Export a calendar entry
- Import the required classes and interfaces.
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import javax.microedition.pim.Event;
import javax.microedition.pim.EventList;
import javax.microedition.pim.PIM;
- Invoke PIM.supportedSerialFormats() specifying the list type (PIM.EVENT_LIST), to retrieve a string array of supported serial formats.
String[] dataFormats = PIM.supportedSerialFormats(PIM.EVENT_LIST);
- Use an output stream writer to export calendar entries from the BlackBerry® device to a supported serial format, such as iCal.
- Invoke toSerialFormat()
to write an item in serial format. The enc parameter specifies the character encoding to use when writing to the output stream. Supported character encodings include “UTF8,” “ISO-8859-1,” and “UTF-16BE”. This parameter cannot be null.
EventList eventList =
(EventList)PIM.getInstance().openPIMList( PIM.EVENT_LIST, PIM.READ_ONLY );
ByteArrayOutputStream bytestream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Enumeration e = eventList.items();
while (e.hasMoreElements())
{
Event event = (Event)e.nextElement();
PIM.getInstance().toSerialFormat(event, bytestream, "UTF8", dataFormats[0]);
}
