Description

Hallo I'm trying to integrate the Android Calendar on ICS using SDK 2.X (I'm using the latest 2.1.3GA) with the example (Copied from the doc) code below:

var CALENDAR_TO_USE = 3;
var calendar = Ti.Android.Calendar.getCalendarById(CALENDAR_TO_USE);
 
// Create the event
var eventBegins = new Date(2010, 11, 26, 12, 0, 0);
var eventEnds = new Date(2010, 11, 26, 14, 0, 0);
var details = {
    title: 'Do some stuff',
    description: "I'm going to do some stuff at this time.",
    begin: eventBegins,
    end: eventEnds
};
 
var event = calendar.createEvent(details);
 
// Now add a reminder via e-mail for 10 minutes before the event.
var reminderDetails = {
    minutes: 10,
    method: Ti.Android.Calendar.METHOD_EMAIL
};
event.createReminder(reminderDetails);

An error is found "Event values must include an eventTimezone".

Hi, Sorry for the delay on this one. Have you gotten it to work since? If not, please provide some code that can be copied and pasted into app.js and run. No missing variables, etc.. thanks.

What kind of info do you need? I'm trying to add an event to an Android Calendar using your provided doc. In Titanium Modible SDK 1.X and device Android 2.X all works right but since Ti Mobile SDK 2.x and Android 3.X or 4.X no event is listed in Calendar.

We need "some code that can be copied and pasted into an app.js and run".

I've copied and pasted the same snip used by Titanium Mobile Doc. Using this code you should run an app and verify the problem.

I've spend 2 hours to make a WA for this BUG because was blocking for my App. I've insert into EventProxy.java under the method createEvent this simple 3 lines after all eventValues' properties assignment:

   public static EventProxy createEvent(CalendarProxy calendar, KrollDict data) {
      ContentResolver contentResolver = TiApplication.getInstance().getContentResolver();
      
      ...
   
      // Post ICS fix by Gabriele Ravanelli (gabriele.ravanelli@gmail.com)
      if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11){
         // Specify your personal time zone
         eventValues.put("eventTimezone", "Europe/Rome");
      }
   
      Uri eventUri = contentResolver.insert(Uri.parse(CalendarProxy.getBaseCalendarUri()+"/events"), eventValues);
   
      ...
   
      return event;
   }
