API How to use the filter?

[mkl23]

// Import Platform Service Interface
import com.nokia.lib.Service;
// Heading of the application
heading_txt.text = "List Calendar entries";

// Create a new Service object which has Calendar data
var calender = new Service("Service.Calendar", "IDataSource");

// Define input parameters
var inParams = {Type:"CalendarEntry"};

// Define result value
var outParams = calender.GetList(inParams);
if (outParams.ErrorCode == 0) {
     var outList = outParams.ReturnValue;
     var outputEntry = null;
     // Go through all calendar events and print them to the textbox on the
      // scene
   do {
        outputEntry = outList.next();
        if (null != outputEntry) {
           var id = outputEntry.id;
           text_txt.text += "-"+id+"r";
        } else {
           break;
        }
     } while (true);
} else {
      var errorId = outParams.ErrorCode;
     text_txt.text += "Error: "+errorId;
}

That´s the original code which searches for the calendar entries but if i got to much entries the swf crashes... so i like to know how can i add the variables startRange and endRange in the input?

var inParams = {Type:"CalendarEntry"};

Hi mkl23,

I am unable to find any such filter in Calendar Service API in flash lite library which means that this feature is not implemented on Platform services side which limits the number of entries returned by Calendar GetList API. So, either live up with limitations or design ur own local server for extending flash lite in Symbian C++ or write a plugin for API Bridge in Symbian C++ .

Best Regards,

Thats true.... I even tried with the Contacts API and it always crashed on Nokia 5800 device. There is not a single time when it showed me the results. Has any-one else successful in getting the contact details using API?

Hi!

I used it in the following way ...

		var startRange : Date = new Date();
		var endRange : Date = new Date();

		....

		var calender = new Service("Service.Calendar", "IDataSource");
		var filter = {StartRange:startRange, EndRange:endRange};
		var inParams = {Type:"CalendarEntry", Filter:filter};
		var outParams = calender.GetList(inParams);
		var outList = outParams.ReturnValue;
		var outputEntry = null;
		if (outList != null) {
			do {
			    outputEntry = outList.next();
			    if (null != outputEntry) {
                                ....
                            } else {
			        break;
			    }
			} while (true);
                } else {
                        ....
		}
