Hooks

CalendarAction defines several hooks, predefined methods in Portofino, to extend its behavior.

void loadObjects(Interval interval)

This method loads the object for the calendar view. In the predefined example it calls loadCalendars and loadEvents. 

Parameter start, 

loadCalendars()

This is  an example method that defines new "Calendar" objects and add them in "calendars"  list.

Calendar testCal1 = new Calendar("alice", "Alice", new Color(0xe0, 0x40, 0x30)); 
calendars.add(testCal1);

loadEvents(DateTime start)

This is an example method that creates "Event" objects and adds them to a calendar. Events are defined by a calendar, an id, a description, an interval, a readUrl and a String editUrl.

e.g.

eventInterval = new Interval(time.plusHours(14).plusMinutes(30), time.plusHours(16).plusMinutes(30)); 
event = new Event( testCal1, "e3", "Meeting", eventInterval, null, null);

Parameter DateTime start
