How To Access User's Calendar On Android Device?

I'm writing simple Android app to filter some events from user's calendar. The questions is, what is the best way to access it? One option that comes to my mind is through Google C

Solution 1:

Is there any way to access the calendar through Android? Meaning that I will only access it locally and Android itself will handle the authentication, synchronization, etc.

There is no documented and supported way of doing this. Please use the Google Calendar GData API.

Solution 2:

I am not an android Geek but here are few suggestions as far as I know,

Before Android 2.0 there was no support for this...But I think this works with 2.1 and 2.2, more over some developers already implemented this in their apps.

Solution 3:

There is a good example of accessing Google Calendar Data API from Android using the Google API Client Library for Java at calendar-v2-atom-android-sample. With this solution, Android takes care of the authentication/authorization, but not the synchronization.
