Touchable Apps

How you add the widget to your homescreen depends on what phone you have. On Android phones running Gingerbread (Android 2.3) or earlier, find an empty space on your home screen and tap-and-hold on it. A menu should pop up with a “Widget” option. Tapping that will bring up a list on which you should find Touch Calendar widget of various sizes.

On tablets running Honeycomb or devices running Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) such as the Galaxy Nexus, bring up the app launcher then tap where it says Widgets. Then find the Touch Calendar widget and tap-and-hold on it to add it to your home screen.

On some devices such as HTC devices, there will be a ‘+’ icon you  can tap to add things to your homescreen.

Widgets are only available in the full version of Touch Calendar.

To edit an event, first tap the event to open it, then press MENU.  You should see options to edit or delete the event, as long as it’s editable on your phone.

Event colours come from the calendar. The usual way to get events in different colours is to use calendars from your Google account. You can go to http://google.com/calendar on the web to change calendar colours and add new colours.

Click the arrow next to 'my calendars' to add a new calendar. Move your move to the right of a calendar name and another arrow will appear, to let you change the calendar colour.

To add a new calendar: click the little triangle / down arrow to the right of “My calendars”. Click ‘Create new calendar’.

To change a calendar’s colour: See under “My calendars” on the left in Google Calendar for the list of calendars, move your mouse to the right of the calendar name, and click the little triangle that appears to the right of the calendar name to see the colour options.

Note: you only have to do this once. Once it’s done, you’ll see the calendars you created under the “Calendar” heading in the add event screen of Touch Calendar, and will be able to select the one you want.

If you have a Samsung phone you may have a calendar called “My calendar”. This calendar is built-in to your phone and its colour can’t be changed. I don’t recommend using that calendar.
