First of all, let me say that this is the easiest tool I came across for app development. I am developing an app for a conference. It would be great to have a list of workshops at the conference, with a add-me-to-calendar button of link. This button or link should add that particular event to the calendar on the Android or iOS device. Is this possible? If yes, please let me know how? In not, BuzzTouch should seriously think of adding such a powerful functionality into this tool. Regards, Dolphus

Hi Dolphus, Welcome to Buzztouch! Not sure of your level of expertise, but it appears it can be done programatically this way : http://mobileorchard.com/ios-advanced-programming-event-kit-framework/ Mark

Google calendar works that way. So does facebook. You can place a desktop google calendar in your app. Done this. You can get an api to place a mobile google calendar in the app. Haven't done this.

Fred-- what are you referring to when you say Google calendar works that way? Are you just saying those apps do that, answering it's possible? Or are you saying you've done this...

I've integrated a google calendar into my app. As the app user I can go the calendar in my app and add events to my personal calendar Viewed either on my desktop, Facebook or with a calender app. As the Google calender creator I can add events to the calendar showing in the app. Google provides calendar API's for a truly mobile experience. I'll get around to that. I cheated by just using the link from my google calendar. You do lose a few feature but it's done and works. Fed

I think by using the Google Calendar API the apps calendar would allow the user to see their calender events in addition to scheduled events in the app without using a separate calendar app.

The problem that I've had is with using the Google Calendar html code is that when a user taps to add the event, Google interferes and asks about using the mobile version of GCal and loses the request to create an event (whether the user chooses to use the mobile version or not), so I end up with nothing. (This is on iOS)

I think I unknowingly avoided that problem by using the calendar link and not the API. No HTML other than the link. I used Android. FRED

I think the difference in your app is that you already have a google calendar embedded in the app. So a user can touch an event and choose copy to my calendar, right?

Perhaps, I haven't looked at that app in three months. I don't think I did anything else. Last month I created an app with a link to a website calander, it also allowed me to add events to my google calendar. Not sure how they created the calendar, but it must (?) be a google calendar. Fred
