Hello everybody!

I'm trying to create a calendar event using the system Calendar composer via Invocation Framework. The problem is that Calendar composer dialog ignores the startTime parameter. Here is the code:

bb::system::InvokeRequest cardRequest;
QVariantMap requestData;

requestData["startTime"] = dateTimePicker_->value().toString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");

cardRequest.setTarget("sys.pim.calendar.viewer.eventcreate");
cardRequest.setAction("bb.action.CREATE");
cardRequest.setMimeType("text/calendar");

bool ok = true;
QByteArray encodedRequestData = bb::PpsObject::encode(requestData, &ok);
if (!ok)
{
	Q_ASSERT(false);
	return;
}

bb::system::InvokeTargetReply *reply = invokeManager_->invoke(cardRequest);
QObject::connect(reply, SIGNAL(finished()),
		 this, SLOT(invokeCalendar_finished()));

I've tried to use both "startTime" and "start", neither works. 

Any help is very appreciated!

Hitting this too. Any ideas?

this might be too obvious, but you are never setting the encodedRequestData variable to the data parameter of the invokerequest

Well, my code does

    map.insert("subject", title);
    map.insert("startTime", start.toString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"));
    map.insert("duration", duration);

    request.setMimeType("text/calendar");
    request.setAction("bb.action.CREATE");
    request.setTarget("sys.pim.calendar.viewer.eventcreate");
    QByteArray requestData = bb::PpsObject::encode(map, &ok);
    if (!ok) {
    	qDebug("EventPPSEncode failed?");
    }

    request.setData(requestData);
    bb::system::InvokeTargetReply *reply = m_invokeManager.invoke(request);

The subject comes trough fine, but not the datetime or duration.

    cardRequest.setData(encodedRequestData);

 is present in my code, it seems like I've somehow erased this line from post. I'll edit the initial post so that it doesn't confuse anybody.

EDIT: Unfortunately I can't edit my original post.

From the documentation, it expects startTime to be passed a QDateTime into the qvariantmap, maybe give that a try?

[tonygluk]

I thought that it expects a QDateTime too. In fact, documentation tells us to convert QDateTime to QString. Actually I've already encountered an encoding error using QDateTime.

[kylefowler]

Just doing QDateTime.toString() with no args just worked for me.

Have any idea what unit the duration is supposed to be in? It says int but doesnt say whether thats in seconds/minutes/hours/milliseconds

[tonygluk]

Thanks kylefowler! I'll try and then tell you whether this works.

[oniongarlic]

This worked for me too. Thanks for the hint.
