I am using jQuery Mobile for my web application. Can someone suggest a plugin/library/source code that I can use to add an event calendar to my mobile web application? Naturally, it must be compatible with jQM and across iOS & Android devices.
I think he's not looking for a datepicker but a fullgrown calendar, like this http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/ just for mobile devices. I tried using this, but the usability on mobile devices was not good. I'm using a simple list view now to show events.
Thanks Christian. Mobile device compatibility across smartphones & tablets is the prime requirement here. I'd appreciate any insight into the issues you encountered while checking out this component.
The main problem with the fullcalendar on mobile devices was scrolling. The calendar uses a scrollable area in the middle of the screen (vertically). Scrolling that area isn't really possible on mobile devices. I tried configuring the calendar so scrolling wouldn't be necessary for the user (showing all hours in dayview without scrolling) but didn't succeed.
dhtmlxScheduler has a mobile version of the event calendar. You can check the demo here (requires mobile device to view). The code is licensed under GPL.
