Find iOS Calendars - iphone

Question

I have an app that creates a calendar event programmatically it is working and I just made it so it retrieves the users calendars and displays them in a picker but I have a memory leak. Can you see it becasue I tried releasing everything... In addition my main issue is how do I have it save to that calendar that the user selects, [event setCalendar:calendararray]; doesn't work. The calendararray is a EKCalendar *calendararray and I am setting the user selected calendar to it. Why does this not work???? How do I make it work...
calendar .m
#import "calendar.h"
#implementation calendar
#synthesize delegate;
// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
EKEventStore *eventStore = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];
/* These are the calendar types an iOS Device can have. Please note
that the "type" property of an object of type EKCalendar
is of type EKCalendarType. The values in the "CalendarTypes"
array reflect the exact same values in the EKCalendarType
enumeration, but as NSString values */
NSArray *calendarTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
#"Local",
#"CalDAV",
#"Exchange",
#"Subscription",
#"Birthday",
nil];
/* Go through the calendars one by one */
NSUInteger counter = 1;
for (EKCalendar *thisCalendar in eventStore.calendars){
/* The title of the calendar */
NSLog(#"Calendar %lu Title = %#",
(unsigned long)counter, thisCalendar.title);

Answer 1

EKEventStore has a calendars property which is an NSArray of EKCalendar instances. You can then get each EKCalendar's title and display all of them to the user so they can select the calendar they wish to add the new event to.

Answer 2

NSLog(#"Calendar %lu Title = %#", (unsigned long)counter, thisCalendar.title);
NSString *title = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Calendar %lu Title = %#", (unsigned long)counter, thisCalendar.title];
NSLog(title);

I'm not sure if all the code you posted is from the same version, but if you threw that together I'd see at least the following problem:
You say
[event setCalendar:calendararray];
doesn't work.
It seems calendararray ist set in eventview.m's calendararray: method.
This in turn is called from calendar.m's pickerView:didSelectRow:, where it takes the selected object from arrayColors.
In calendar.m's viewDidLoad method, arrayColors is initialised with the users's calendars' titles, not the calendars.
So you end up giving EKEvent's setCalendar: method an NSString instead of an EKCalendar.
Not knowing the rest of your program, as a fix I would try to keep the EKCalendar objects themselves in arrayColors.
So, in calendar.m try to change the
[arrayColors addObject:thisCalendar.title];
in viewDidLoad to
[arrayColors addObject:thisCalendar];
Then change pickerView:titleForRow: to
- (NSString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)thePickerView titleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component {
EKEvent *event = [arrayColors objectAtIndex:row]
return event.title;
}
FInally, in eventview.m change calendararray:
- (void) calendararray:(EKCalendar *)array{
NSLog(#"calendarNameTextFieldStringFromTable %#", array);
calendararray = array;
calendarLabel.text = array.title;
calendarLabel.textColor = [UIColor brownColor];
}

Try this way:
#import "EventTestViewController.h"
#import "EventKit/EventKit.h"
#implementation EventTestViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
EKEventStore *eventStore = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];
EKEvent *event = [EKEvent eventWithEventStore:eventStore];
event.title = #"EVENT TITLE";
event.startDate = [[NSDate alloc] init];
event.endDate = [[NSDate alloc] initWithTimeInterval:600 sinceDate:event.startDate];
[event setCalendar:[eventStore defaultCalendarForNewEvents]];
NSError *err;
[eventStore saveEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&err];
}

Ok i see what you want, heres my way:
EKEventStore *eventStore = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];
NSArray *calendarArray = [eventStore calendars]; //Here you get all the device calendars
EKEvent *event = [EKEvent eventWithEventStore:eventStore];
event.title = #"Event Title";
event.startDate = [[NSDate alloc] init]; event.endDate = [[NSDate alloc] initWithTimeInterval:816 sinceDate:event.startDate];
[event setCalendar:[calendarArray objectAtIndex:1]]; //here you set which calendar you want..
NSError *err;
[eventStore saveEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&err];
You can NSLog with a FOR loop iterating "index" using this code below, to know which one you want.
NSLog(#"Cal name> %#. Index of cal> %i", [[calendarArray objectAtIndex:index] title], index);
Hope this helps
