EventList

The three EventLists provide access to the native Calendar database. Each list represents one type of the possible Calendar entries: Appointments, Day Notes, and Anniversaries.

The EventLists do not support all valid values for RepeatRule.FREQUENCY and RepeatRule.INTERVAL fields. The details are in the corresponding sections.

In PIM API there are no methods for informing the API user about valid RepeatRule values. (EventList.getSupportedRepeatRuleFields() provides only the valid field combinations.) Invalid RepeatRule values cause PIMItem.commit() to be rejected (throwing a PIMException) or the values to be silently changed to valid ones, if possible.
