In my iOS app I want to create event in calendar and I've found code but the code directly creates an event instead of opening Add event screen. I want to allow user to set reminder through add event screen.
My Code is Below :
EKEventStore *es = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];
EKAuthorizationStatus authorizationStatus = [EKEventStore authorizationStatusForEntityType:EKEntityTypeEvent];
BOOL needsToRequestAccessToEventStore = (authorizationStatus == EKAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined);
if (needsToRequestAccessToEventStore) {
[es requestAccessToEntityType:EKEntityTypeEvent completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
if (granted) {
EKEvent *event = [EKEvent eventWithEventStore:es];
event.title = @"Event Title";
event.startDate = [NSDate date]; // today
event.endDate = [event.startDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60]; // Duration 1 hr
[event setCalendar:[es defaultCalendarForNewEvents]];
NSError *err = nil;
[es saveEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent commit:YES error:&err];
NSLog(@"Error : %@", err);
} else {
// Denied
}
}];
} else {
BOOL granted = (authorizationStatus == EKAuthorizationStatusAuthorized);
if (granted) {
EKEvent *event = [EKEvent eventWithEventStore:es];
event.title = @"Event Title";
event.startDate = [NSDate date]; // today
event.endDate = [[NSDate date] dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60]; // Duration 1 hr
[event setCalendar:[es defaultCalendarForNewEvents]];
NSError *err = nil;
[es saveEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent commit:YES error:&err];
NSLog(@"Error : %@", err);
} else {
// Denied
}
}
Based in the EKEventStore documentation, the method:
[es saveEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent commit:YES error:&err];is saving the event. Your code is working correctly and this code should not open the "Add event screen" as you are expecting.
