4 mins read

Using the Flutter Event Calendar, you can retrieve tapped appointment details using the `OnTap` event.

 

appoinments details

 

 

STEP 1: Inside the state, initialize the alert dialog text variables:

String? _subjectText = '',
    _startTimeText = '',
    _endTimeText = '',
    _dateText = '',
    _timeDetails = '';
Color? _headerColor, _viewHeaderColor, _calendarColor;

STEP 2: Add the `OnTap` callback to the flutter calendar. Please find the following code for the calendar.

child: SfCalendar(
  viewHeaderStyle:
      ViewHeaderStyle(backgroundColor: _viewHeaderColor),
  backgroundColor: _calendarColor,
  view: CalendarView.week,
  allowedViews: [
    CalendarView.day,
    CalendarView.week,
    CalendarView.workWeek,
    CalendarView.month,
    CalendarView.timelineDay,
    CalendarView.timelineWeek,
    CalendarView.timelineWorkWeek,
  ],
  monthViewSettings: MonthViewSettings(showAgenda: true),
  dataSource: getCalendarDataSource(),
  onTap: calendarTapped,
),

 

STEP 3: Use the `OnTap` event to retrieve appointment details such as Subject, StartTime, and EndTime, then display them in an alert dialog:

  if (details.targetElement == CalendarElement.appointment ||
      details.targetElement == CalendarElement.agenda) {
    final Appointment appointmentDetails = details.appointments![0];
    _subjectText = appointmentDetails.subject;
    _dateText = DateFormat('MMMM dd, yyyy')
        .format(appointmentDetails.startTime)
        .toString();
    _startTimeText =
        DateFormat('hh:mm a').format(appointmentDetails.startTime).toString();
    _endTimeText =
        DateFormat('hh:mm a').format(appointmentDetails.endTime).toString();
    if (appointmentDetails.isAllDay) {
      _timeDetails = 'All day';
    } else {
      _timeDetails = '$_startTimeText - $_endTimeText';
    }
    showDialog(
        context: context,
        builder: (BuildContext context) {
          return AlertDialog(
            title: Container(child: new Text('$_subjectText')),
            content: Container(
              height: 80,
              child: Column(
                children: <Widget>[
                  Row(
                    children: <Widget>[
                      Text(
                        '$_dateText',
                        style: TextStyle(
                          fontWeight: FontWeight.w400,
                          fontSize: 20,
                        ),
                      ),
                    ],
                  ),
                  Row(
                    children: <Widget>[
                      Text(''),
                    ],
                  ),
                  Row(
                    children: <Widget>[
                      Text(_timeDetails!,
                          style: TextStyle(
                              fontWeight: FontWeight.w400, fontSize: 15)),
                    ],
                  )
                ],
              ),
            ),
            actions: <Widget>[
              new FlatButton(
                  onPressed: () {
                    Navigator.of(context).pop();
                  },
                  child: new Text('close'))
            ],
          );
        });
  }
}
