This is a guide on synchronizing contacts and calendars on Android with an ownCloud instance.

Install DAVdroid¶

• Install DAVdroid from the Google Play Store or F-Droid.

Connect DAVdroid to ownCloud¶

• Open the DAVdroid app.

• When prompted to add a new account select Login with URL and user name and fill in the credentials accordingly:
  1. Base URL: https://owncloud.example.com
  2. User name: user@example.com
  3. Password: SuperSecretPassword

• Tap on Create Account

• Once the account is created, tap on the account and select which contacts and calendars to sync.

Syncing only with ownCloud¶

• Open the default Calendar app, then tap the Menu button and Calendars to display.

• Once the Calendar list appears tap on Calendars to Sync and select which accounts to sync with. In my case, I use only ownCloud and deselect any google accounts.
