I am using some custom views but not sure if this is necessary for calendar synchronisation. It should be easy enough to test. Create a simple custom view, e.g.: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("l" "Location agenda view" agenda "" ((org-agenda-files '("~/s/notes/diary.org")) (org-agenda-ndays 1) (org-agenda-overriding-columns-format "%TIMESTAMP %60ITEM %20LOCATION") (org-agenda-view-columns-initially t) #+end_src and then push to and pull from mobileorg as required. -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.90.1, Org release_8.3.3-535-g7213aa

Karl, I am sorry I can provide no additional help here and that the whole thing is frustrating. I've been using mobile-org for several years without much tweaking and, yes, enabling (not happily) the syncing of calendar with Google's cloud. That said, sometimes (for reasons I don't understand) things do not work fully (the calendar is not updated completely, events are missing, events get duplicated, etc). So this is not always 100% reliable. As for Android's calendar syncing with Google's cloud, and after reading Brian van den Broek's and Bingo UV's comments about Offline Calendar, I think I'll be trying that so I can get rid of the cloud.

I use the same application (in fact from F-droid) to create local non-cloud calendars and mobileorg uses it nicely.

How unfortunate. I use an app (from the Play Store) called Offline Calendar. It makes Google calendars that do not sync. I have mobile org write to a calendar it creates and never sync calendars on my phone or tablet. It works on my nexus 7 and my Moto G. It also worked on the Nexus 4 and an ancient 2.x Android Samsung phone. Best, Brian vdB

I do have three entries, non of them named "Org". Whenever I choose an existing calendar within MobileOrg preferences, it stays at the non-existing "Org" calendar.

I don't have an existing "Org" calendar and I could not figure out how to create it in my calendar app and MobileOrg obviously doesn't create it on its own. >> Maybe it has something to do with my disabled sync settings: I don't >> sync to the Google cloud. > > Aha, I think this is probably needed.

OK, then MobileOrg -> Calendar feature is of no use to me since I avoid the Google cloud. That's really weird since this feature is especially useful to people not having Google Cloud sync activated. >> I gave up and use MobileOrg mainly for capturing and (seldom) >> browsing my Org files for information.

I am just looking at the config in my phone (with Android 5). I have checked "Synchronize with calendar". The calendar name is set to "org-calendar" (I think that is the default, since I do not recall ever having changed/set it).

If I understand correctly, this is used by MobileOrg to place its entries in a calendar that the Android calendar will use. When the entries are displayed in your Android calendar, you'll see these as coming from "Org" (or mobile-org).

A little bit confused now: When I checked MobileOrg a couple of minutes ago, I did see some (not all!) Org-mode events for the first time. Only scheduled things, no events with time-slots. I did not check any further. I recognized, that MobileOrg settings is showing me the previously selected existing calendar. In calendar, I noticed that sync was activated. Gr.

[O] MobileOrg does not sync with local Android calendar
Hi I set up MobileOrg and it now shows the appointments from my emacs diary and my orgmode agenda. But nothing shows in my local android calendar, although I configured MobileOrg to sync with the android calendar. Is this functionality known to work, at all, and are there any special preconditions ?
