When I am using a calendar view, lets say the day view for example, when the user clicks on the plus button to add a new entry, how can I auto populate the date field with the day they viewing?
This seems fairly trivial but I can’t seem to figure it out.
Not possible. Calendar support is really kind of rudimentary. I suspect the original intention with calendar support was to make Google Calendar calendars simply viewable within apps, rather than as a full-featured calendaring system.
