This is a Facebook calendar sync app written for Android. I looked everywhere on the Android app store for a Facebook sync app that worked as its own calendar provider. Rather than syncing with the Google calendar, this app generates its own calendar within Android for syncing and storing Facebook events.

The app stores Facebook events in 5 calendars:

Events I'm Attending: Contains events the user has RSVP'd as "Going"

Events I May Be Attending: Contains events the user has RSVP'd as "Maybe"

Events I Am Not Attending: Contains events the user has RSVP'd as "Not Going"

Events I Have Not Responded To: Contains events the user has been invited to but not responded to

Friends' Birthdays: User's friends' birthdays

Benefits:

- Sync issues with Google services do not cause ghosted or duplicate events

- Use this app on all your Android devices without worrying about collisions between sync processes on multiple devices

- Use of Android's built-in account management, sync, and calendar APIs improves sync reliability and battery life on your device

Features:

Android 4.0.3+:

- Set sync schedule: Set how often the app will sync with Facebook. This is not an exact setting, since the SyncAdapter is controlled by Android directly, but Android will do its best to sync at your desired sync rate.

- Calendar colors: Choose a user-defined color for each of the five calendars the app creates.

Android 4.1+:

- Custom app link: Adds Facebook link to all events created by this app. Requires your calendar app to support CUSTOM_APP_URI. The default Google Calendar app does this by adding a button just after the event description. Link will take the user to the Facebook event page (if clicked in an event) or friend's Facebook profile (if clicked in a friend's birthday).

I am actively working on developing/improving this app. Please provide any comments/issues/suggestions so I can make this a better utility for Android Facebook users everywhere: https://goo.gl/AeESBX
