Xamarin forms: How to add tapped event on XamForms.Controls.Calendar specialdate? - xamarin.forms

Question

I am using XamForms.Controls.Calendar package for showing calendar in my project. I am marking events on the calendar using the below code.
private void AddSpecialDateWithList(List<events> list)
{
List<SpecialDate> newList = new List<SpecialDate>();
foreach (events model in list)
{
string startDate = model.start;
int startIndex = startDate.IndexOf('T');
if (startIndex > 0)
{
startDate = startDate.Substring(0, startIndex);
}
string endDate = model.end;
int endIndex = endDate.IndexOf('T');
if (endIndex > 0)
{
endDate = endDate.Substring(0, endIndex);
}
List<DateTime> dates = GetDatesBetween(DateTime.Parse(startDate), DateTime.Parse(endDate));
for(int i=0;i< dates.Count; i++)
{
var newDate = AddDate(dates[i], model);
newList.Add(newDate);
}
}
calendar.SpecialDates = newList;
}
private SpecialDate AddDate(DateTime dateTime, events model)
{
SpecialDate newDate = new SpecialDate(dateTime)
{
Selectable = true,
BackgroundPattern = new BackgroundPattern(1)
{
Pattern = new List<Pattern>
{
new Pattern { WidthPercent = 1f, HightPercent = 0.7f, Color = Color.White },
new Pattern{ WidthPercent = 1f, HightPercent = 0.3f, Color = Color.Yellow, Text = model.title, TextColor=Color.Black, TextSize=10, TextAlign=TextAlign.LeftCenter},
}
}
};
return newDate;
}
Screenshot:
When I tap a day having event(31 Jan having maths homework), I need to get the event id and all the other details associated with that event. How can I do this feature? Also is it possible to show month, week and day view in XamForms.Controls.Calendar?

You could get the index of SpecialDate in your list in the event DateClicked
private void calendar_DateClicked(object sender, DateTimeEventArgs e)
{
int num = 0;
var specialList = calendar.SpecialDates;
var date = e.DateTime;
foreach(SpecialDate specialDate in specialList)
{
if(specialDate.Date.Year==date.Year&& specialDate.Date.Month == date.Month&&specialDate.Date.Day == date.Day)
{
events model = list[num];
// do something you want
}
else
{
num++;
}
}
}
