Which "new way"? Please add a link to an api documentation

By adding an Event in the Android Google Calendar App, you can now choose between "Event, Task, Birthday". "Birthday" is the new Event Type. Here is an example from the ICS export:

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230202
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230203
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTHDAY=2;BYMONTH=2

@gitknd The birth year is missing. So it's not possible to use those events for the adapter.

ok, thanks, i understand, May it's a kind of solution to add a configurable "dummy year" (e.g. 1900) in those cases, because i think that this function will get more attention in the future.... Just an idea....
