Is this going to work in SP hosted apps? If so, can you send me a sample code or instructions to do it?..

Please help me on how to override the default result (100 items) from event calendar ? I have tried setting up the rowlimit to 5000 still i am getting only 100 items ??

I'm getting below error while executing above code - SharePoint Online! Any idea?
HTTP500: SERVER ERROR - The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.
