And replade ID with keyword mentioned in list above.

Pretty nice huh ? πŸ™‚ 


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

  1. Thank you! Best overview of these keywords so far. Do you know how to change these pictures by using one’s own images?

  2. Thanks for this compilation!
    I would add:
    sleep
    walk dog (don’t know the ID, but it works on the calendar)
