Subscribe to calendar on Android

In advance:

  • In order to subscribe to a shared calendar, the personal email address of the person who owns the calendar must first be entered for sharing.
  • In these instructions, a calendar share exists for the calendar berta.musterfrau@uni-bielefeld.de for max.muster@uni-bielefeld.de as an example.
  • Sub-calendar: In addition to the authorisation for the sub-calendar, there must also be an authorisation for the main calendar. For this, at least the authorisation level "Availability only" must be assigned.

 

As Android does not offer a native option, paid apps must be installed for this. The following instructions show the individual steps for the department with the app DAVx5 (previously Davdroid) under Android 14.0.0.
