save the recurrences in a database and fire on recurred date .

[Anonymous]

Hi ,

I am quite new to using the icalendar , I got to know how to add and
create a recurrence object ,like

                 event.setDateStart(df.parse("2015-02-16 13:00"));



                 event.setDuration(new

Duration.Builder().days(1).build()); //all-day event

                 Recurrence recur = new

Recurrence.Builder(Frequency.DAILY).build();

                 event.setRecurrenceRule(recur);





                 event.setDateEnd(df.parse("2013-07-15 11:00"));

                 ical.addEvent(event);

I need to know how do I save and retrieve the recurrence rule , in the
database .

Hi Jitesh,

Sorry, I cannot help you with database issues. However, I noticed something possibly wrong with the code sample you gave me.

It looks like you are trying to define an event that occurs daily. And you are defining the date that the recurrence ends by setting the event's date end property:

event.setDateEnd(df.parse("2013-07-15 11:00"));

Actually, you should set this on the recurrence property, like so

Recurrence recur = new Recurrence.Builder(Frequency.DAILY).until(df.parse("2013-07-15 11:00")).build();

And this date must come after the start date (it is 2 years behind)!
