Unable to get calendar extension to run off a View

[aaharoni]

Hi, I've added the calendar ANE into a simple application with 1 view and tried to get it running on my Galaxy Note 3. Basically I took your sample app that seems to work as is and added it to a view based app. But when I click on the "request access" button (see below) the whole thing just freezes. Does the ANE not work in View based apps?

I am running android v4.4.2 here is the view: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="Calendar View">

Hi, There's no reason it shouldn't work in a Flex application.

Can you post the device logs when you experience the freeze?

adb logcat

Also have you correctly added the activity to your manifest additions?

<android>
    <manifestAdditions><![CDATA[
        <manifest android:installLocation="auto">
            <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
            <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALENDAR"/>
            <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR"/>
            <application>
                <activity android:name="com.distriqt.extension.calendar.activities.CalendarAddEventWithUIActivity" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"></activity>
            </application>
        </manifest>
    ]]></manifestAdditions>

Hi,

Did you get a chance to look into this? Can you send me a sample view based app that contains a working version of the extension. I need to know if this works or not.

Thanks,

Avinoam.

See questions above?

Unfortunately no. The device is not connected to the computer so I can't debug it on the device. But if you can send me a simple view based project that runs on your phone then that would help a lot. Thanks.

Hello Michael,

Everything is fine now. It works. Can't really say what was the problem. I started a new project and it just workd. So thanks :-)

3 more questions:

1. When I create a new event with UI, Android displays a list of calendars that I can select from. However - unlike in other applications where I have an option to use the selected application once or always, here I have to select one every time. Can this be solved?
2. What do I need to do in order to just bring up the calendar in the default calendar view and not in creating a new event?
3. How can I detect that the calendar has been closed and my application regains focus?

Thanks,

Avi
