Add option to export the schedule to Google Calendar

[jguerinet]

Should we use the .ics code that Selim wrote ? Or the native Android tools ?

Hi Julien,

I started looking up some documentation on GoogleCalendarAPI and it seems like I would need an access to the Google Developer Console to use it.[1]

An alternative to this would be to use the .ics file to fire up an calendar app(including Googel Calendar).

Hey Simon,

Sorry for the late response. There are 2 ways of doing it:

• Use the ics file that we generate to open up the calendar app (Not entirely sure how this would work, I haven't researched it)
• Use the Android Calendar API (and not the GoogleCalendarAPI) to add it to the user's default calendar (which is more often than not a Google Calendar). You can see how this is done just by searching it on Google (here's one of the first tutorials I found for example: http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/android-essentials-adding-events-to-the-users-calendar--mobile-8363)

No promises but I'll look into this. I manually create events for my courses anyways so it would be useful.

@AllanWang this was the beginning, it needs to be Kotlinized and integrated but it's a start of an ICS exporter.
