Copy android contacts' birthday to calendar

Question

I'm an htc tattoo owner, and i'm watching for a way to copy contacts' birthday (retrieved from facebook) to the built-in calendar.

I'm not afraid to develop a custom app but i'll be more happy if there's one built-in or already existing...

Thinking over this thing, i realized there's more fun creating a custom app... :P

Do you know if there's a way to read contacts' informations and write it to the calendar?

Answer 1

You can check the following link to read contacts data :

For Calendar: You need to build the CalendarProvider from sources and install it. It has the APIs which will allow you to save the events into the calendar.
