How to Display Dates in Calendar View from Database

Question

I needed help with this. How do I display dates in Android CalendarView widget? I have MySQL database with dates, and I can query it with PHP and get JSON data from that. The problem I am having is how do I display these dates in CalendarView? And do I do it so when it is clicked, it takes me to new activity that corresponds to the date that is clicked?

Convert your database date to milliseconds then use this function . http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/CalendarView.html#setDate%28long%29 — Md Abdul Gafur, Dec 31 '14 at 04:38

Convert your database date to milliseconds then use this function.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/CalendarView.html#setDate%28long%29

then you can able to added click event by

calendarView.setOnDateChangeListener(new OnDateChangeListener() {

            @Override
            public void onSelectedDayChange(CalendarView view, int year, int month,
                    int dayOfMonth) {

**here you start new activity.**

            }
        });

thanks

Also, how do you think I can do so that I don't need to make the method for many different days? Like how do I use only one? – Kartik Prabhu Dec 31 '14 at 05:12
Meaning, if the user clicks on any of the days, it takes them to a page, where it is then customized for the date he clicked on – Kartik Prabhu Dec 31 '14 at 05:13
This is OPP concept. Read about it. – Md Abdul Gafur Dec 31 '14 at 05:14
Ok, very good. How do I do so that when I add an event, it changes the color of that? Can I use CalendarView? Or do I have to use some other class, such as ExtendedCalendarView? – Kartik Prabhu Dec 31 '14 at 17:36
