Calendar (New in SP06)

This plugin enables the ability to find, create and delete calendar entries in the Android or iOS calendar.  It uses the open source Calendar plugin.

For additional details on the Kapsel Calendar plugin see the JavaScript file in a project that includes this plugin at

project_name\plugins\com.sap.mp.cordova.plugins.calendar\www\calendar.js

or the JS Documentation at Kapsel Calendar API Reference.

The following steps will demonstrate an example of using this plugin.

• Create the project.

  cordova -d create C:\Kapsel_Projects\CalendarDemo com.mycompany.calendar CalendarDemo "{\"plugin_search_path\":\"C:/SAP/MobileSDK3/KapselSDK/plugins/\"}"
  cd C:\Kapsel_Projects\CalendarDemo
  cordova -d platform add android
  
  cordova -d create ~/Documents/Kapsel_Projects/CalendarDemo com.mycompany.calendar CalendarDemo "{\"plugin_search_path\":\"/Users/i826567/SAP/MobileSDK3/KapselSDK/plugins/\"}"
  cd ~/Documents/Kapsel_Projects/CalendarDemo
  cordova -d platform add ios

• Add the device plugin and the Kapsel or open source calendar plugin.

  cordova -d plugin add org.apache.cordova.device
  cordova -d plugin add nl.x-services.plugins.calendar 
  or 
  cordova -d plugin add https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/Calendar-PhoneGap-Plugin

• Replace www\index.html with the contents of index.html.
  
  
• Copy the files to the platform directory by running

  cordova -d prepare

• Use the Android IDE or Xcode to deploy and run the project.
  
  Press the Create Event button, then the Find Event button.  Open the device calendar.
  
  
  
  Note the Create Recurring, Open Calendar and List Calendar buttons only work with the open source version of the Calendar plugin.
  The open source Calendar plugin also contains additional methods that are platform specific.  For example the Android version contains a method calendar.createEventInteractively that when called creates an entry and then displays it in the calendar and the iOS version has methods named calendar.createCalendar and calendar.createEventInNamedCalendar.
