What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. 2. 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Birthdays to be created as "Free", in order not to block the whole day.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 1.8 + 4.0.3 Android + HTC Sense 4.0

Please provide any additional information below. I belive that before the "big" update of the Adapter it has been created correctly.

From domschuermann@gmail.com on January 18, 2013 17:18:52 What do you mean by blocking? In Androids Standard calendar I am able to insert other events on days with the birthday. Does HTCs calendar app display it differently?

From oho...@gmail.com on January 19, 2013 17:57:03 Attached 2 snapshots: one is the view of the event where "Status" is and second shows the options. This either makes you available or blocks the defined time. In case of birthday it is a full day block. As I wrote before, the previous versions (before the "huge" update) did that correctly as "Free" event. I do not know how the standard Android calendar looks like. Are these options not there? How is that at the new Google calendar?

From domschuermann@gmail.com on January 19, 2013 18:41:34 Thanks for these information. On Androids standard calendar, all day events are displayed as one block above all other events, not blocking anything. (similar to all day events in this screenshot i found http://www.android-sync.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/calendar_device.png)

I would like to see how it is displayed in your Calendar. Is it not on top of all other events? Is it displayed over the whole day?

What I can do is set the status to free for all events. I will do that in the next release.

From oho...@gmail.com on January 19, 2013 18:59:46 Attached view at the day, where the birthday is really at the top. No issue. But when you open the birthday event you see there is a warning of a conflict, which is indicated at 3rd snapshot. The reason is that the birthday runs through the whole day. I have just check some of my own full day events where I set up "Free" status. There is no conflict. It would be great if this feature can be in next version implemented.
