Last week I spent a couple of days researching how to sync a CalDAV server with any Android calendar.
I downloaded several apps, and tried to connect in many ways (without HTTPS, calendar link, user link, any combination of them, with and without www, etc.)
Today I chose an option I had been trying to avoid: downloading an app that was recommended in some places but that's no longer on Google Play Store.
Got the APK from some website that didn't look too suspicious...
website.com, username, password; and it WORKED. (This also confirmed my server was well configured)
IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. Within the next minutes I could test sending events to and fro.
WHY?
WHAT- WHY IS THERE NO ALTERNATIVE FOR SOMETHING SO TRIVIAL. This future is so dumb.
One would have thought that there was something better than a dead-simple app made for Android 4.4
I really can't believe it.

    Everyone just implemented what they themselves needed. And most calendar apps are probably just portfolio pieces anyways...

    I use F-Droid as my app store btw.

    I use Simple Calendar + davx, and everything is smooth now :)

    @h4xx3r Well DAVx⁵ is paid or with ads in Google App Store, so it kinda wasn't an option. I found it free and good on F-Droid, thanks to the man above. Or woman...
    And yeah, it works right away. Bugs me there's nothing on GAS. Not even the first app I got this working that was obsolete yet functional.

    Are u talking about calDav-sync?

    maybe its the one ur talking about, been super reliable! and for cardDav i use people sync. Also great. And integrates with Samsung Contacts and Calendar.

    Alternative is: One Calendar. Still in playstore but with paid features. However it can only show the events in One Calendar. Not for example Outlook or Samsung Calendar..
