Add ability to edit event status (#71, #201)

[MathieuSchopfer]

• Add a spinner to the Edit Event View to select the event status,
  one of CONFIRMED, TENTATIVE, or CANCELLED.

• Set default status in Calendar Event Model to CONFIRMED.

Thank you very much for the pull request. This will have to wait until my changes to EditEvent are applied.

No problem, I'll rebase when you're done.

By the way, I only integrated the change in layout edit_event_1.xml. Should we also integrate it somewhere else ? I do not know which layouts are still in use (and where they're active in the app).

No at the moment edit_event_1.xml is enough.

Can you rebase and put the status spinner under the visibility spinner please.

There is a bug though. When I create a cancelled event, it is struck through in the AgendaFragment. (That is what it is expected to look like, see screenshot below.) But then, if I edit this event and change its status to let say Confirmed, the AgendaFragment does not refresh the view, and the event is still struck through. Do you know if it possible to refresh the event painter in AgendaFragment ? (preferably to refresh only the painter of the event that was just edited)

Can you rebase and put the status spinner under the visibility spinner please.

I did that:

If I set the status to CANCELLED, the event is no longer visible in all views !? So on my cell phone they are not crossed out but invisible. Any idea why ?

No, it should appear crossed out. I can reproduce this bug. It seems the event is somehow destroyed, but I exported my calendar to ICS and checked : the event is correctly edited with the CANCELLED status.

Strangely, if you

• create a cancelled event, it appears correctly.
• change the status of any event to tentative or confirmed, the event is not destroyed.

I am trying to investigate that. But it goes much beyond my knowledge of the app and of Android framework I am afraid ... If anyone with more insights can make an assumption, that would nice.

But when you change something like the date the event disappears. At the moment I also have no idea why this is happening.
This morning all " cancelled" appointments were suddenly visible. But they disappear immediately if I change something like the date. Totally strange...

Sorry to "bump" this topic, but there seems to have been no updates to the STATUS-issues (this pull request as well as #71 and #201) since Mathieu's proposals and this discussion in December last year.
Is anybody still looking at this? Would so love to have these features in Etar. ;-)

Apart from TENTATIVE, CONFIRMED and CANCEELLED it shall be possible to set no status. The screenshot above does not suggest so.
