Custom calendar is a simple Android app that allows users to view a monthly calendar with the ability to mark certain days as upcoming events, meetings, conferences, and holidays. It uses the Android Data Binding library and RecyclerView to create a dynamic and interactive calendar view.
- Display a monthly calendar with days of the week.
- Navigate between months.
- Mark specific days as needed.
- Customize the appearance of the events.

Custom Calendar is designed as a sample project, but you can use its components as a starting point for your own calendar-related applications. Here's an overview of the key components:
This is the main activity that holds the calendar. It initializes the calendar view, handles navigation between months, and defines off-days (holidays) for demonstration purposes.
The CalendarAdapter is responsible for populating the RecyclerView with calendar items. It also customizes the appearance of days, including marking holidays and highlighting the current day.
The XML layout files (activity_main.xml, item_calendar.xml and item_event.xml) define the UI components used in the app. You can customize these layouts to match your design requirements.
Data Binding is used to bind data between the UI elements and the underlying data model. The XML layouts and the MainActivity class demonstrate how to use Data Binding for efficient UI updates.
