I am an experienced developer, but an Android newbie. I have a Droid Eris (Android 1.5), and the awkwardness of adding events to a calendar is driving me nuts. I already made a feature request, but wonder whether (a) newer versions of Android already have something like this OR (b) if I could get some implementation advice on the following idea. In particular, I wonder if there is a hook available for me to receive the necessary trigger when the user selects a time from the Calendar Day View, as described below, along with the necessary parameters (day and time that the user requested).
Alternatively, perhaps the Calendar source code is available, and I should modify that. Thanks in advance for your advice. ------------------------ When adding an event (in Android 1.5) from the Day View, we currently get the full event-add dialog, say for Thursday at 4pm. An additional simple interface would make it much easier to add events to calendars, as described below. Assume that the event is being added to the default calendar (e.g., your Google Calendar). The first line in the screen contains 5 buttons for times in 30-minute increments around the initial time. E.g., in the 4pm example the buttons read: 3:30, 3:45, 4:00 (highlighted), 4:15 and 4:30. The second line shows an event-duration. There are only four choices (0, 30min, 60min, all day). Below that is the event description. Below that is a popup menu for reminders (same as on the current event add-screen). Below that are the opportunities to Save&Cancel. Note that event location and event description are omitted. If there's room above, there could be a button to take you to the full- blown event entry dialog.
