From StackOverflow: Show multiple events at JTAppleCalendarView

[patchthecode]

I am implementing JTAppleCalendarView in Swift. How I can show multiple events in Calendar without interaction at Calendar View i.e. Multiple events should be shown on Calendar.

I am getting some date from server. All date should be show at Calendar as Event (ie. selected).

Just to be clear:

1. You have some dated from the server
2. You want these to be selected when you application runs?

Then you should do this:

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        .......
        .......
        calendarView.allowsMultipleSelection = true
        let datesFromServer = [d1, d2, d3]
        calendarView.selectDates(datesFromServer)
    }

This will select all your dates.

If this answer does not help you, can you respond and paste your viewDidLoad() code so i can take a look?

Hi @patchthecode
One question: how do i wait for the server response in order to paint events inside the cells before the calendar renders? Or how to manually call isAboutToDisplayCell with the new info? Kind of lost.
To be clear, i want to achieve something similar to this (cells can have info inside them, but is depending on a server response) -> #2 (comment)

Ok, I am just a little confused. Let me know which ones below are wrong.

1. If you do not want the calendar to render (or be visible on the screen) then don't put it on the screen? (if i understand it correctly)
2. If you have a calendar that loads in viewDidLoad it will be displayed on the screen. At this point if you already have your dates from the server (in array form), then just call calendarView.selectDates(datesFromServer). If at this point you do not have the dates from the server yet, then get the dates, and then call calendarView.selectDates(datesFromServer) in your completion handler.

If you need more clarification join me in chat here -> https://gitter.im/patchthecode/JTAppleCalendar because texting here can be maddeningly slow. I'll be available there in 2 and a half hours time (from posting this message)

It was not for selecting dates, it was for adding subviews to a cell. But i discover that if i call reloadData()the function isAboutToDisplayCell its called again and i can add all the new info.
But thanks anyway ;)

Ah. ok. i see now. Cool. man.
one thing, if you need to know all the functions you can use with this library, look at the UserInteractionFunctions.swift file.
It has ever function you're allowed to do.
cheers

Also, if this lib has helped you in anyway, please leave a start rating :)
