Calendar access for apps

patienttruth99

Is there something different about the way Graphene OS stores and makes access to the calendar available? Or perhaps an ASOP change in the past few years that would affect this?

I have an app that pulls info from my calendar, but is only showing appointments from my primary calendars and not the feeds I have subscribed to. On previous phone (Samsung) the events on my calendar feeds were displayed along side my calendar.

Thanks!

patienttruth99 There's nothing about GrapheneOS that I know of that can cause this. It's likely the app that you're using. Could you share what app you're using or how these feeds are set up?

The setup I have for my calendar is working fine. I sync with remote calendars without issue.

How are you "subscribing" to the calendars that are missing?

Some calendar apps like Etar have a built-in ICS subscriber, where those calendars are only visible to Etar. If you want ICS calendar subscriptions to be visible to all apps (i.e. add it to your calendars in Android Settings > Accounts) you should use an app like ICSx⁵.

Sure thing.

To be on the same page, all my calendars are coming through via Google calendar for viewing purposes. But they're supposed to be in a list of options when I make a timesheet entry so I can easily populate the notes section on a timesheet entry.

If you look at the app, once you have a timesheet entry hit the notes button on it and within the menu is "calendar lookup", it's supposed to pull a list of events for that time frame. Mine isn't showing events from my subscribed calendars.

Thanks for sharing the app with me. I tried downloading the app, but it looks like in order to the use the feature you're talking about users have to first pay for their pro version. So I was unable to test it.

I also checked reviews to see if anyone else had similar issues recently, but found none.

I gather that this app is pretty complex, so I feel kind of bad for my only suggestion. If I were in your situation, I'd delete the app's data and set it up again to see if that resolves the issue. You can do so by going to Settings > Apps > All apps > Time Recording > storage & cache > clear storage.

If that doesn't work, then maybe your only way forward would be to contact the app's developer to see if this is a known issue.

other8026 thank you. I'll give that a try and then reach out to the developer. He's been helpful in the past.

hemlockiv they're coming in through a Google account. I believe that should be integrated through the system?

I'm fairly certain it is the same way that I subscribed to the calendars on my old Samsung phone. That platform worked with this app.

Came back to add, I think this has been fixed. Either on the GOS side, or the app side. I just went to check, and it looks like it's pulling everything in like I anticipated it to.
