I was able to get a Google Calendar to synch with Evolution, but still
not able to get Google Contacts to synch using the following procedure:
1. Ubuntu: System Settings -> Online Accounts
a. Add your Google account
b. Turn off all applications except Evolution Data Server for Contacts
and Calendar
2. Browser: Log in to Google go to your "My Account" page
a. "Allow less secure Apps" must be ON
If this is turned OFF, then Evolution will complain about an invalid
password for your gmail account
Calendar
========
3. Ubuntu: Evolution -> Calendar
a. Add a Google calendar
i. Right-Click CalDAV (or Google, if it already exists in the
left-hand frame)
ii. Select Add Calendar
iii. Type: Google,
Name: <enter one>,
Color: <choose one>,
User: <your gmail address>,
Calendar: "Default User Calendar"
iv. Click OK
b. Edit the Properties of calendar you just added
i. Right-Click the new calendar
ii. Select Properties
iii. Click "Find Calendars"
iv. Select the appropriate calendar
v. Click OK
I had to perform both parts 3a and 3b because I received an error trying
to select the Google calendar in the Add step
Contacts
========
4. Ubuntu: Evolution -> Contacts
a. Click on GoogleContacts
i. I continue getting the "Address book cannot be opened." error
Unable to connect to 'Google Contacts': Requested resource
was not found.

<sigh> Maybe when 16.04 LTS stabilizes later this year this will be
fixed...
