2 mins read

Using the Flutter Event Calendar, you can get the tapped appointment details using the `OnTap` event.

 

appoinments details

 

 

STEP 1: Inside the state initialize the alert dialog texts.

String? _subjectText = '',
    _startTimeText = '',
    _endTimeText = '',
    _dateText = '',
    _timeDetails = '';
Color? _headerColor, _viewHeaderColor, _calendarColor;

STEP 2: Trigger the `OnTap` callback of the flutter calendar. Please find the following code for the calendar.

child: SfCalendar(
  viewHeaderStyle:
      ViewHeaderStyle(backgroundColor: _viewHeaderColor),
  backgroundColor: _calendarColor,
  view: CalendarView.week,
  allowedViews: [
    CalendarView.day,
    CalendarView.week,
    CalendarView.workWeek,
    CalendarView.month,
    CalendarView.timelineDay,
    CalendarView.timelineWeek,
    CalendarView.timelineWorkWeek,
  ],
  monthViewSettings: MonthViewSettings(showAgenda: true),
  dataSource: getCalendarDataSource(),
  onTap: calendarTapped,
),

 

STEP 3: Using the `OnTap` event, you can get the tapped appointment details such as Subject, StartTime, and EndTime from the callback and assign it to the content of the alert dialog widget as per the following code snippet.

void calendarTapped(CalendarTapDetails details) {
  if (details.targetElement == CalendarElement.appointment ||
      details.targetElement == CalendarElement.agenda) {
    final Appointment appointmentDetails = details.appointments![0];
    _subjectText = appointmentDetails.subject;
    _dateText = DateFormat('MMMM dd, yyyy')
        .format(appointmentDetails.startTime)
        .toString();
    _startTimeText =
        DateFormat('hh:mm a').format(appointmentDetails.startTime).toString();
    _endTimeText =
        DateFormat('hh:mm a').format(appointmentDetails.endTime).toString();
    if (appointmentDetails.isAllDay) {
      _timeDetails = 'All day';
    } else {
      _timeDetails = '$_startTimeText - $_endTimeText';
    }
    showDialog(
        context: context,
        builder: (BuildContext context) {
          return AlertDialog(
            title: Container(child: new Text('$_subjectText')),
            content: Container(
              height: 80,
              child: Column(
                children: <Widget>[
                  Row(
                    children: <Widget>[
                      Text(
                        '$_dateText',
                        style: TextStyle(
                          fontWeight: FontWeight.w400,
                          fontSize: 20,
                        ),
                      ),
                    ],
                  ),
                  Row(
                    children: <Widget>[
                      Text(''),
                    ],
                  ),
                  Row(
                    children: <Widget>[
                      Text(_timeDetails!,
                          style: TextStyle(
                              fontWeight: FontWeight.w400, fontSize: 15)),
                    ],
                  )
                ],
              ),
            ),
            actions: <Widget>[
              new FlatButton(
                  onPressed: () {
                    Navigator.of(context).pop();
                  },
                  child: new Text('close'))
            ],
          );
        });
  }
}
