J2ME Google Calendar client!
NEW: check out the new Gcal 0.3 version!
Christmas is rapidly approaching, and it’s time for presents!
For those who have always wanted a Google Calendar client for their Java ME enabled cellphones, it is finally here!
It’s still an early alpha, but everyone is welcome to try it and give feedbacks.
Features of this first release include:
- calendar filtering
- events creation
- event searching
- events location map viewing
And here are some screenshots:
For all requests, feedbacks and bugs please leave a comment to this post
Release notes
Compatibility issues:
- Some Nokia Series60 1st and 2nd edition devices have problems in handling HTTP redirects: I’m working on a fix, that will be available in a future GCal release
- You must specify your account name without the ‘@gmail.com’ part, otherwise authentication will fail (an automatic check will be added in the next release): you can now specify ‘@gmail.com’ part in your account name, and authentication will fail no more. Also, if you’re using a mapped domain with Google, you can now use your hosted account data as well.

Thank You for an awesome app!!! It would be great if it could synchronize with local calendar ;)I mean when I create/delete/modify event in local calendar, this change will be made in Gcal as well and “vice versa”(on startup or on refresh) and then it will synchronize with Google Calendar.

Hi Pit, just FYI, I still get the certificate error on my Helio Ocean with the new 0.3.5 version. It seems that other apps requiring a root certificate have been able to include the certificate in the java app and then sign the app when a root certificate version is no longer valid. I found a couple web pages regarding this, but I have to admit, it’s a little over my head;-) Keep up the great work (I may consider changing phones and carriers some day when my contact is up, just to use this app:) Cheers… Chris

Hi! I installed the program on an LG Lotus (Sprint) and after I give it my email and password and try to login, I get the following message: “Error: Login exception (400, Bad Request). I’ve tried it with two different Gmail accounts and keep getting the same error message. Any suggestions? Thanks very much for what looks like a very useful app.

I went back and tried again (LG Lotus) and I noticed that when I enter my password and hit “OK”, the program doesn’t keep all of the letters in the password — which may explain why it’s giving me an error message when I try to log into Google Calendar. Any idea how I might fix that? Thanks again.

Works great!, maybe for improvement. Let it sync with the local calendar? So, it does need to load or connection required everytime.
Good progress!

Great app. Just one thing really: After changing settings i choose ‘save’ and then i have to click ‘exit’. The app exits instead of the ‘settings’ screen. (Nokia E61).

I installed it on Blackberry curve. The Account screen displays Login and Exit buttons which are not accessible on BlackBerry.

This is probably a stupid question, but will this work with the Nokia 6600 fold?

After that I can only quit the program.
