B4A Library MultiDayCalendarView

This is a (partly) wrapper for this Github project. It is a "starter" for the request posted by @jahswani in the Business Forum

Posting the following:
1. B4A project demonstrating functionality added thus far
2. The Java Code - do with it / change it / amend it whichever way you like
3. B4A library files - copy them to your additional library folder
4. You will also need android-support-v4.jar to be in you additional library folder. You can download it from here https://www.dropbox.com/s/qmggn0wm5a6bqa9/android-support-v4.jar?dl=0

How to use:
1. See code in the attached project to add an Event via B4A code
2. Touch and empty cell - it will be highlighted in Yellow (see code to change the color). Then touch the same cell again. An Event will be added to the Calendar based on the B4A code:
B4X:
mdcv1.ClickEventName = "Morning Meeting"
mdcv1.ClickEventDetail = "All Operations Personnel"
mdcv1.ClickEventColor = Colors.DarkGray
3. Use your finger to scroll up/down (time) and left / right (days)
4. The following 3 events will be raised in the B4A project
B4X:
Sub mdcv1_event_selected(eventname As String, eventdetail As String)

    Log("B4A: calendar eventname = " & eventname)
    Log("B4A: calendar eventdetail = " & eventdetail)
    nativeMe.RunMethod("showToastMessage", Array(eventname & " : " & eventdetail))

End Sub

Sub mdcv1_calendar_scrolling(firstday As String)

    Log("B4A: first day = " & firstday)

End Sub


Sub mdcv1_event_added(eventstartdatetime As Long, clickeventname As String, clickeventdetail As String, clickeventcolor As Int)

    Log("B4A : eventstartdatetime = " & eventstartdatetime)
    Log("B4A : clickeventname = " & clickeventname)
    Log("B4A : clickeventdetail = " & clickeventdetail)
    Log("B4A : clickeventcolor = " & clickeventcolor)

End Sub

To change the appearance:
B4X:
mdcv1.DefaultEventSelectColor = Colors.Yellow
mdcv1.DayOfMonthTextSize = 40
mdcv1.DayOfWeekTextSize = 25
mdcv1.TimeTextSize = 18
mdcv1.EventTextSize = 20

When you touch a cell with an Event that has been set it will display a Toast Message with the name of the Calendar Event and the Detail of the Calendar Event.

The Toast Message is displayed by making use of inline Java code. Therefor you also need to enable the JavaObject (v2.05) library in the IDE.

I will help/assist where I can to amend/change/modify the lib - but I am mostly leaving it up to you to take it further.

Sample code:

B4X:
#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: MultiDayCalendarView
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: portrait
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

    Dim nativeMe As JavaObject

End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.

    Private mdcv1 As MultiDayCalendarView

End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Activity.LoadLayout("main")

    nativeMe.InitializeContext

    mdcv1.ClickEventName = "Morning Meeting"
    mdcv1.ClickEventDetail = "All Operations Personnel"
    mdcv1.ClickEventColor = Colors.DarkGray
    mdcv1.DefaultEventSelectColor = Colors.Yellow
    mdcv1.DayOfMonthTextSize = 40
    mdcv1.DayOfWeekTextSize = 25
    mdcv1.TimeTextSize = 18
    mdcv1.EventTextSize = 20  

End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

    Dim tim As Long = DateTime.TimeZoneOffset * 60 * 60 * 1000
'    tim = tim + DateTime.Now  - DateTime.GetMinute(DateTime.Now) * 60 * 1000 - DateTime.GetSecond(DateTime.Now) * 1000
'    tim = tim/1000

    DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyy/MM/dd"
    DateTime.TimeFormat = "HH:mm:ss"

    tim = tim + DateTime.DateTimeParse("2016/04/18", "18:00:00")                  'tim = in milliseconds
    tim = tim/1000                                                                'tim = converted to seconds
    mdcv1.addEvent(tim, "Supper with John", "The Butcher Boys", Colors.Blue)      'seconds need to be passed
    'mdcv1.removeEvent(tim)                                                       'this will remove the same event that we have just set in the line above

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Sub mdcv1_event_selected(eventname As String, eventdetail As String)

    Log("B4A: calendar eventname = " & eventname)
    Log("B4A: calendar eventdetail = " & eventdetail)
    nativeMe.RunMethod("showToastMessage", Array(eventname & " : " & eventdetail))

End Sub

Sub mdcv1_calendar_scrolling(firstday As String)

    Log("B4A: first day = " & firstday)

End Sub


Sub mdcv1_event_added(eventstartdatetime As Long, clickeventname As String, clickeventdetail As String, clickeventcolor As Int)

    Log("B4A : eventstartdatetime = " & eventstartdatetime)
    Log("B4A : clickeventname = " & clickeventname)
    Log("B4A : clickeventdetail = " & clickeventdetail)
    Log("B4A : clickeventcolor = " & clickeventcolor)

End Sub


#If Java

import android.widget.Toast;

    //this will display a Toast Message (Event Name and Event Detail) when a cell containing an Event is touched
    public void showToastMessage(String message) {
        Toast.makeText(BA.applicationContext, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

#End If

THE SAME YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED CELL TOUCED AGAIN. AN EVENT IS ADDED (MORNING MEETING)

CELL WITH AN EVENT TOUCHED - A TOAST MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED WITH THE EVENT NAME AND THE EVENT DETAIL (via inline Java Code)

In order to compile the Java code you need to add a libs folder on the same folder lever as the src folder. Then copy android-support-v4.jar into the libs folder to compile the Java code to a jar and xml
