Basic Usage

To use a calendar component in your application:

  1. Add a calendar with the elm_calendar_add() function.

  2. Select the month to display with the elm_calendar_selected_time_set() function:

    Evas_Object *calendar;
    Evas_Object *parent;
    time_t the_time;
    
    /* Set the current time to display the current month */
    time(&the_time); /* Get the current time */
    calendar = elm_calendar_add(parent);
    elm_calendar_selected_time_set(calendar, gmtime(&the_time));
    
  3. Configure the month view:

    • Change the first day of the week (by default, Sunday).

      To change the first weekday to Monday:

      elm_calendar_first_day_of_week_set(calendar, ELM_DAY_MONDAY);
      
    • Modify the names of the weekdays using the elm_calendar_weekdays_names_set() function:

      const char *weekname[7] = {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G"};
      elm_calendar_weekdays_names_set(calendar, &weekname);
      
    • Mark holidays with the elm_calendar_mark_add() function.

      The following example shows how to mark a Sunday as holiday:

      struct tm *sunday = gmtime(&the_time);
      sunday->tm_mday -= sunday->tm_wday;
      sunday->tm_wday = 0;
      
      elm_calendar_mark_add(calendar, "holiday", sunday, ELM_CALENDAR_WEEKLY);
      
  4. Register the callback functions.

    The following example shows how to define and register a callback for the changed signal:

    evas_object_smart_callback_add(calendar, "changed", changed_cb, data);
    
    void
    changed_cb(void *data, Evas_Object *obj, void *event_info)
    {
        dlog_print(DLOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, "Calendar is changed. \n");
    }
