I think the question says it all: is it possible to display events in the Android default CalendarView
?
I know that it is made for widgets and not for a real Calendar application but my app should not be a Calendar application. It is only a little feature in my app so I think the View is perfect for my claims. I only can't view events in it, otherwise it is perfect for me.
I read this answer and tried to overwrite the onDraw method from CalenderView
:
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas)
{
p = new Paint();
p.setColor(Color.RED);
p.setStrokeWidth(10);
super.onDraw(canvas);
canvas.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100, p);
}
But even this code does not work and no rectangle is displayed. The other 4 methods are private
so I can't overwrite them. Any other ideas how I can solve this problem? I do not want to use a library, but if there is no other way I'm looking for something what is really near to the stock CalendarView
. Or maybe I can create a calendar file which is only visible in my app and not in other calendar apps?
You can't add events in default CalendarView
. either you need to make it custom or you need to use some library.
I have used Caldroid library many times.it is easy to implement and robust.
