Hi Irina,
Sorry for the late reply since I was not well in last couple of day. I was
able to set up ical4j and tested locally with all following mentioned
aspects with the API, relating to recurrence events.
i.e
- Created an event (VEvent) for a given day/for a given period of
time (Monday 1PM - 4PM)
- Added attendees to the event
- Added Recurrence Rule for the event in different combinations
(WEEKLY(specified days only with a starting day for the week), DAILY,HOURLY
along with a given interval/setUntil and etc)
- Created a ical4j Calendar and added the previously created VEvent.
- And tried calculating the recurrence set with a given period of
time with different combinations.
And those helped me to get familiar a bit with the ical4j API.
So in terms of this project, I am +1 for using RRule for implementing
recurrence events using ical4j. We can also use sequence of dates (RDATE)
for the same purpose. But I have not tried that yet. Please let me know if
there is any advantage you already know using RDATE over RRule for this
particular purpose. Seems RRule is much cleaner and made for this purpose.
