The calendar actually has not been tested on Android (only on iOS) but in this case it does appear to be device-specific since other Android users are having success using it.
P.S. - For scrolling on these devices, have you tried the 2-finger swipe. Most mobile users don't seem to be aware that that's the webkit/mobile idiom for a nested scroll event.

But it seems to cover a wide range of Android devices:vlott wrote:The calendar actually has not been tested on Android (only on iOS) but in this case it does appear to be device-specific since other Android users are having success using it.
Photon 4G
Motorola Droid 1
Droid 2 (but using the CM7 ROM works)
Droid Bionic
HTC Droid Incredible
Samsung Captivate
webOS (pre or Touchpad).
Nook Color
Nook Tablet
Samsung Charge
Switching to the Opera browser seems to fix it, but shouldn't be necessary. So it seems to be more of browser then a device issue.
The problem seems to be with the "Uncaught illegal access" in jquery.min.js:16 reported in post #36.
I would hope at some point in the near future that it can be made to work on Android devices, as the leaders will want to update the calendar while in meetings at church. While an app would be nice, it seems like making the web page work for the browser would take less effort.

Good tip for those that it does work.

Another device with blue screen calendar
I also get the blue screen when trying to access the calendar. I am using a Motorola Droid 3 on Verizon 3G, Android version 2.3.4, default browser. Everything seems to work except the calendar.

I have a Droid 3 on Verizon using Android 2.3.4 with the default browser 2.3.4. I also get the error
Using Fiddler [1], I replaced jquery.min.js with the un-minified version from http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.1.js. This time, the error is on line 869, which appears to be the catch block in the deferred.resolveWith function inside jquery._Deferred.
Again using Fiddler, I replaced jquery.min.js with http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.2.js and got a new error:
I also tried this in the Android emulator with version 2.3.3 (because I can't find a way to emulate 2.3.4 in the emulator). I was not able to reproduce this issue in the emulator.

Uncaught illegal access
in the getLocalStorageItem() function. I think this indicates that the first error is with jQuery 1.5.1 and is fixed in 1.5.2, but then execution progresses to reveal a second error behind the first. I don't know much about HTML5 local storage, so I can't debug any further for now.value = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(item));
I also tried this in the Android emulator with version 2.3.3 (because I can't find a way to emulate 2.3.4 in the emulator). I was not able to reproduce this issue in the emulator.

Tested with lds.org/Tools on the Amazon Kindle Fire's 6.2 (Android based) 'Silk' Browser with Amazon’s EC2 cloud computing cluster
Calendar - works
Directory - works
Maps - works (make sure "Load images" is enabled)
speedtest.lds.org (only speed test worked becasue Java not Detected, and you must turn off "Accelerate page loading")
speedtest.net - (you must turn off "Accelerate page loading")

Calendar shows blue screen on Samsung Galaxy S2 Sprint
I am having the same issue using the Galaxy S2 from Sprint. Everything works fine except the calendar, it shows a blue screen.

I am also using the Galaxy S2 from Sprint (aka epic 4g touch). I got mine to work by downloading the opera browser!!. (Yes I got the discouraging navy blue blank screen also with the default browser that comes with the phone)
try it and see... it works!
i wish they'd come out with an android app for the calendar... but until they do we'll just have to pinch in and out w/the browser

Another option for calendar on Android devices
Since LDS Tools for Android does not yet support the calendar, the option that I am using and I have recommended to users of the app that ask about the calendar is to sync the lds.org calendar with a google calendar.
The calendar has the ability to sync with any google calendar so if you sync the calendar with the google calendar that is linked to the account you signed on your android device with, you can see the calendar in your device's calendar.
Note that it does have the limitation of not being able to differentiate the particular LDS calendar that the item belongs to (lds.org does it by color), and you are stuck seeing the calendars that you subscribed to when you synced with the google calendar. Despite those drawbacks, I can see the lds.org calendar for my ward and stake and it works pretty well for me.
