As fare as I know Google does not allow native usage of any other calendar
service. There are a few calendar apps which allow the use of an non Google
calendar. However, I would prefer something which integrates neatly with
Android. I'm not a big fan of the idea to feed all my stuff to Google,
neither but at the moment it seems to be the best working option (not
surprisingly for using a OS developed by Google).

I checked for the API and googlecl. Lets say there is plenty space for
improvement on Googles side ;).

Maybe, we should all focus to improve mobileorg. Its just the stupid fact
that basically many functions of org-mode written in elisp would require a
reimplementation in orgmobile in java. Somehow, this sound to me a bit like
a mouse and cat game. Well, if there would be a elisp interpreter for
Android, this would change the game....

> So would it be possible to build a native emacs for android?

I checked this a while ago and unfortunately emacs comes with a relatively
large pack of dependencies. Android on the other side does not deliver many
standard libraries. Xorg libc and afaik dbus are a few dependencies which
are not (natively) available on Android.
I tried Emacs in a debian chroot on my keyboard less device. It wasn't
really usable and I doubt that keyboard based smartphones are much better
since they most likely miss alt ctrl and other important keys.

Ideally we have something like Mobileorg and a emacs dameon running.
Mobileorg could send emacs elisp code to execute and access all org-mode
functions natively. This would allow to "reduce" mobileorgs task to
touchfriendly input and result representation.

If I manage to port a very basic version of emacs to android I will let you
know.

Greetings

Hi all,

Since I use my Android-based phone on a daily basis (after all it is a 
mobile phone), I got tempted to use more and more the google calendar. I 
know about mobileorg and all this. However, the calendar is so highly 
integrated with many applications on the phone that is is often just a 
click away to add a new appointment.

I know some people managed to get a kind of sync running between 
org-mode and google calendar. I would really like to know how this works 
out for them and maybe create a stimulus to write something (I would 
play the beta-tester) on worg.

Ideally, I want to have a no-brainer. I create a new appointment in 
org-mode and a keypress away it should be synced with the google 
calendar. Alternatively, an automatic sync every hour or so would be nice.

On the other side, I wish I could add an appointment on my mobile phone 
and it ends up automatically with the next sync as an appointment in a 
special heading in the org-file (like org-remember, does). From this 
point, I could move it to other locations if I feel so.

I would love to hear how far people got with an approach like describe 
above.

My major concern is, as long as it is not automatized in the most 
easiest possible way, I would, for one or the other reason, skip 
synchronisation and by time things become diverted and messy to sync.

All the best

Totti
