Calendar app you sync with sharepoint calendar

Hi all. I am going to find a Calendar app to sync with sharepoint calendar as the process to sync it with gmail calendar is too convoluted.
Does anyone know of something that can do this?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

might try CalWidget as it allows you to specify which calendars to sync with

Thanks, does this require the calendar to already be connected to the device in some way? Android doesn't seem to natively support connecting to a sharepoint calendar, don't know if its ASP related or nobody has made one for HTTP.

Facebook sync

So, I've really enjoyed the switch from my Evo to the Nexus. I had quit using all of the Sense bloat already and was happy to see it go all together. However, I am finding I do miss one thing: having the integration between Facebook calendar/contact and the calendar/contacts from my email (in my case Exchange/Corporate email). It was nice having all of my Facebook contact avatars show up on my phone contacts and having all of the FB calendar events show up on the phone's calendar. Does anyone know if there's a way to duplicate that functionality? Anyone have any experience with an app that can sync everything? I looked at a few things in the market, but didn't find anything that could sync.
Thanks,
Rob

Google isnt allowing it. There is a rom that does though i guess.
edit - heres the xda thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361108

I'm wondering though based on the 4.0.3 sdk post if it means facebook might work once again.

Google is adding it back in with Android 4.0.3,http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...brings-bug-fixes-and-new-apis-for-developers/
"Social Stream API, Applications that use social stream data such as status updates and check-ins can now sync that data with each of the user’s contacts, providing items in a stream along with photos for each. This new API lets apps show users what the people they know are doing or saying, in addition to their photos and contact information."

We just have to wait for Facebook for Android to implement the API.

Was going to say, Facebook still has to update their API and it seems (or at least I heard) that they aren't actively following Google's API information.

Does it work well on the gnex and ics?
It seems the FB non sync issue is more than about the API. FB info cannot be exported so google says it can be used
http://www.slashgear.com/nexus-s-lo...sync-as-google-tightens-data-policy-23135396/

I use friendcaster, not that great an app imo but it does the contact sync that the facebook app used to do and it works on ics

I feel a root/new ROM coming on.

Mine seems to sync ok, but I have the Google account at as default for calendar. Might be that entries for Samsung account do not get synced with Google(?).

Edit: New Answer
Maybe I didn't have Google Calender installed. I don't remember it syncing both ways on my Note and remember a message stating so when first launching it.
Thanks for bringing this up.

Good concise explanation. It's confusing and is one reason I don't use the s-planner app at all. What I need is to add an event on one device and have it appear on all of them, and they're not all Note devices.

kable said:
Yep, It says that when you first open it.
It imports from Google calender but does not export any information which sucks because otherwise it is such a nice program.

Just checked on mine to be 100% sure, and it is working.
On my Note 8 i entered an appointment using Google account, even added picture snote, and it synced momentarily (except for the note).
Maybe try installing native Google calendar from the Market, and check if your sync works?

It is working fine for me too. I also have an exchange account from work and sync all the calendars fine and I can create appointments from the Note 8 and see it 1 minute after on my GNexus calendar.

Mine works. Under settings in the S Planner make sure you have the calendar for your gmail account checked, not your samsung. What does not sync are tasks.

Mine still doesn't work. Initial calendar got populated but any new updates don't work either from s Planner to Google calendar or visaversa

This would mean that sync had access to network and partly works.
Really strange. Maybe try deleting the Google account and clearing Google Calendar Sync data (settings/apps/all) + restart and then set it again?

Go to settings -> accounts and click Google. See if sync is disabled.

Have an update:
Initially I did not have Google calendar installed on Note; only S Planner. In Google sync calendar was checked. In S Planner mycalendar was the @gmail.com calendar. But this was rsulting in updates not flowing between teh S Planner and calendar on Google
Then I wrote this post..
Yesterday night I also installed Google calendar app on Note, and voilla... S Planner and Google Calendar (both app and actual web Google calendar) are now in sync.
So, my conclusion is that for S Planner and Google Calendar you need; last 2 sound obvious....
1. Both S Planner and Google Calendar apps installed on Note;
2. Google calendar sync turned on
3. Google calendar chosen as the calendar on S Planner

Can you check Google calender from the web and see if Google has your appointments saved there as well?
I always seemed to loose my appointments if I wiped my phone.
Thanks.

Yes, they are in Google Web calendar.
I've been using Googel calendar app (on android, iOS and Windows) for a long time an that was not an issue.
issue was adding things from S Planner were not saving to Google, and now they do

Hi,
I had same problem with my Galaxy SIII. When I installed the Calendar app from google, S Planner started to sync via it.
I also saw that under options->accounts->Google: Calendar did not want to sync without the google app installed.
Good luck! :good:

Had the same problem on my Galaxy Note 10.1, and nothing worked including installing the Google Callendar.
At some point I've noticed that the first field on the event creation page on the S-Planner is the callendar (In other words: you choose which callendar to create the event on).
For obvious reasons, the default one is device callendar which doesn't sync to anything. But once you change it once, it stays that way .
Hope it helps .

Calendar
I live and die by my Google Calendar.
Here's your problem (I think):
You have to go through the SPlanner, Google Calendar or the app of your choice and 1st enable and disable under each account which calendars you want to keep synced. I disable everything except my Google Calendar. 2nd In the configuration somewhere you should find an option for setting the default calendar.
Only the Google calendars will sync to Google Calendars - I know it seems obvious, but this is why I disable all the others.

the solution to this is whats stated above.
Tested everything with my s3 and the only thing worked is installing (or in my case re-installing the google calendar app on my s3)

thank you for this fix. I installed google calendar app on all my devices and no more sync problems between s-planner and Digical Calendar app. I just hide the google calendar icon

Just so you know... I have more than one Google account. One is dedicated to google play store only. I noticed that in Splanner the default may point to the first account. Which may be setup with everything disabled. Since I have both Samsung and Google accounts for calenders, I set all calenders as my option. Now all accounts sync. So be careful about which calender you set your Splanner to, as it may give you problems as well.

Problem is that in S-Planner you can dismiss and it remains on the calendar.
In G Calendar you need to delete.
Also with G Calendar enabled you need to do this twice.
I don't understant on my Note 8 I don't need G Calendar it just syncs.
In Note 3 it doesn't work without G calendar a real PITA.

Is there an app for this

Hi
Does anyone know if there is an app or software for the task I need to do. I have a Samsung s3 mini I use the calender app on it to keep a track of my rota, I would like to synch this calendar with the outlook calendar on my computer and the synch this with calendar on my nexus 7 is this possible. I'm currently trialling my phone explorer but it is duplicating all my entries and I can't solve the issue, so wondered if there is any other way. Don't really want to use the Google calendar.

might be way to go
Has anyone had any dealings with jorte calender, this looks an easier way for what I want, can load it on tablet and phone then synch them using there cloud system just won't have a copy in outlook, but its not end of world.

There is a way to sync your outlook calendar, but this would be way easier. Not an app but a program for your computer
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gappssync.
Just sync your current calendar with your google one(Should probably be like that already) then add whatever new events and stuff from google calendar or outlook rather than any other app you may use.

what email and calendar software are you using on the XL?

I dont like the gmail app, or the google calendar app. What are people using as alternatives? I am basically coming from Note 7 (via an iphone) and I always thought Samsungs calendar and email apps were better.

I use digical+ it looks good and helped me get over Samsung calendar

Lol guys... None of those suggestions is an "alternative app". Two restatements of what he wants to avoid. One statement of a website, not an app!
I myself don't use an email app alternate.
But I like aCalendar+ from app store. It jives with my needs (not a super complicated schedule,) and I use the app for events I plan to attend and appointments. Reminders work well.

I'm using Nine for email, as I have many rules setup for organization but needed an "All Mail" view. For Calendar, I'm just using GMail and APW. I've always used TouchDown when not on HTC devices (HTC has a well built email app of their own that has an all mail view), but decided to give Nine a go with the Pixel and am not disappointed in the least.

Since neither Touchdown or Touchdown HD were working right for me (receiving was fine, and creating/sending a new message was OK but replying or forwarding would just hang), I started using TypeApp and LOVE it.

Type App for email and Event Flow for the calendar.

TypeApp for email. Google calendar because I haven't had any issues with it.

Nine for exchange email for work, gmail for personal email and Business Calendar 2 for all my calendars. I love that calendar program, have used it for past few years.

lemmings love jumping off cliffs..why...everyone else is doing it..

I use Inbox for email and, even after years of using a smartphone, I've still never had a reason to even use a calendar lol

I use Google Calendar and AquaMail.

Try Google's inbox for mail, works really well.
I always try new calendars (and always go back to Google's). give cal calendar or Sol calendar a try.

I use Bluemail. Very feature rich.

I use Boxer email, can view all my email amounts in one combined email and has the option to mark emails as read from the notification (a rare option in a lot of email apps). For calendar I use the Google calendar but interact with it using the "Calendar Widget:Month" widget using a Google theme.

I like both Gmail and calendar, but use APW for my calendar widget
