Integration via Caldav / Cardav * Two working clients for sogo are [[http://dmfs.org/caldav/]] and [[http://dmfs.org/carddav/]] * Other clients exist, but most have problems with sogo '''The advantages of the dmfs clients''' * Integrates fully in android * Very simple setup as it presents your available calendars and address books * Each calendar on Sogo is also a calendar on Android (You can set different colors and names) * Each address book in Sogo is also a address book in Android '''The disadvantages of the dmfs clients''' * Very new solution * Alpha stage (but alreay performing very good and developer actively working on the project) * Currently no todo/task sync available |
Integrating Android devices with Sogo
Currently you have 3 ways to integrate your Android device with Sogo
- Integration via Caldav / Cardav
There are various working clients, including DAVdroid https://davdroid.bitfire.at (open-source) and CalDAV-Sync/CardDav-Sync http://dmfs.org/.
Advantages Full integration into Android, so that almost all calendar and contacts apps can access synchronized data.
On Android side you have to look for these potential issues
- Calendar sync if not supported on devices running Android 2.1 or older
- When using the funambol client, make sure have the version with calendar sync enabled
There exists extended version of the funambol client, not available in the market https://android-client.forge.funambol.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=81&expandFolder=81&folderID=0
The advantages
Support for task sync when Astrid is installed and the Funambol client is used
The disadvantages
- There are reports of problems with syncing, such as events getting duplicated
- The Funamabol server is a bit heavy
Integration via ExchangeActiveSync
There exists a project which is working on a ExchangeActiveSync connector, but it is not yet production quality
- It will probably also have the limitation of one calendar and address book setup only
