I'd have a follow up question on this: I'm using the Android Calendar Provider with account_type = 'com.google' to display appointments. I'm also associating images with those appointments in my own database by using the EVENT_ID of the appointment as a reference. Is it possible to keep a reference to the same appointment across multiple devices without using these SYNC_DATA columns?
