Android Calendar Plugin for PhoneGap

This plugin is tested on Gingerbread (Samsung Galaxy S2) and Jellybean. Since there is no official Calendar API before Ice Cream Sandwich, your mileage may vary for older Androids.

Adding the Plugin to your project

Either:

  1. Copy calendar.js to your project's www folder and include a reference to it in your html files.
  2. Create src/com/twist/android/plugins/calendar in your project and move the java files into it.

Or use pluginstall: https://github.com/alunny/pluginstall

JavaScript API

This plugin attempts to confirm to the W3C Calendar API (http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/calendar/). Currently only findEvents is implemented.

Get the plugin object with cordova.require('cordova/plugin/calendar').

findEvents

findEvents(successCb, errorCb, filter)

Find calendar events from active calendars.

var later = new Date();
later.setDate(later.getDate() + 3); // 3 days from now
  
cordova.require('cordova/plugin/calendar').findEvents(function(events) {
  // Do something with returned events array.
}, function() {
  // There's an error for some reason.
}, {
  'startAfter': new Date().getTime(),
  'startBefore': later.getTime()
});
