I want to add to my application the ability for the user to create events at specific dates. I've looked around on the internet and on SO, and found out that android 2.3.3 does not have calendar, so I need to use a custom calendar. I've looked around and found some, but they don't support creating events. I've also read about CalendarProvider but it didn't work with the custom calendars. Can someone please recommend me an open-source custom calendar for android 2.3.3 that support creating events.
Thanks
EDIT: Or if there is some kind of tutorial on how I can make my own custom calendar that would be helpful too.

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 ?

I have been looking around and what I have found is a google code project for calendar view but it's not what I'm looking for.
What I'd like is the ability to use the view that is the default day view of the default Calendar application. Does anyone know whether or not I can use it's day view in my app or if their is one that was developed and released that I can use?
Again I don't want a full month view or really even a week view. At the moment I just want a day view like so many of us use to quickly glance at what we've got going on for the day.
I'm also not interested at this time of fetching google calendar appointments or merging with them. This will be a separate list of appointments / tasks that from their own data source. I have all that done now I'm just trying to find a pretty way to display them (listview is a tad bit basic lol).

You can probably find the source code for it in the Android open source project, but it may not be designed for reuse.
Android 3.x has a CalendarView widget; once the source code for Android 3.x is released (hopefully later this year), it may be that you can back-port that to older Android versions.
The iosched application from Google I|O 2011 has its own calendar view.
Most of the functionality that is hard to write is already in the java.util.Calendar class and subclasses. It should be fairly easy to write a thin UI wrapper around an instance of Calendar? You would only be re-inventing the user interface, not date logic :-)

Thank you in advance.
Edit: i found the calendar view control but any other way to use calendars which is better then this ?
Ancal is a good android calendar control. Also an its opensource android control.
it seems android calendar api is not available. can you please give me some tips and tricks for creating a similar thing.just like creating events,meeting, birthday etc.. and also notification when the event occurs. and also layout should be similar to-our in-built calendar give me some ideas or hint about look and logic?
To send notifications, read creating status bar notifications.
To create layouts, read declaring layout, common layout objects, and hello GridView. There is an equivalent introductory tutorial for each layout type.
You can access the Calendar events through the Data API. However, the Android specific calendar APIs are not part of the public Android SDK. Thus, you could access them, but it is highly recommended that you do not since they are likely to change in future versions of the os.
