Calendar-Dairy-Events

Hi,

I am new to Java and I have been set a project to produce a calender that can store information for each day, this information will be:

* Event Type (integer)
* Event Name (String)
* Event Time (String)

I will have this information gained from a database, all I need to know is how to create the calender.

I would also like, depending on the 'Event Type' to display an icon which relates to the event, ie For a Birthday a cake is shown...

if some has a program that does this, could I have it? or if someone code write one for me, I would be much grateful.

Its will not be used for comercial use, but for coursework on a course I am doing.

This is the only thing I'm having problems with.

So thank you in advanced...

What is your question/request? That we write the app for you?

Nobody has a complete program that will exactly fit your requirements and nobody will do your job. You're supposed to learn the language, so learn it by doing it.

Thanks but…

I was asking if any one was able to help me, by showing me their code for it, or directing me to a tutorial....

But it doesn't matter now as I have spent hours trying and finally come up with the goods myself....

This is was a massive task, and a stupid task to be set as an assignment for students who have never looked at Java before.

So your arrogance is of no help… This is a good forum, and I have been a member for ages, and enjoy using the Forums, I am a VB programmer primarily but have had to convert to java for this assignment.
I have found the help given in the VB forums and VB. Net forums invaluable.

I would just like to say that you should be encouraging newbies to the language, by helping them, as there is very literature available on the web, not slating them.
As what you have said

You tell me here to learn how to do it myself?
Without any prior knowledge of java or how to get started…
Is this not like telling a person to light fire, without matches, and no wood around for miles?

Well…

Any constructive help in the mean time, would be appreciated.

Thank you.

§tudz you did say that you wanted someone to code an application for you. :D

CornedBee could have used a better choice of words though. :rolleyes:

I could have, you're right. I'm sorry. Was pretty tired when I wrote this, and slightly pissed off because I already had some "write an app for me" requests that day.

What I ment by has any one got a program that does this and could I have it... was I just wanted to see how they did it, I'm not into copying or ripping off others programs...

sorry about the misted clarity,
well,

any way.

can any one help.
I did work out how to do it but my version only works for the current month. here is my code for it:

Code:

---

int DayNo = now.getDate();
    int DayVal = now.getDay();
    int Row = 0;
    int Col = 0;
   
    if (DayNo == 7){
    Row = 0;
    }
    else{
        Row = DayNo / 7;
    }
   
    // Fill in Today
    switch(DayVal) {
    case 1: tbl_Days.setValueAt(Integer.toString(DayNo),Row,1); break;
    case 2: tbl_Days.setValueAt(Integer.toString(DayNo),Row,2); break; 
    case 3: tbl_Days.setValueAt(Integer.toString(DayNo),Row,3); break;
    case 4: tbl_Days.setValueAt(Integer.toString(DayNo),Row,4); break;
    case 5: tbl_Days.setValueAt(Integer.toString(DayNo),Row,5); break;
    case 6: tbl_Days.setValueAt(Integer.toString(DayNo),Row,6); break;
    case 7: tbl_Days.setValueAt(Integer.toString(DayNo),Row,0); break;
  }
   
    // Fill in Days goneby...
    while (DayNo > 1) {
        DayNo = DayNo - 1;
        DayVal = DayVal - 1;
        switch(DayVal) {
            case 0: Col = 0; break;
            case 1: Col = 1; break;
            case 2: Col = 2; break;
            case 3: Col = 3; break;
            case 4: Col = 4; break;
            case 5: Col = 5; break;
            case 6: Col = 6; break;
        }   
        tbl_Days.setValueAt(Integer.toString(DayNo),Row,Col);

        if (DayVal == 0) {
        Row = Row - 1;
        DayVal = 7;
        }
    }
   
    // Fill in Days to come...
    Row = 4;
    DayNo = now.getDate();
    DayVal = now.getDay();
    while (DayNo < DaysInMonth[(now.getMonth())]) {
        Col = Col + 1;
        if (Col == 7) {
            Col = 0;
            Row = Row + 1;
            DayNo = DayNo + 1;
            DayVal = DayVal + 1;
            if (DayVal == 6){
                DayVal = 0;
            }
            else {
                DayVal = DayVal + 1;
                }
            switch(DayVal) {
                case 0: Col = 0; break;
                case 1: Col = 1; break;
                case 2: Col = 2; break;
                case 3: Col = 3; break;
                case 4: Col = 4; break;
                case 5: Col = 5; break;
                case 6: Col = 6; break;
            }   
            tbl_Days.setValueAt(Integer.toString(DayNo),Row,Col); 
        }
        else {
            DayNo = DayNo + 1;
            if (DayVal == 6){
                DayVal = 0;
            }
            else {
                DayVal = DayVal + 1;
            }
            switch(DayVal) {
                case 0: Col = 0; break;
                case 1: Col = 1; break;
                case 2: Col = 2; break;
                case 3: Col = 3; break;
                case 4: Col = 4; break;
                case 5: Col = 5; break;
                case 6: Col = 6; break;
          }   
          tbl_Days.setValueAt(Integer.toString(DayNo),Row,Col);
      }
      }

this is currently behind a button.

I have used
java.util.date;

I know you can use the gregorian calender class, but I have no idea how to do this...


any help with this? thanks
