Description

AGCalendar enables you to access the native calendar on your iPhone, iPad or iPod. EventKit and Core Data are both supported data sources. This enables you to switch between iCal and your custom calendar. Some more information below.

  • EventKit: All events including the events in your native calendar will be shown. Events added will also be added to your native iCal.
  • CoreData: Uses Core Data to store your calendar-events. Only events added by your application will be shown. Added events will not be added to iCal. This also allows you to add more details to your events.

To access this module from JavaScript, you would do the following:

Titanium.Calendar = Ti.Calendar = require("ag.calendar");
