Question

How can I create a custom event on the native blackberry calendar which I can read, write and modify. I am able to add a custom menu field on the calendar but from there I want to add a custom event on the calendar with custom fields.

Answer 1

EventList eventList = (EventList) PIM.getInstance().openPIMList(PIM.EVENT_LIST, PIM.WRITE_ONLY);
_event = eventList.createEvent();
_event.addString(Event.SUMMARY, PIMItem.ATTR_NONE,"Event Name");
_event.addDate(Event.START, PIMItem.ATTR_NONE, "Event Date in long format");
RepeatRule rule = new RepeatRule();
rule.setInt(RepeatRule.FREQUENCY,RepeatRule.YEARLY);// There is many options in RepeatRule like Daily,Weakly,Monthly,Yearly, ect...
_event.setRepeat(rule);
_event.commit();
