Constructor Detail

ICalendar

public ICalendar()

Creates a new iCalendar object.

The following properties are auto-generated on object creation. These properties must be present in order for the iCalendar object to be valid:

• Version - Set to the default iCalendar version ("2.0").
• ProductId - Set to a value that represents this library.

Method Detail

getVersion

public Version getVersion()

Gets the min/max versions a consumer must support in order to successfully parse the iCalendar object. All ICalendar objects are initialized with a version of "2.0" (the default version). It is a required property.

Returns:

the version

See Also:

RFC 5545 p.79-80

setVersion

public void setVersion(Version version)

Sets the min/max versions a consumer must support in order to successfully parse the iCalendar object. All ICalendar objects are initialized with a version of "2.0" (the default version). It is a required property.

Parameters:

version - the version

See Also:

RFC 5545 p.79-80

getProductId

public ProductId getProductId()

Gets the name of the application that created the iCalendar object. All ICalendar objects are initialized with a product ID representing this library. It is a required property.

Returns:

the property instance or null if not set

See Also:

RFC 5545 p.78-9

setProductId

public void setProductId(ProductId prodId)

Sets the name of the application that created the iCalendar object. All ICalendar objects are initialized with a product ID representing this library. It is a required property.

Parameters:

prodId - the property instance or null to remove

See Also:

RFC 5545 p.78-9

setProductId

public ProductId setProductId(String prodId)

Sets the application that created the iCalendar object. All ICalendar objects are initialized with a product ID representing this library.

Parameters:

prodId - a unique string representing the application (e.g. "-//Company//Application//EN") or null to remove

Returns:

the property that was created

See Also:

RFC 5545 p.78-9

getCalendarScale

public CalendarScale getCalendarScale()

Gets the calendar system that this iCalendar object uses. If none is specified, then the calendar is assumed to be in Gregorian format.

Returns:

the calendar system or null if not set

See Also:

RFC 5545 p.76-7

setCalendarScale

public void setCalendarScale(CalendarScale calendarScale)

Sets the calendar system that this iCalendar object uses. If none is specified, then the calendar is assumed to be in Gregorian format.

Parameters:

calendarScale - the calendar system or null to remove

See Also:

RFC 5545 p.76-7

getMethod

public Method getMethod()

Gets the value of the Content-Type "method" parameter if the iCalendar object is defined as a MIME message entity.

Returns:

the property or null if not set

See Also:

RFC 5545 p.77-8

setMethod

public void setMethod(Method method)

Sets the value of the Content-Type "method" parameter if the iCalendar object is defined as a MIME message entity.

Parameters:

method - the property or null to remove

See Also:

RFC 5545 p.77-8

getEvents

public List<VEvent> getEvents()

Gets the events.

Returns:

the events

addEvent

public void addEvent(VEvent event)

Adds an event.

Parameters:

event - the event

getTodos

public List<VTodo> getTodos()

Gets the to-dos.

Returns:

the to-dos

addVTodo

public void addVTodo(VTodo todo)

Adds a to-do.

Parameters:

todo - the to-do

getJournals

public List<VJournal> getJournals()

Gets the journal entries.

Returns:

the journal entries

addJournal

public void addJournal(VJournal journal)

Adds a journal entry.

Parameters:

journal - the journal entry

getFreeBusies

public List<VFreeBusy> getFreeBusies()

Gets the free/busy entries.

Returns:

the free/busy entries

addFreeBusy

Adds a free/busy entry.

Parameters:

freeBusy - the free/busy entry

getTimezones

public List<VTimezone> getTimezones()

Gets the timezones.

Returns:

the timezones

addTimezone

public void addTimezone(VTimezone timezone)

Adds a timezone.

Parameters:

timezone - the timezone

validate

public List<String> validate()

Checks this iCalendar object for data consistency problems or deviations from the spec. These problems will not prevent the iCalendar object from being written to a data stream, but may prevent it from being parsed correctly by the consuming application. These problems can largely be avoided by reading the Javadocs of the component and property classes, or by being familiar with the iCalendar standard.

Returns:

a list of warnings or an empty list if no problems were found

validate

protected void validate(List<ICalComponent> components,
                        List<String> warnings)

Description copied from class: ICalComponent

Checks the component for data consistency problems or deviations from the spec. Meant to be overridden by child classes.

Overrides:

validate in class ICalComponent

Parameters:

components - the hierarchy of components that the component belongs to

warnings - the list to add the warnings to
