Represents an Event list containing Event items.
An Event List is responsible for determining which of the fields from an
Event are retained when an Event is persisted into the List.
An Event List does not have to retain all of the fields in an Event when the
Event is persisted into the List. See the Event interface for a
description of the fields available for a specific Event. The
fields that are supported by a particular Event List can be queried through
the method PIMList.isSupportedField(int). If a field ID that is not in the
Event interface is provided as the parameter to the
PIMList.isSupportedField(int) method, a
IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
An EventList only accepts objects implementing the
Event interface as a parameter to PIMList.items(PIMItem). A
IllegalArgumentException is thrown by this method if the input
parameter does not implement the Event interface.
Enumerations returned by PIMList.items(), PIMList.items(PIMItem), and
items(int, long, long, boolean) contain only objects implementing an
Event interface.
The RIM extension functionality for Event Lists are defined in
BlackBerryEventList. Any instance of
EventList that is retrieved from
PIM.openPIMList() when specified
pimListType==PIM.EVENT_LIST will be an instance of
BlackBerryEventList and can be successfully casted to
BlackBerryEventList, if desired, in order to use the RIM
extension functionality. When a Event object is created by or
retrieved from a BlackBerryEventList then it will necessarily
be an instance of BlackBerryEvent and
will support all RIM extension fields and attributes defined therein.

public Event createEvent()
Event for this event list. The
Event is empty upon creation with none of its fields containing any data
(i.e. a call to the method Event.getFields() returns an
array of zero length). Even though it is initially empty, the Event is
capable of containing data for exactly those fields that this list
supports. Note that creation of the Event does not add the Event to the
list from which the item was created; a specific call to
PIMItem.commit() must be made to commit the item and its data to
the list.
RIM Implementation Note: If the runtime type of this Event List
is BlackBerryEventList then the
returned Event will be an instance of
BlackBerryEvent and will support all
RIM extension fields and attributes defined in
BlackBerryEvent; if desired, the returned Event may be
casted to BlackBerryEvent to use any RIM extension methods
defined there.
Event object associated with this
list. However, the Event is still not persistent
in the list until a call to Event.commit() for the
Event is made.importEvent(Event),
removeEvent(Event)public int[] getSupportedRepeatRuleFields(int frequency)
EventList for the provided Repeat Rule
frequency. Repeat Rule frequencies are RepeatRule.YEARLY,
RepeatRule.MONTHLY, RepeatRule.WEEKLY, and
RepeatRule.DAILY.
The int values in the returned array represent a bitwise combination of
Repeat Rule fields that are valid for the given frequency. For example,
if MONTHLY was the frequency and this event list supported
specifying monthly repeat rules by either the day of the month or by a
day in a specific week (e.g. Thursday of the 3rd week in the month), then
the returned int array would contain two elements with one value being
DAY_IN_MONTH and the other being
DAY_IN_WEEK|WEEK_IN_MONTH. All possible field
combinations that are valid are returned in the array.
If the given frequency is not supported by this list, a zero-length array
is returned. If the frequency is supported but no fields are supported by
this list for that frequency, a one item array containing the integer
0 (zero) is returned. In these conditions, any field that
has a value set will be ignored by this event list.

queried.IllegalArgumentException - if frequency is not one of

RepeatRule.DAILY.RepeatRulepublic Event importEvent(Event event)
Event into this list by making a new
Event for the list and filling its information with as
much information as it can from the provided Event. If
the input Event is already in the list, a new
Event is still created with information similar to the
input item (but not necessarily identical).
Note that not all data from the input Event may be
supported in the new Event due to field restrictions for
the list instance. In this case, data fields not supported are not
transferred to the new Event object.
Also note that creation of the Event does not add the
Event to this list; a specific call to
Event.commit() must be made to commit the item and its
data to the list.
RIM Implementation Note: If the runtime type of this Event List
is BlackBerryEventList then the
returned Event will be an instance of
BlackBerryEvent and will support all
RIM extension fields and attributes defined in
BlackBerryEvent; if desired, the returned Event may be
casted to BlackBerryEvent to use any RIM extension methods
defined there.

startDate to endDate, inclusive.
The specified "search type" determines the criteria for matching an event
occurrence; STARTING searches for events starting between
startDate and endDate, ENDING
searches for events ending between startDate and
endDate, and OCCURRING searches for events
that have an part of the event occurring during the period specified by
startDate and endDate. The returned Events
are sorted in ascending order by the starting date-timestamp of the
event's occurrence. An Event is returned in the
Enumeration only once if the event occurs more than once
during the specified time interval.
