUID in each event 
description text. It's not really pretty but I could not find any other 
solution to this problem. However, I just checked again and noticed that API 
level 17 introduced an additional events column called UID_2445. It's the 
iCalendar unique event id. A little late to the party, but better late than 
never.

Is there a GUID that I can use to identify events across different devices on 
the same calendar account? The "_id" seems to be a local Id.
