When will Android have a public Calendar API?
android
Solution
according to one post on the dev group, regarding calendar access:
Definitely not for 1.6, very unlikely for 2.0, and it is probably a safe assumption that it is not public because it is likely to change in the future

not sure what the future plans are, but there is an interesting hack to gain read access to the calendar via the undocumented api:
- Accessing the internal calendar database inside Google Android applications: http://jimblackler.net/blog/?p=151
of course if your android device is online, you can read/write through the standard calendar data api:

Problem
Is someone from Google able to advise when the Android SDK is likely to include a public API for reading/writing event data to the user's calendar? Searching the forums I see that this is a much desired feature by many developers but I haven't seen any indication as to when (or even if) this need will be addressed. Thanks in advance ...
