Android Phone Calendar Setup
Install the Calendar sync App "CalDAV Sync", if that app is not available for your phone then install DAVx⁵ – CalDAV
If you installed DAVx5 then use the instructions at Calendar Setup - Android - DAVx5
Android does not come with a built-in CalDAV calendar client - unlike Apple devices. Therefore install this App to synchronise with the RosterSMS calendar server.
(Note: The app does cost approximately one cappuccino.)
After you have installed the above App
You can click on the images below to view a larger version.
Go to your CalDAV Sync App
If necessary, accept the permissions - click continue
Select "CalDAV"
Enter the following account details:

Select "Use SSL" (if not already selected)
Username: Your_RosterSMS_User_Name
Password: Your RosterSMS Password
Remember: Remove any spaces from your user name.
Click "Next"
Select the calendar for display
Click the "Sync from server to phone only" box
Congratulations the calendar should now be configured
If you now open your calendar app and check the list of the calendars, you should see your RosterSMS calendar
