Hi,
Here, I'm going to share some lines of code by which you can add an event to native calendar of an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch. So, please prefer below code to make this functionality visible to your project.
========================================================================
Step 1: Import these framework into your project.
#import <EventKit/EventKit.h>
#import <EventKitUI/EventKitUI.h>
Step 2: Now add below code to your working viewcontroller class. But before doing this make sure that you declare some necessary variables.
-(IBAction)addEventToCalendar:(id)sender
{
if (!self.defaultCalendar)
{
self.eventStore = [[EKEventStore alloc]init];
self.defaultCalendar = [self.eventStore defaultCalendarForNewEvents];
}
// save to iphone calendar
if([self.eventStore respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAccessToEntityType:completion:)]) // >= iOS 6.0
{
// iOS 6 and later
// This line asks user's permission to access his calendar
[self.eventStore requestAccessToEntityType:EKEntityTypeEvent completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error)
{
if (granted) // user user is ok with it
{
[self openCalendarEditViewController];
}
}
else // if he does not allow
{
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(callAccessAlert) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];
return;
}
}];
}
else // < iOS 6.0
{
[self openCalendarEditViewController];
}
}
-(void)openCalendarEditViewController
{
NSString *address = @“”; // Address of place where the event will be hold
NSString *businessUrl = @“”; //Url which you want to add with calendar event
NSDate *startdate; //start date and time of event
NSDate *enddate = //end date and time of event
NSString *strNotes; //Add notes which you want to share in with Calendar event
EKEventEditViewController *addController = [[EKEventEditViewController alloc] init];
// set the addController's event store to the current event store.
EKEvent *event = [EKEvent eventWithEventStore:self.eventStore];
event.title = @“”;//title of an event should be unique to display appointments separately
event.notes = strNotes;
event.location = address;
event.URL = [NSURL URLWithString:businessUrl];
event.startDate = startdate;
event.endDate = enddate;//[startdate dateByAddingTimeInterval:duration];
NSDate *alarmDate = [startdate dateByAddingTimeInterval:-3600];
NSArray *arrAlarm = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[EKAlarm alarmWithAbsoluteDate:alarmDate]];
event.alarms= arrAlarm;
[event setCalendar:self.defaultCalendar];
addController.event = event;
addController.eventStore = self.eventStore;
addController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationPageSheet;
addController.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
addController.editViewDelegate = self;
addController.navigationBar.tintColor=[UIColor colorWithRed:0.976 green:0.612 blue:0.067 alpha:1];
// present EventsAddViewController as a modal view controller
[self presentModalViewController:addController animated:YES];
}
- (void)requestAccessToEntityType:(EKEntityType)entityType completion:(EKEventStoreRequestAccessCompletionHandler)completion
{
}
// Overriding EKEventEditViewDelegate method to update event store according to user actions.
- (void)eventEditViewController:(EKEventEditViewController *)controller
didCompleteWithAction:(EKEventEditViewAction)action {
NSError *error = nil;
EKEvent *thisEvent = controller.event;
switch (action) {
case EKEventEditViewActionCanceled:
// Edit action canceled, do nothing.
break;
case EKEventEditViewActionSaved:
// When user hit "Done" button, save the newly created event to the event store,
// and reload table view.
// If the new event is being added to the default calendar, then update its
// eventsList.
{
NSError *err = nil;
BOOL isSuceess=[controller.eventStore saveEvent:controller.event span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&error];
}
break;
case EKEventEditViewActionDeleted:
// When deleting an event, remove the event from the event store,
// and reload table view.
// If deleting an event from the currenly default calendar, then update its
// eventsList.
[controller.eventStore removeEvent:thisEvent span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&error];
break;
default:
break;
}
// Dismiss the modal view controller
[controller dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
// Set the calendar edited by EKEventEditViewController to our chosen calendar - the default calendar.
- (EKCalendar *)eventEditViewControllerDefaultCalendarForNewEvents:(EKEventEditViewController *)controller {
EKCalendar *calendarForEdit = self.defaultCalendar;
return calendarForEdit;
}
