Use the calendar
Open a new populated event. 1. Create a new Event using an EventList object.
Event e = null;
EventList el = (EventList)PIM.getInstance().openPIMList(
PIM.EVENT_LIST, PIM.READ_WRITE );
e = el.createEvent();
2. Add information to the Event object.
e.addString( Event.SUMMARY, 0, "Go For A Walk" );
e.addString( Event.LOCATION, 0, "The Park" );
long start = System.currentTimeMillis() + 8640000;
e.addDate( Event.START, 0, start );
e.addDate( Event.END, 0, start + 72000000 );
3. Invoke Invoke.invokeApplication(APP_TYPE_CALENDAR, CalendarArguments)
using the
CalendarArguments object created using the ARG_NEW property and the Event.
Invoke.invokeApplication( Invoke.APP_TYPE_CALENDAR, new
CalendarArguments( CalendarArguments.ARG_NEW, e ) );
4. Use an instance of the EventList class to access the calendar.
5. Create one or more Event object to store information for specific appointments. For each event,
you can store data such as the summary, location, start and end times, and reminder notification.
