google calender sync: correct url

[daniu]

Hi,

until yesterday I could sync with google using davdroid:

https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/useraccount@gmail.com/events
username
passoword

Now I wanted to add another calendar to davdroid, removed the account therefore and added it again - since then I cannot get davdroid to sync the calendar any more. It does offer to sync the addressbook but not the calendar …

any help would be appreciated or at least some info why this would not work any more …

I need to sync with google cause I got one calendar that is synced to google from somewhere else and cannot change that …

regards

interesting thing is:

when I use:
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav as server I get the first (main) calendar. Unfortunately that is not the one I need …

plus: google says we should only use this on our own risk: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/caldav/v2/guide#new_endpoint

I wonder how you even get Google Calendar to work? Doesn’t it require OAuth (which DAVdroid doesn’t support)?

Hi,

well … probably that is the reason why only the old format seems to work:
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/#Google-Kalender-ID#/user

By now I found out that this does work …

Unfortunately there is no way to check the server address in davdroid. I guess I had set it up the same way before but could not check that in davdroid …

Now it is working again and I hope that I can get rid of that calendar very soon and only sync to the Horde caldav server of my provider.

The current Google API / OAuth method is not supported by DAVdroid but it’s still possible by using the old format as mentioned by @daniu :

https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[yourname]@gmail.com/events
username
password

Yet it requires the compromise Allow less secure apps: ON in the Google security settings.

However, delegates don’t sync.
