Add preference to use the "show calendar" action for date rows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. tap on date row.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to see Calendar's day view for the date in question.  Instead I see a 
Create Event form.

What Android OS are you using? Which version of Agenda Widget

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Agenda Widget Plus 2.1.5

Please provide any additional information below.

When I tap a date row, Agenda Widget Plus used to go to a Calendar view (I 
think the view of the date I tapped). Recently it started taking me to a Create 
Event screen instead.

I'm not sure exactly when this started happening, but it was sometime in the 
last month or so, during which time I upgraded from ICS to JB. I've kept up 
with AWP updates and am running 2.1.5.

And I think AWP is configured correctly. I haven't reconfigured it for a while, 
but after it started breaking, I went to Settings > More customization > 
Buttons > Calendar click application and selected Calendar, after which Android 
informed me: "Selected: com.google.android.calendar."

Yes, I changed the behavior of the date row.

I will add a preference to use the open behaviour into the button screen in the 
next version. Sorry for the hassle

Thanks, that'd be great! I have a toolbar with a button whose action is Add, 
and I use that to create events, so I don't need a secondary way of doing it... 
but I do really benefit from a quick way to get to a view in Calendar, which is 
what I use date rows for.

No problem. You might notice that the date row "add" should actually set the 
date for you. Also, most calendar applications don't support the deeplinking 
function.

Yes, I noticed that.  But typically I'm adding it to the near future (often to 
today), and it's easier to tap the Add button and then adjust the date slightly 
(if at all) in the Create Event form.

That's true for events in the distant future, too, since scrolling through the 
widget to find a date is cumbersome, and the widget only goes so far anyway.  
For example, today I added a concert I'm going to see at the end of October, 
which I can't do by tapping a date row, as the widget doesn't look that far 
ahead.

Note also that the Add button is always in the same place, so no matter when 
the event occurs, I always tap the same location on the screen of my phone to 
add it.  There's nothing like consistency to make it possible for muscle memory 
to smooth an interaction!
