How can I check if I have an event today ?

[Anonymous]

Hello

I am learning biweekly recently, will use it in my application.
It has spent my some time to find a solution about getting events by a specific date(or time). for example:

I define a calendar with recurrenced event below, how can I check if I have this event tomorrow or not by programming ?

 ICalendar iCalendar = new ICalendar();
 VEvent vEvent = new VEvent();
 vEvent.setDateStart(new Date());
 Recurrence recurrence = new   Recurrence.Builder(Recurrence.Frequency.DAILY).interval(1).byHour(3).byMinute(0).bySecond(0).build();
vEvent.setRecurrenceRule(recurrence);
iCalendar.addEvent(vEvent);

Thank you very much!

Hi Bruce,

You can use the RecurrenceRule.getDateIterator() method to get all of the dates in a recurrence rule.

:::java
ICalendar ical = ...
VEvent event = ical.getEvents().get(0);
Date start = event.getDateStart().getValue();
RecurrenceRule rrule = event.getRecurrenceRule();
Iterator<Date> it = rrule.getDateIterator(start);
while (it.hasNext()){
  Date date = it.next();
  ...
}
