Hi, > Are you saying there is no way to help the user subscribe to a public> google > calendar via the new calendar api? There just isn't a *supported* way via the Android Calendar API. (You can always do some reverse engineering and get something that work for now. But it may break suddenly one day when the user gets an update. So I really really want discourage everyone from doing that.)
> Is there a better, more supported way to do this? The only supported way today is to talk to the server directly via the GData api. You need to figure out how to get the credentials. http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/data/2.0/developers_guide.html Looks like the code below is doing that. > Also what do you mean by using the browser? Can I make the calendar > visible and sync'ed via the browser? 2 way: 1) Instruct the user to do it manually 2) Send the user to https://www.google.com/calendar/render?cid=<calendar ID> or http://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/<domain>/render?cid=<calendar ID>. The user has to say they want to use the desktop UI, zoom in, and click "Yes, add this calendar". It is not a great experience. The other drawback here is that the user won't be able to choose which account the calendar should be added to.
