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.

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

As we learn about the peculiarities of each Android device, I will definitely add the information to this page. If you find that you need to deviate from the instructions above please email me and I will add the new information.
