Hi, So regarding the iCal support, I have to extend the functionality of the calender events including ability to create recurrence events, exceptions in the recurrences etc. And then I can use a library like caldav4j and map the events created by the library to the existing events structure of the project. If it is so can I know more about the event structure of the project? It will be really helpful for me to proceed if I can get a good understanding about the existing structure of events.
