Adding a Custom CalendarView Using Android Studio to Highlight Event Dates

For the past six months or so I have been trying to add a calendar to my android app without success. I have the calendar widget that comes with Android Studio but that has limited functionality. I googled Custom CalendarView and found that Caldroid was the recommended custom calendar to use. However its not that easy to implement especially for a novice like myself. Then I stumbled upon CompactCalendarView by SundeepK which was easier to implement. It can be found at the link below:

 https://github.com/SundeepK/CompactCalendarView

 It only took 4 steps:

  • Add the dependency to the build.gradle app file
  • Add the CompactCalendarView widget to your XML layout file
  • Add the gist below to your main activity file
  • Run your program.




Below is a youtube video that helps you with the steps.
