I'm trying to code a calendar page that highlights certain days with events on them. The calendar also needs to be able to disable certain dates from being clicked, such that the user is unable to select those dates. The designs of the calendar page are as follows:
I've looked for tutorials but was unable to find any that fits the requirements of my app, without using a library. Is there really no way to achieve this without the use of a library? And if I do have to use a library, how should I go about integrating it in this Xamarin application?
Any help or advice to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Your requirements can take time to implement, using a 3rd-party Library is what you might be looking for.
This library: XamForms.Controls.Calendar has some great controls as what I can see will suit your needs, over all it has a great documentation so give it a try!
Did you try the below link ?

Does anyone know anything about useful time range picker libraries that are open source? For example, the app Twilight uses some custom slider view for picking time ranges that I find very appealing (see bottom):
Is this open-source or are there similarly functional pickers? I could not find anything useful in the docs or on Android Arsenal.
Alternatively, I might build it from scratch. I was just wondering if there is not anything around yet.
You can try this slider from Material Design library and implements for youself:

ps. check the section: "Setting a LabelFormatter"

My academic project require displaying the current month's calendar with few details like number of visits a user has made on particular day. No other functionality is required like reminder, note, etc. I just need to display the following format. I searched many calendar APIs but unable to find one which serves the purpose. Your help would be highly appreciated.
You can create your own calendar with use of a View pager and GridView . As i can see you need to select multiple days in particular month, you need a a customized one .

These are some awesome work by the coders you can use this in your project and take the idea of building a calender on your own.Thx.
I want to implement a Week View Calender like the ones below. Another example may be the ICS Google Calender. The events will come from a database. So far i don't know where to start. Any ideas how i do this? Code and layout will be appreciated.
The calendar application that comes with stock android is open source. You can see the source code here. Getting a feel for this applications layout might be a good place to start.
Maybe you'll want to reuse some of this code.
Android Week View. can you use this Source code here

i have searched a lot to find an example with a calendar ui showing a dayview, so you are able to see a day with its events.
If I understand things right even in android 4.0.3 there is no calendarview which is able to show day views (only monthview).
So I have to use a gridview, don't I?
Has anyone an example or tutorial how to do this?
Many thanks in advance!
I was looking for the same thing, and could find no good options, so I created the yadview project (https://code.google.com/p/yadview). yadview is a fork of the DayView schedule in the AOSP Calendar app, but has been reworked significantly to allow for integration into your application.
