Feature spotlight: repeating events in Touch Calendar
Touch Calendar makes it easy to add custom repeating events including biweekly events, monthly events, and events that happen every Tuesday and Thursday.
To add a repeating event in Touch Calendar, start adding an event in the usual way (tap-and-hold on a date or use the ‘Add event’ menu item). Then scroll down in the add event screen to see the ‘Repetition’ heading. Under that you’ll see a drop-down box with options as shown here.
The repetition options
Adding a biweekly event
To add a biweekly event, you should select the “Every x weeks” option. Then you’ll see further options appear below the drop-down box, after you how often in weeks you want the event to repeat, and if you want to set an end date for the repetition.
An event every Tuesday and Friday
Alternatively, if you want to have an event repeat every Tuesday and Friday, you should select the “On selected days every week” option. You’ll then see a series of checkboxes appear for you to select which days you want the event to occur on, and again to allow you to set an end date.
I can’t figure out how to add to the repetition drop down menu. Mine does not have an option to select “Every X weeks”. How can I add this option? Thanks in advance for any help.
You don’t set the options yourself – they should all be there by default. One possibility: have you checked the “Edit in built-in calendar” option in the settings? If you have, then you’ll see your built-in calendar’s repetition settings, and not Touch Calendars. Only check “Edit in built-in calendar” if you need to because you have a Galaxy S or Galaxy Tab device with sync problems.
