I want to add event in device calendar on monthly which is working fine to me. But the problem is occurred in second condition. Suppose we add one event on 31st of each month and if 31 is not exist in that month then add on last day of that month such 30 April, 28 Feb.
Any suggestion to solve that condition???
Thanks

I want to repeat notifications monthly on a specific day, but my concern is, what if the user chooses the 31? Then the Notification would only fire every 2 months and never in February?
Because the day component would not match.
Is it possible to set the day to the last day of the month, so when for example February is the next month and the user selected the 31. then it would fire on the last day of February?
I could go the non repeating way and add the notifications manually, but then i would have to face the 64 scheduled notification limit.
Thanks for your help in advance.
The Calendar module is the way to go. Handling dates manually can get very tricky.
import Calendar
let selectedDate = "31/01/2020"
// Convert string to Date
let dateF = DateFormatter()
dateF.dateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy"
let myDate = dateF.date(from: selectedDate)!
// Advancing date by a month, to get end of next month.
Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .month, value: 1, to: myDate) // "Feb 29, 2020 at 12:00 AM"
In the example above, you can see how to advance date by a month.
If the user chooses say the 31 of a month, the calendar automatically calculates the end of the next month accurately, even if it has only 28, 29, 30 or 31 days.
One option would be to use remote notifications and handle them on a server. This would involve a bit more work and a server, but it is more flexible and allows you to change the notifications without the user needing an app update. Link to the Apple Doc for Remote Notifications.
The other option would be the use Calendar.
When you do your logic to send the notification, you can test if today is the last day of the month. If the user chooses to get the notifications on the 31st, and say today is the last day of the month and is the 30th, you can still send the notification because you know there isn't a 31st in this specific month.
I make JTCalendar into custom view , all thing were working fine until I change timezone to EST, the calendar is showing 27 days for February but the actual number of days in 2018 is 28.
It happen when I start the app in default timezone and then changing the timezone to New York from settings, then when I open calendar, layout is wrong. After this when I tap into date 24 and result is date 23. only happen when I change timezone from IST to EST.
I have set datePickerMode: .time and gave max and min hour. But I want to disable minutes selection but didn't find any solution. I can give minutesInterval but I just want to show or choose only 00 for minutes. User must select only hour.
Thanks for your help
What if you set the minuteInterval property of the date picker to 60?
If that doesn't work, and the only thing you're using the date picker to collect is hours, why not create a regular UIPickerView with hour values from 12 AM to 11 PM? (Or 0 AM to 23 PM, if you're using 24 hour time.)
How does NSMonthCalendarUnit behave exactly related to UILocalNotification repeatInterval ?
Find same day next month ?
or
Find the date for 30 days later ?
For example:
if i create a UILocalNotification with date:27/02/2015 and repeatInterval:NSMonthCalendarUnit when will be the next notification ? Do not mind whether February is 27 or 28. Just consider it is always 28. It is not the real question.
Will repetition be on 27/03/2015 or 29/03/2015 ?
Same question also applies for NSYearCalendarUnit. Is it just a addition of 365 days or does it mean same day, same month of next year (27/03/2016) ?
I would post this as an edit, but it's a bit long.
I imagine this does is based on the unit. For instance, if you create a uilocalnotification with date Feb 2, 2015 and give it an NSMonthCalendarUnit, it will call it again at every month interval for the same date.
Broken down into components Feb 2 2015 is NSDayCalendarUnit=2, NSMonthCalendarUnit=2 NSYearCalendarUnit=2015. So, the notification will be called whenever NSDayCalendarUnit=2 and NSYearCalendarUnit=2015 for any NSMonthCalendarUnit. (so if you did a leap-year date at the end of the month, like jan 30, and it was a leap year month in february, it wouldn't get called.) So, this would have the same day and year for ever NSMonthCalendarUnit. The same goes for year, except for years.
It would not make much sense for this to be an addition of days. Imagine setting the NSMonth interval for a date on the first and having it be returned on the 31st of the same month, that wouldn't be a very practical API.
Delphi Xe, Win 7, System TimeZone UTC+4:0, The first day of week in system - Monday, Time is synchronised with time.windows.com
In a palette of standard components Delphi Win32 there is component MonthCalendar, at it property WeekNubers=true (display of numbers of weeks), date=now, the first day - Monday.
Shows on 19 number (today) - number of week 43.
I request number through dateutils.WeekOfTheYear(now) = returns 42.
Source (0.5 Mb) http://www.sendspace.com/file/yuz6ko
Judging by an initial code of component MonthCalendar - there like all it is true (even if not to expose the first day of week, it takes value from system parametres).
And in inquiry WeekOfTheYear it is told, that all is considered also standard ISO applied, but numbers do not coincide :(
In any way I will not understand, where one week disappears - if to look on a calendar, should be 43 and if to consider, that weeks 53 and the first concerns last year...
By the way WeekOfTheYear on 01.01.2011 too returns 52 though like should return 1...
Why distinctions and where it is correct?
Both results are correct, the difference is because the DateUtils.WeekOfTheYear function uses the ISO 8601 standard definition of a week. That is, a week is considered to start on a Monday and end on a Sunday.
Check this explanation about the Weeks Numbers in the ISO 8601 format.
If 1 January is on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, it is in
week 01. If 1 January is on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, it is in
week 52 or 53 of the previous year (there is no week 00). 28 December
is always in the last week of its year.
Also the Embarcadero online help for the DateUtils.WeekOfTheYear function says
....if the first calendar day of the year is a Friday, Saturday, or
Sunday, then for the first three, two, or one days of the calendar
year, WeekOfTheYear returns the last week of the previous year.
Similarly, if the last calendar day of the year is a Monday, Tuesday,
or Wednesday, then for the last one, two, or three days of the
calendar year, WeekOfTheYear returns 1 (the first week of the next
calendar year).
So due which the 01-01-2011 was Saturday this week is considered the week number 52 of the previous year.
And that also explains why the week number returned for today (19-10-2011) is 42 instead of 43.
First of all, I could see no difference between the week numbers in the TMonthCalendar component and those returned by DateUtils.WeekOfTheYear(). (Monday is the first day of week on my system.) Both show 42 for the current week and 52 (not 53) for the week of 2011-01-01. (It's 53 for 2010-01-01, so maybe you just mixed that up.)
Now, as to why it's 52 or 53, but not 1, well, it's according to the definition of the first week by ISO:
First week is the week with the year's first Thursday in it.
So week number 1 in 2011 starts on 2011-01-03, and the previous one belongs to the previous ISO year.
The TMonthCalendar can treat the last week of the year as the first week of the next year, WeekOfTheYear function does not do it, hence the difference.
For example according to TMonthCalendar, 1 Jan 2012 belongs to both last week of 2011 and first week of 2012; 2 Jan 2012 is the first day of the second week of 2012.
According WeekOfTheYear function, 1 Jan 2012 belongs to the last week of 2011 only; 2 Jan 2012 is the first day of the first week of 2012.
Monday is the first day of the week for me.
