Calendar Control in iOS

Question

I am looking to have a calendar control in one of the view controllers in my app. I have looked around and found Kal and Tapku as the popular ones. I was able to integrate Kal into my project, but it doesn't seem to be doing what I want to.

What I am looking for is - 1. The font color, cell color, font bold/italics etc. should be customizable through the API. 2. I should be able to segue to another view controller from any cell (i.e. date) 3. I should be able to display some more controls on the screen.. such as a few labels, etc.

Is it possible to get any such pre-existing 3rd party calendar control which I can customize to suit my needs? Or would I need to create my own calendar control?

Answer 1

Look at my opensource calendar component: https://github.com/k06a/ABCalendarPicker

Answer 2

My open source calendar should be able to do all those

https://github.com/nopshusang/SACalendar

Although not thorough the API, you can customize the fonts and every other UI by editing the constants in SACalendarConstants.h

You can segue to another view by implementing a delegate function

-(void) SACalendar:(SACalendar*)calendar didSelectDate:(int)day month:(int)month year:(int)year

This will get called every time the cell is clicked. You can then launch a segue from there.

Have you taken a look at the control offered by Rescoe? It isn't free, and I haven't evaluated it personally but in my experience with their stuff on other platforms (i.e. Windows Mobile), they are quite robust.

Edit: the control requires Mono touch, which may not be what you're looking for...

Answer 4

In case of Kal you will have to make changes in the KalTileView.m, its where you can set the background images and font colors (within the drawRect method).

hope this helps.
