Hi Michael and thank you. Can you let us know the recommended way to subscribe a user to a public google calendar.
For example, let's say you have a google calendar with public information. for example, some city alerts etc. data. We want to make it easy for the user to subscribe to the public calendar and make it sync'ed and visible (with their permission of course) Today, I have to give them instructions and it seems that each phone manufacturer has implemented the calendar in a different way so the instructions are very complicated. What I'd like to send the user to a screen with the calendar subscription (visible and sync'ed) already set up and let them confirm it.
