Calendar Entry Creation - AND/OR - Alarms

I am looking to create calendar entries based on a date entered for an app I am building. Is there a way to do this in the Tiggzi app builder?

An acceptable alternative would be to be able to set an alarm for a date that would open a pop up even if the app is not open...if there is a way to do that instead it would be a good alternative.

An ideas?

You are starting with mobile web app (HTML, jQuery Mobile). PhoneGap is used for accessing native API. It doesn't look like calendar API is available right now, http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.7.0/ind...

So, is there a way to approach this in the second method? That being to set an alarm of some sort that doesn't use the calendar?

You could save the alarm into a cloud database such as StackMob or Parse and then show it in your app via push or when user refreshes. It's possible, but has to be developed.

@Max Katz: I am planning development of an app where I need to define a number of time slots per day. I am not a real programmer, and have been wondering how to do this. I was hoping on reusing the stock calendar app. I need to be able to see what week day it is today, tomorrow, and 7 to 14 days ahead in time. So I'm puzzled how to deal with this if no calendar function is available on the Appery platform. If using a cloud based solution, this would mean that the app needs constant internet connection, right?

Hi Harry,

Yes, cloud-based solution would require constant Internet access. As Max answered above, this can't be realized with current Appery implementations only cause we don't have such plug-in. You should try API Google Calendar or similar to develop your app.
