Java Development

Hi,

   I'm new to BB development and would like to know how to add an Alarm Event to Calendar (in the same way you do it via Calendar Menu -> New Alarm). I've been searching across the forum with no luck and also playing around with the Event and BlackBerryEvent classes and all I can do is create a "normal" Event.

   I also tried to get all the events from the calendar and I can't get the Alarms, only the Appointments, as if the Alarms were not calendar events, using this code:

try {

  EventList eventList = (EventList)PIM.getInstance().openPIMList(PIM.EVENT_LIST, PIM.READ_ONLY);

  Enumeration events = eventList.items();

  while (events.hasMoreElements()) {

    Event event = (Event)events.nextElement();

    Dialog.alert(event.toString());
  }

} catch (PIMException e) {

  Dialog.alert(e.getMessage());
}

   Is there any way to add a Alarm entries to the calendar?

Thank you in advanced,

Jairsinho.

Hi,

I've been searching about this, and since haven't found even a clue, I think it's seems to be some kind of exclusive feature of the OS that is not included in the API. Can someone confirm this?

Thank you,

So i think the Alarm is an app generated by rim, but there should be an interface from caledar and this app...

Any hint?
