How do I create an alarm event?

Hi
Can anyone please tell me how to set a calendar event? I want to take a date field from a database, output to a label (have got this far myself), then set a calendar event for that date/time (this is the bit I can't do).

If I cannot pass a variable to the calendar can I simply call the calendar for manual input, or can I call the alarm?

thanks for your help!

Do you want to set a date alarm to your device calendar?

Hi Max

Thank you so much for replying.

I will present the user with a date onscreen, and associated text. The user can then click a button to open the default calendar application for that phone, opening an edit event preset to the date that was onscreen, and prefilled with the text as description. The user then uses the calendar's own application buttons, eg save/edit to continue.

My phone, for example, is linked to google calendar - I would expect that google calendar would open, with the edit screen open for the relevant date, and text prefilled as the description of that event. I would then click save on google calendar.

If creating prefilled calendar events is not possible, is it possible to simply call the default alarm application on that phone or the default calendar application on that phone, and let the user create the event and text themselves?

I hope this makes sense?
thanks, Tara

how do we include this plugin in our appery app? I can't see any way to include the java files and register the plugin?

You would need to export app source to Eclipse/xCode and add plugin manually. We'll add an option to make it possible add plugins inside Appery.io.

I'm trying to do this exact function myself. Is this now possible in Appery? Can you point me towards a plugin to do this?
