The API supports retrieving information about existing events and creating new events. On iOS, existing events can be modified or deleted. On Android, only recurrence rules can be modified.
See Titanium.Calendar for examples of retrieving event information and creating events.
# Properties

3.2.0 3.1.0 9.2.0Alarms associated with the calendar item, as an array of Titanium.Calendar.Alert objects.
This property is read-only on Android.

Default: false
# apiName READONLY
3.2.0 3.2.0 9.2.0The name of the API that this proxy corresponds to.
The value of this property is the fully qualified name of the API. For example, Titanium.UI.Button

# attendees READONLY
6.0.0 9.2.0The list of event attendees. This list will be empty if the event has no attendees.

This property is read-only on Android.
# bubbleParent
3.2.0 3.1.0 9.2.0Indicates if the proxy will bubble an event to its parent.
Some proxies (most commonly views) have a relationship to other proxies, often established by the add() method. For example, for a button added to a window, a click event on the button would bubble up to the window. Other common parents are table sections to their rows, table views to their sections, and scrollable views to their views. Set this property to false to disable the bubbling to the proxy's parent.
Default: true

default attributes.
# lifecycleContainer
3.6.0The Window or TabGroup whose Activity lifecycle should be triggered on the proxy.
