Choose which calendars to show

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From an internal dogfooder

Choose which calendars to show, not only visible calendars.

Actively working on a patch for this.

Ideally it would make sense to show the list of available calendars similar to 
how the Gmail extension shows accounts. One potential issue I see with this is 
having calendars with identical names across accounts. 

One possible solution is to show a sectioned list with the account names as 
headers and the calendar names listed.

How does that sound from a UX perspective?

Yeah, that sounds fine. Something like an ExpandableListView perhaps.

I need this badly, 'cause I have lots of calendars activated in my calendar 
app, but only a few of them need a reminder on my lock screen.

I don't know much about coding, but could you present it in a similar way to 
how the Calendar app let's you choose which calendars to display?

Here's how it shows up in the cLock settings:

[The bats were badly shopped in, but you get the idea]

The last thing on the list [the covered one] is my exchange calendar, it just 
shows my corporate email address. I don't know if cLock can easily access the 
exchange email because it's built into the system, but ideally something like 
this would allow us to select whichever calendars we want to show.

I implemented the extension logic for this to only show selected calendars. 
Next on the list is the UI for selecting said calendars. 

I'm debating whether the expandable list shows up in a dialog or if it should 
be in a ListFragment. Any thoughts on that?

Mike— a single preference leading to a dialog with an expandable list view 
seems most natural, but feel free to experiment :)
