## Features



* No advertising. Free and Open Source.

* Displays events from selected calendars and task lists.

* Displays birthdays from you contacts.

* Select how far ahead to display events (one week, one month, etc.). Optionally shows past events.

* Automatically updates when you add/delete/modify an event. Or you may update the list instantly.

* Customize colors and text size of the widget.

* Fully resizable widget with two alternative layouts and layout customizations.

* Lock time zone when travelling to different time zones.

* Backup and restore settings, cloning widgets on the same or different devices.

* Android 6+ supported. Supports Android tablets.



Note on Tasks support: As there is no unified way to access tasks created in different applications, each application needs its own implementation. Currently supported:

* [OpenTasks (by dmfs GmbH)](https://github.com/dmfs/opentasks).

* [Tasks.org (by Alex Baker)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tasks).

* Tasks of Samsung Calendar.



Tasks from Google Tasks are supported with the use

of [Tasks.org (by Alex Baker)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tasks).

## Changelog



### v9



* Support for Android 15.



### v8



* It is now possible to configure the background color of the header, and to add a separator betweeen the header and the

  contents.

* It is now possible to use a different language than the rest of the system (when running on Android 13 or

  later). [Change app language](https://support.google.com/android/answer/12395118?hl=en).

* Fixed crash if contacts permission (necessary in order to show birthdays) is removed.

* Support for Android 14.

* Android 6+ is now required.



### v7



* Support for Android 13.



### v6



* Adds a periodic refresh every hour, because sometimes notifications of changes in the events are missed.



### v5



* Support for Android 12.



### v4



* It is now possible to display birthdays from your contacts, if your calendar does not create events for birthdays.



### v3



* Added support for [Tasks.org (by Alex Baker)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tasks). This

  application also supports Google Tasks, so you can now see your Google Tasks in Kalendar.

* Canceled events and tasks are not shown anymore.

* If the task app is not installed, a button is displayed to install it.

* Dark mode support.



### v2.4.0



* Ongoing events are highlighted in a different color.

* [Text size scaling improved](https://github.com/plusonelabs/calendar-widget/issues/301) - Now size of text in all parts of the widget changes, when you change "Text size" option.

* [Backup and Restore widget settings](https://github.com/plusonelabs/calendar-widget/issues/330). Convenient for cloning settings to another widget on the same device. Good for moving widget settings to another device, but may require calendars selection adjustment in this case.

* It's now possible to set the colors of the widget texts individually, instead of selecting a theme (which was confusingly called a "shading").

* Hopefully fixed intermittent "No events" display instead of actual list of events. Separate "[ToDo Agenda Not Initialized yet...](https://github.com/plusonelabs/calendar-widget/issues/318)" layout added to see the widget, when it is not initialized yet (e.g. after device reboot).



### v2.3.0



* [Don't show time for All day events](https://github.com/plusonelabs/calendar-widget/issues/236).

* Show end date for multi-day all day events when "Fill all day events" is disabled.

* Show end time for events spanning more than one day (but not all day events) when "Fill all day events" is disabled.

* [Display location independently of time](https://github.com/plusonelabs/calendar-widget/issues/221), including showing location for All day events.



### v2.2.0



* Fixes all-day events disappearing before the end of the day.



### [v2.1](https://github.com/plusonelabs/calendar-widget/issues/308) Tasks support



* Tasks support added. Two Task apps are supported: [OpenTasks (by dmfs GmbH)](https://github.com/dmfs/opentasks) and Tasks of Samsung Calendar. 



### [v2.0.0](https://github.com/plusonelabs/calendar-widget/issues/291) Renamed and republished



* The "Calendar Widget" renamed to "Todo Agenda" and published to Google Play as [the new application](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.andstatus.todoagenda).



### [v1.10.1](https://github.com/plusonelabs/calendar-widget/issues?q=milestone%3A1.10.1)



* Fix issue where widget would crash because of unexpected widgetId

* Translations updates



### [v1.10.0](https://github.com/plusonelabs/calendar-widget/issues?q=milestone%3A1.10.0)



* Added: Different settings for different Widget instances allow you to create any number of

customized views of your events, including configuration of different calendars for different widgets.

All setting are separate for each Widget instance. In order not to get confused in 

configurations of different widgets, you can launch "Calendar Widget" with your Android Launcher 

and you will be presented with a widget selection list. Each widget can be given its name 

to ease configuring. See [screenshots](https://github.com/plusonelabs/calendar-widget/issues/37#issuecomment-290968481). 

* Added: "Show day headers" option to disable day headers completely.

* Added: The alternative widget layout: "All in one row". Each event can now occupy literally one line 

only. "Appearance -> Event entry layout" option allows 

to switch between the "Time below title" layout and this new one. When used with the

"Show day headers" option, this layout almost doubles number of events visible in a widget without scrolling.

"Days from Today" column replaces day headers in a case the Day Headers are 

turned off. See [screenshots](https://github.com/plusonelabs/calendar-widget/issues/42#issuecomment-289261236).

* Added: "Abbreviate dates" option allows to have shorter date format for both Widget and Day headers.

* Added: "Lock time zone" option to show events in the same Time Zone when travelling to different time zones.

* Added: "Show only the closest instance of a recurring event". You can set 

"Event Filters"->"Date range" to "One year", and your agenda won't be an endless list of the same events.

* Improved: Use space or commas in "Hide based on keywords in a title". Place a text in single or

double quotes in order to have space or comma in a filter.

* Android 7 compatibility, including support of permissions introduced in Android 6.
