Tap on ``Finish`` and you're done. You're now able to use the new calendars in the same way you were using Google calendars before. - aCal ~~~~ -*To be written* +aCal is a CalDAV client for Android. It comes with its own calendar application +and does not integrate in the Android calendar. It is a "CalDAV only" calendar, +i.e. it only works in combination with a CalDAV server. It can connect to +several calendars on the server and will display them all in one calendar. It +works nice with Radicale. + +To configure aCal, start aCal, go to the ``Settings`` screen, select +``Server``, then ``Add server``. Choose ``Manual Configuration`` and select +``Advanced`` (bottom of the screen). Then enter the host name of your server, +check ``Active``, enter your user name and password. The ``Simple Domain`` of +your server is the domain part of your fully qualified host name (e.g. if your +server is ``myserver.mydomain.org``, choose ``mydomain.org``). + +As ``Simple Path`` you need to specify ``/`` where user is the user you +use to connect to Radicale. ``Server Name`` is the fully qualified name of your +server machine (``myserver.mydomain.org``). The ``Server Path`` is +``//``. + +For ``Authentication Type`` you need to specify the method you chose for +Radicale. Check ``Use SSL`` if your Radicale is configured to use SSL. + +As the last thing you need to specify the port Radicale listens to. When your +server is configured you can go back to the first ``Settings`` screen, and +select ``Calendars and Addressbooks``. You should find all the calendars that +are available to your user on the Radicale server. You can then configure each +of them (display colour, notifications, etc.). iPhone ~~~~~~
