I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
An example of how to programmatically create an iCAL event in the default calendar, using Objective-C. The code checks if the event already exists, and sets the button state accordingly. Here is the code by @codeburger:
ReplyDelete-(void)initCalendar {
// An array of 1 dictionary object, containing START and END values.
NSMutableArray* pvDict = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:PV_URL ]];
// Check if the private view event already exists in the default calendar.
// Then set the calendar button state.
// Get a entry point to the Calendar database.
self.store = [[EKEventStore alloc ] init ];
// Get an array of all the calendars.
NSArray *calendars = store.calendars;
// Get the default calendar, set by the user in preferences.
EKCalendar *defaultCal = store.defaultCalendarForNewEvents;
// Find out if this calendar is modifiable.
BOOL isDefaultCalModifiable = defaultCal.allowsContentModifications ;
// Create an event in the default calendar.
self.event = [ EKEvent eventWithEventStore:store ];
self.event.title = CHELSEA_SPACE ;
self.event.location = CHELSEA_ADDRESS ;
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S"];
NSString *startString = [[ pvDict objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:@"starts" ];
NSDate *dateStart = [dateFormatter dateFromString:startString];
NSString *endString = [[ pvDict objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:@"ends" ];
NSDate *dateEnd = [dateFormatter dateFromString:endString];
self.event.startDate = dateStart;
self.event.endDate = dateEnd;
self.event.calendar = defaultCal ;
// Alternative code to add 2.5 hours to start time.
// [[NSDate alloc] initWithTimeInterval:9000 sinceDate:event.startDate];
// Search for events which match this date/time start and end.
// Compare the matched events by event TITLE.
NSPredicate *predicate = [store predicateForEventsWithStartDate:event.startDate
endDate:event.endDate calendars:calendars];
NSArray *matchingEvents = [store eventsMatchingPredicate:predicate];
self.calendarButton.enabled = NO;
if( ! isDefaultCalModifiable ) {
// The default calendar is not modifiable
return ;
}
if ( [ matchingEvents count ] > 0 ) {
// There are already event(s) which match this date/time start and end.
// Check if this event is the PV
EKEvent *anEvent;
int j;
for ( j=0; j < [ matchingEvents count]; j++) {
anEvent = [ matchingEvents objectAtIndex:j ] ;
if([ CHELSEA_SPACE isEqualToString: anEvent.title ]) {
// PV event already exists in calendar.
return;
}
}
[ anEvent release ];
}
self.calendarButton.enabled = YES;
[ pvDict release ];
}
-(void)addEventToCalendar:(id)sender {
NSError *error;
BOOL saved = [self.store saveEvent:self.event span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&error];
NSLog(@"Saved calendar event = %@\n", (saved ? @"YES" : @"NO"));
self.calendarButton.enabled = NO;
}
I've seen this question with no answer and felt like it should be edited giving full credit to @codeburger.
