The Ti.SQ view supports a majority of the standard [Ti.UI.View](http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.View) properties. The below listed properties are specific to the Ti.SQ calendar view.

• On Android this is a creation time only property. You will always be able to read this value, but on Android you can only set property this on creation.

var calendarView = square.createView({
  height:Ti.UI.FILL,
