Can someone help me? I can't see what I did wrong

Hey @rodrigofbm, which Android SDK is your app targeting? If 23+, you will need to have the app request permission:

RNCalendarEvents.authorizeEventStore()

[fachrinfl]

hello @rodrigofbm , how cant i use RNCalendarEvents.authorizeEventStore() for target api 27, i tried but no working

import Permissions from 'react-native-permissions';
import RNCalendarEvents from 'react-native-calendar-events';

requestPermission () {
      console.log('*** _requestPermission');
      Permissions.checkMultiple([ 'eventWrite']).then((response) => {
        console.log(response);
        if (response.eventWrite === 'undetermined') {
          Permissions.request('eventWrite').then((response) => {
            console.log(response);
            this.createEvent(response);
          });
        }
      });
    }

createEvent = async (respone) => {
      if (respone === 'authorized') {
        await RNCalendarEvents.authorizeEventStore();
        await RNCalendarEvents.saveEvent('Pinjam Modal Event', {
          calendarId: '141',
          startDate: '2018-06-29T19:26:00.000Z',
          endDate: '2018-06-30T19:26:00.000Z'
        });
      }
    }

@fachrinfl I was missing

import com.calendarevents.CalendarEventsPackage;

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
  ...

  @Override
  public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
      CalendarEventsPackage.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
      super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
  }

  ...
}

from the installation docs.

i already implement it, working fine on ios, but i did not get permission to add an event on android. im already set targetSDKversion>23. the pop up permission appears but after i choose allow, the permission status on checkPermission() method return 'restricted'. and requestAuthorization() return 'denied'. any ideas?

[wmcmahan]

@jsuhangita It's difficult to know why your permissions are denied without knowing the full context of your use. Also, requestPermissions is the method used to prompt the permissions acceptance. If permission is denied, I believe it will remain denied unless specifically changed in the app's settings.

I have the same error in Android while saving the events in the android calendar working fine in Ios
Error: you don't have permissions to add an event to the users calendar

[mubashiralisiddiqui]
