Re: [O] MobileOrg 0.8.1 for Android
Tom: We directly integrate with the calendar service on the android device. You can find documentation here: https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/wiki/Setting-up-Calendar-Support The gist of it is this: 1. create a calendar in google cal (you can do this on the web and it will sync the empty calendar to your phone) 2. go to mobileorg's settings and choose that calendar and make some of other choice in the calendar section 3. (Optionally) select the "clear your database" in MobileOrg settings. MobileOrg only looks at newly synced content to determine what to add to the calendar. Clearing your database will let MobileOrg re-sync all files. 4. Sync and we will automatically put those items into your chosen calendar (and will continue to do this on subsequent syncs). By virtual of it being a Google calendar it will automatically get synced up to google's calendar services on calendar.google.com Sven: I'm adding a feature request right now to will allow you to trigger a capture directly from tasker/locale and to have a widget that is just the icon and will trigger the capture interface. ... but the old scripting method should work.

For those who miss a Capture shortcut: It's also possible to create an icon that calls the capture function. Tasker would be a way to do this. It's explained on the "Scripting" site of the MobileOrg Github. Greetings, Sven

That works pretty well, except that if I'd capture a new item on my phone, it won't hit the calendar before it hit my normal org... I'll give the calendar integration a try when I have some time. How does it work? Create real entries is some ICS file? If so, does it also modify/delete items when I change them in MobileOrg (or org)? > So while the widget redesign is in the making, you could do that as > well; with the momentum mobileorg-android hasr at the momement, you > probably will not wait /that/ long :-) Good to hear. :-) Bye, Tassilo

[O] MobileOrg 0.8.1 for Android
Hi all, as other's have mentioned, this release is a major improvement. Thanks a lot. One thing that doesn't work for me however is the OrgMobile Tasks widget. It's always empty (Nexus S, Android 4). I know in some older version, it used to show all TODOs I have... But I think a global all-TODO widget is of no great use anyway (there are simply too many). I'd very much like to have a "Today" widget that shows every item of today (normal timestamps, SCHEDULED, and DEADLINE). And one usability consideration: IMO, simply touching the widget to starting the capture activity is a bit too easy to happen accidentally. I think, a small button on the widget would be better. Anyway, thanks again for all the great work. Bye, Tassilo
