You can use any HTML/JavaScript to show/load the events. You can also invoke REST API to load the events from a cloud service. Check out this getting started guide: http://docs.appery.io/getting-started/

i want to load events to calendar

I too would like to use calendar functionality in an app. Ideally, I would like to store an array of dates and messages and when a given date arrives, the associated message pops-up. Push notifications would seem logical, but I don't know how to set up push-notifications for a set of given dates.

If I store the dates and messages in the Appery cloud database I could then use a REST service to retrieve the message, but how could I invoke the REST service when the app isn't running (so the user can get the message alert.)?

This is for a native app and not a mobile web app (the user shouldn't have to connect to the internet each day to see if there's a message that day and get the alert if there is a message for that day.) After the initial load of the database data to the phone, this should all happen when a use is not connected to the internet.

Hi Gail,

You can use local database: http://docs.appery.io/tutorials/build...
Push notifications need Internet connection - it's how they work.

And using the local database method the alert will pop up even when the app isn't running?

There are apps that send alerts to my iphone even after I have closed the app. For example, the Google Calendar and TVGuide apps do that.
