CalendarUnit question

Hi,

I have a question about the CalendarUnit enum, i'm using it for LocalNotifications in my app. Thing is my client wants to choose between the following repeatintervals:

- hourly (default so no problem)
- every 3 hours
- every 5 hours
- every 10 hours

Since the CalendarUnit is an enum I can't add new items to it. I tried debugging to see what the CalendarUnit variable actually returns but it simply prints Hour. I also tried:

Code (CSharp):

1. Debug.Log (CalendarUnit.Hour + 3 + " and Unit converted to int: " + System.Convert.ToInt32(CalendarUnit.Hour));

This prints the following:
35 and Unit converted to int: 32

Don't really know where those values stand for.

Any ideas?

 

pretty pls

 

anyone?

The integer value of each unit is just a power 2, in the order shown (starting from 2), presumably so you can combine different ones and get a unique value.

You should just make your own enum

enum myTimes { OneHour, ThreeHours, FiveHours, TenHours }

Code (CSharp):

1.     enum myTimes { OneHour, ThreeHours, FiveHours, TenHours }
2.  
3.     myTimes time;
4.  
5.     void OnGUI () {
6.         time = (myTimes) EditorGUILayout.EnumPopup( time );
7.     }
8.  

 

Hi hpjohn,

Thanks for your reply! Thing is, LocalNotification.repeatInterval only accepts a CalendarUnit. So I think creating my own Enum isn't going to work.
