IphoneCalendar Into App

[madocspace]

Hello everyone,

I am a beginner with all this app development business. After looking around, reading, and watching tutorials, it appears that LiveCode would give me the chance in the short time to develop something to start of. I am through Lesson 3 in the Getting Started section, I should be over the rest in the next couple of weeks.

I have an App already draw out, on paper, and the purpose of it is to create a database of daily task, and then resume the tasks in monthly, quarters and yearly (the logic is already written in VB, don´t get mad at me, I use it at work a lot so I am familiar with it).

My first task is to create a HomeScreen as in below:

and I would like to use the inbuilt iphone (android, windows/mobile) calendar, could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Hi madocspace,

please check the "iOS/Android Release Notes" -> Menu: Help (in Livecode), to see what is currently supported or what not.
I am afraid the "native" calendars are not (yet) supported.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

And welcome to the forum!


Best

Klaus

Thanks Klaus,

So I guess that the only option that I have at the moment is to Create a new Event and use iphonePickDate, is that correct? If so, would I be able to create a Calendar Structure as:

(CalendarGroup) DaysLogger

• DayType1
  DayType2
  DayType3

So it can get displayed in ICal, for instance.

I think I have already answer that question myself, it appears that the only way to create new calendars in in ICal, correct me if i am wrong.

Also if I generate:

• Create New Entry
  Edit Entry

Would I be able to access the date from the Native calendar or would I need to use again iphonePickDate?

Thanks

Searching around I found this

tinyfool(dot)blogspot(dot)com/2010/01/tutorialhow-to-use-iphone-calendar.html

would I be able to implement it directly in LiveCode

Hi Madospace,

I think it is possible to create an external that does what you want. You might be able to use parts of the code you linked to. Just try it.

Kind regards,

Mark
