Calendar for Xamarin.iOS: Navigation

This document describes the options to navigate between dates in TKCalendar and the related notifications.

There are two methods in TKCalendar used to navigate forward/backward in the calendar: NavigateForward and NavigateBackward:. These methods are context sensitive and the navigation period is specific to the current view mode (e.g. when using a week view the navigation period will be set to one week):

• C#

this.CalendarView.NavigateForward(true);

The calendar will not allow navigating to a date outside of the allowed period, specified by the MinDate and MaxDate properties:

• C#

this.CalendarView.MinDate = minDate;
this.CalendarView.MaxDate = maxDate;

The NavigateToDate method is used to navigate to specific date within the allowed period:

• C#

NSDate date = NSDate.Now;
TkCalendar calendarView = new TKCalendar();
calendarView.NavigateToDate(newDate, true);

You can determine whether a navigation occurred by implementing TKCalendarDelegate protocol.

You should implement the WillNavigateToDate method if you want to be notified before this action occurs and DidNavigateToDate method when action occured.

• C#

public override void DidNavigateToDate(TKCalendar calendar, NSDate date)
{
    base.DidNavigateToDate(calendar, date);
}
public override void WillNavigateToDate(TKCalendar calendar, NSDate date)
{
    base.WillNavigateToDate(calendar, date);
}
