Changing the color of selected dates in android's CalendarView widget

Question

How do i change the color of the selected day in the CalendarView widget provided by android. I don't seem to find any way in the documentation.

I can change the VerticalBars using setSelectedDateVerticalBar attribute but I want to set a background color like the one shown in this pic.

I want to set the color and appearance like the one on the left but all I can get is the one on the right. Is the CalendarView library so poorly built?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

There is no way to do what you are trying to achieve currently. The Calendar View is very limited in its functionality.
