I want to develop one demo app which will create events using my Application, store it using Google Calendar API and then fetch all the data and gives reminder. I have referred this link to fetch data and for setup, but I am not getting how to create events. Can anyone guide me how can I do this? I searched a lot for creating events using iOS, but I don't get anything useful for Google Calendar API, I found all the stuff using EventKit framework.
Please help me. Thank You.
I've found a tutorial: "iOS SDK: Working with Google Calendars", in this tutorial they provide insights on downloading the calendars, and creating a new event with a description and a date/time.
Regarding our app structure, the basic view is going to be a table view that will contain three sections for setting the following data:
- An event description
- An event date/time
- A target calendar
A code example for adding event(Objective C):
// Create the URL string of API needed to quick-add the event into the Google calendar.
// Note that we specify the id of the selected calendar.
NSString *apiURLString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/%@/events/quickAdd",
[_dictCurrentCalendar objectForKey:@"id"]];
// Build the event text string, composed by the event description and the date (and time) that should happen.
// Break the selected date into its components.
NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
dateComponents = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSDayCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSYearCalendarUnit|NSHourCalendarUnit|NSMinuteCalendarUnit
fromDate:_dtEvent];
if (_isFullDayEvent) {
// If a full-day event was selected (meaning without specific time), then add at the end of the string just the date.
_strEventTextToPost = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %d/%d/%d", _strEvent, [dateComponents month], [dateComponents day], [dateComponents year]];
}
else{
// Otherwise, append both the date and the time that the event should happen.
_strEventTextToPost = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %d/%d/%d at %d.%d", _strEvent, [dateComponents month], [dateComponents day], [dateComponents year], [dateComponents hour], [dateComponents minute]];
}
// Show the activity indicator view.
[self showOrHideActivityIndicatorView];
// Call the API and post the event on the selected Google calendar.
// Visit https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v3/reference/events/quickAdd for more information about the quick-add event API call.
[_googleOAuth callAPI:apiURLString
withHttpMethod:httpMethod_POST
postParameterNames:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"calendarId", @"text", nil]
postParameterValues:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:[_dictCurrentCalendar objectForKey:@"id"], _strEventTextToPost, nil]];
I think you can implement this from what you have started in the iOS Quickstart Google.
I hope this helps. Goodluck :)
first you have to create a public API and get is key. and set its url using the following code
let url = NSURL(string: "https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/email.gmail.com/events?maxResults=15&key=APIKey-here")
It works for you
