Hi Kumar,

You will again need to use the customization rule. Something like this:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    RadCalendarView calendarView = new RadCalendarView(this);
    calendarView.setCustomizationRule(new Procedure<CalendarCell>() {

        Random random = new Random();
        int[] colors = {Color.RED, Color.BLUE, Color.CYAN, Color.GREEN, Color.MAGENTA};

        @Override
        public void apply(CalendarCell argument) {
            if (argument.getCellType() == CalendarCellType.Date) {
                int color = colors[random.nextInt(colors.length)];
                argument.setBackgroundColor(color, color);
            }
        }
    });

    setContentView(calendarView);
}

I hope this helps.

Hi Antony,

This random dates color work, but i don't want to apply color on random dates.I want to apply color on some specific dates.Is there any solution for this kind of requirements.

Thanks

Hello Vijay,

The random dates are just as an example. The same approach can be utilized for any dates, depending on your requirements. What's important is the main idea and that is the CustomizationRule conception. That is a procedure that is applied for each cell before it is drawn. For example you can store your shift (or whatever dates you need to customiza) in an array list (for example named myShifts) and if you want these dates to be colored in blue, you need to see first if the cell contains a date (by using getCellType) and if the date that it represents is the same as one of your dates and if so, set its color:

calendarView.setCustomizationRule(new Procedure<CalendarCell>() {
        @Override
        public void apply(CalendarCell argument) {
            if (argument.getCellType() == CalendarCellType.Date && myShifts.contains(argument.getDate()) {
                argument.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE, Color.BLUE);
            }
        }
    });

I hope this information helps.
