Generate Recurrence Properties from RecurrenceRule

[Bernard]

Hey,

I was wondering if in Forms it is possible to parse a recurrenceRule string to generate a recurrence properties object? 

Something like:

RecurrenceProperties recurrenceProperties = ScheduleHelper.RRuleParser("FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTHDAY=16;BYMONTH=6;INTERVAL=1;COUNT=10", DateTime.Now);

Kind regards,

Bernard

Hi Bernard, 

 

We have checked with your query. Currently, SfSchedule doesn’t support to parse a recurrenceRule string to generate a recurrence properties object in Xamarin Forms. We have considered to provide support for this and logged feature request for the same. We will implement and include this feature in our upcoming volume 2 SP2 release which is expected to be available by end of month June 2018. We appreciate your patience until then.

Thanks!

In the mean time, for anyone looking for an immediate solution, please find a Xamarin.Forms Native Rule<=>Properties converter @  https://github.com/bbl-Laobu/SFScheduleHelper

Lots of unit tests implemented on different properties so you can extend and test your own specific rules and see if they parse.

Any problems, let me know.

Hi Bernard,  

 

Thanks for your patience. 

 

We are still working on this feature “support to parse a recurrenceRule string to generate a recurrence properties object”. Due to its complexity and need to be tested in various scenario, its taking more time than expected. We will fix this issue and include this fix in our upcoming Volume 3 main release which is expected to be available by month of September 2018. We appreciate your patience until then.
