How to arrange events for a daily calendar properly? - android

Helo,
I've got a calendar view, which displays every hour amond each other.
Now I want to add some LinearLayouts, so that my Events in my calendar are added.
But now the problem: What if there are several Events at the same time?
The first problem is, that the green box has to fit the screen under the blue and yellow box.
The second problem is, that the violet box has to be shown at the first column if there is no space available.
Does anybody know a good algorithm to solve this problem?
Thank you.

Overlaying Text On Top Of A Checkbox On Android

I want to make a custom checkbox for my Alarm clock app, to match the days of the week. When unchecked, it would display the letter of the day of the week; when checked, it would show the letter in a circle. If needs be, I can always make a vector image of each state for each of the days; but it seems that if possible, it would be much more simple and useful to be able to superimpose the text over top of the checkbox image. On researching, it seems people used to have problems with this happening on accident when setting the padding to 0, but this was fixed and is no longer an option.
Does anybody know if there is currently a way to accomplish this by design? Another option I thought of is doing this in a normal button and adding checked functionality, but this seems like taking a step backwards and reinventing the wheel. Any thoughts?
It was so obvious in retrospect, it makes me regret how long I spent Googling it. A negative paddingStart will move the text back over the chechbox, but will cut off the end of the checkbox - at least in the GridView it was a part of. Adding a paddingEnd sufficient to counterbalance it pushed the grid back to the right so it wasn't cutting off the end of the checkbox.

Scrolling between dates in android

I am working on a project where i have to horizontally scroll between dates.I don't want to use a date picker.I would like to have two arrows for previous and next buttons.When i click on the next button the next date should be shown.Also each time a new date is selected i want to call a web service by passing the particular date.How do i go about doing this?
I have considered using a horizontal date picker library but i am not satisfied with the solutions which i am finding on the internet.
You can use ViewPager for the same.

How can I can program a calendar in Android?

I have to program in Android a calendar that shows a month, that I can slide horizontally to show other months. I tried with the calendarview but it's an infinite scrollable calendar, I need to show a month at once.
One more thing: how can I change the color and the style of a single day in the calendar? For example, to show in which days there are events and in which not.
Thank you very much in advance!

Change orientation of DatePicker in Android?

I am having some UI problems with the DatePicker. Setting dates in my app relies on the day of the week, which the DatePicker lacks without the calendar, so I am using the calendar so the user can see the day of the week. The only problem is, it displays them side to side like this:
Which makes the calendar appear very cramped, especially because this is on a mobile device, so the numbers are very small. Is there a way to make the orientation change, where the slider is on the top and the calendar is on the bottom? The calendar looks much better when it doesn't have the slider next to it as it is bigger, but I need both the slider and calendar.

Android tutorial for implementing scrollable lable with touch

I want to implement a date scroll label which displays a current date.
Now, user can touch the date and scroll either left or right direction ( something similar to unlock functionality or monthview scroller)
Based on the direction, either previous or next date should be displayed in the label part.
And user can do the same scrolling with multiple times.
Can anyone provide me the link for the tutorial which explains details about implementing such control.
