You can check all those images right now if you use this link :
https://ssl.gstatic.com/tmly/f8944938hffheth4ew890ht4i8/flairs/xxhdpi/img_ID.jpg
And replade ID with keyword mentioned in list above.
Pretty nice huh ? π
Edit 02/20: Based on presonal testing of random images ( IDs ), I’ve found out not all IDs in the list are working with testing URL. However, after real test in Google Calendar, I’ve seen it’s working. BTW: I’ve found also IDs, which are working in testing URL, but I can’t make them work in Google Calendar. I guess it could be because of location of the application .. Also added few more IDs based on your comments …
Karate brings up a nice gi picture!
Thank you! Best overview of these keywords so far. Do you know how to change these pictures by using oneβs own images?
I would like to know myself, but sadly I don’t know it ( yet )
Also, these are in the system.
– Fencing
– Archery
– Taekwondo
Thanks for info. Based on your comment I’ve updated the post …
Try “Auto Repair”
Thanks Hevayet for your comment. Tested and it works. Added to the list π
Football is another keyword
Thanks for this compilation!
I would add:
sleep
walk dog (don’t know the ID, but it works on the calendar)
Date night
