Hello,
I have successfully been able to create a CalendarEvent in the CalendarService, however I am struggling with setting a finite Recurrence with weekly frequency to the event.
From documentation: "A finite recurrence has an end date or a number of occurrences."
I've tried both of the following, where both respond with recurrence.isValid() = true, and the CalendarService's createEvent method returns a success result. Yet on the simulator, I run into issues with both cases
i) Finite # of occurences
In this example, I attempt to set the number of occurences to 9, however when the CalendarEvent is created in the service, I do not see all 9 occurences within the native calendar application

Code:
CalendarEvent event;
...
Recurrence weeklyRec;
weeklyRec.setFrequency(Frequency::Weekly);
weeklyRec.setNumberOfOccurrences(9);
weeklyRec.setDayInWeek(DayOfWeek::Monday | DayOfWeek::Wednesday | DayOfWeek::Friday);
if (event.isValid()) {
event.setRecurrence(weeklyRec);
}
bb::pim::calendar::Result::Type result = m_calendarService->createEvent(event);ii) Set Until Date
In this example, I use setUntil to set the until date to a month afterwards. While the recurrence is valid and the event gets successfully added, the next time I open the month view in the native calendar app, it loads forever and never displays the new recurring calendar event.

Code:
CalendarEvent event;
...
Recurrence weeklyRec;
weeklyRec.setFrequency(Frequency::Weekly);
weeklyRec.setUntil(QDateTime::currentDateTime().addMonths(1));
weeklyRec.setDayInWeek(DayOfWeek::Monday | DayOfWeek::Wednesday | DayOfWeek::Friday);
if (event.isValid()) {
event.setRecurrence(weeklyRec);
}
bb::pim::calendar::Result::Type result = m_calendarService->createEvent(event);
There has been a similar question here (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Cascades-Development/How-to-create-Calendar-Recurrence/m-p/21... though it has not received a response yet.
Please, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
