How do I access the Calendar/Events from Android SDK?

Question

I am trying to write an app that relies on Calendar events. I was going to write it as a service, and just have it check the calendar from time to time, but I found out that the SDK does not offer direct access to the Calendar yet. So is there any other way to access Events?

Maybe a broadcast when an event starts and stops? Something like that, I'm not sure.

Answer 1

So is there any other way to access Events?

The same way you would outside of Android, using Google GData APIs for Google Calendar.

Answer 2

Okay thanks, I'll look into that.

Answer 3

Aint there a database/content provider where all the calender events are stored?
