KalendarKit
What is it?
KalendarKit is a Compose Multiplatform library designed to simplify the presentation of events for users to add. Using native APIs, KalendarKit allows developers to present a modal EventKit interface on iOS and open the default calendar application on Android, making it easier to allow user to add events.

How to use it?
Add KalendarKit to your project
To use KalendarKit in your project, you need to add the following dependencies to your build.gradle.kts file:
commonMain.dependencies {
implementation("be.vandeas:kalendar-kit:1.1.0")
}
or using version catalog:
[versions]
kalendar-kit = "1.1.0"
[libraries]
kalendar-kit = { module = "be.vandeas:kalendar-kit", version.ref = "kalendar-kit" }
iOS
Permission
To use KalendarKit in your iOS application, you need to ask permission to access the calendar. You can do this by adding the following NSCalendarsUsageDescription entry to your Info.plist file.
Setup
To use the CalendarEventManager class, you need to setup the UIViewController that will be used to present the modal interface. You can do this by calling the setup method on the CalendarEventManager class.
You can see an example in composeApp sample of this repository.
Android
Permission
To use KalendarKit in your Android 11+ application, you need to declare the queries for the calendar provider in your AndroidManifest.xml file. This is required to allow your app to query the calendar app.
<queries>
<intent>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.INSERT" />
<data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.dir/event" />
</intent>
</queries>
Setup
To use the CalendarEventManager class, you need to setup the Context that will be used to present the modal interface. You can do this by calling the setup method on the CalendarEventManager class.
You can see an example in composeApp sample of this repository.
Getting Started
This guide will help you integrate KalendarKit into your Compose Multiplatform project.
1. Initialization
First, you need to initialize CalendarEventManager for each platform.
Android (Kotlin)
In your Activity (e.g., MainActivity.kt), initialize CalendarEventManager by calling its setup method with the application Context.
class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
private val calendarEventManager = CalendarEventManager()
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
// Initialize CalendarEventManager
calendarEventManager.setup(this)
setContent {
}
}
}
iOS (Swift)
In your SwiftUI App or UIViewControllerRepresentable (e.g., ContentView.swift or wherever you set up your main view controller), initialize CalendarEventManager by calling its setPresentingViewController method.
Note: The Swift example assumes you have a way to access or create an instance of CalendarEventManager from your shared Kotlin module (e.g., through the Platform object or similar). You'll need to call setPresentingViewController on that instance.
2. Creating an Event
Once initialized, you can use the CalendarEventManager instance to create events.
For a complete, runnable example, please refer to the composeApp sample module within this repository: ./composeApp.
