How to add an iCal Calendar on Android (Fossify Calendar, DAVx5)? SOLVED

I am trying to add a calendar in iCal format to my phone.

Fossify Calendar is nice and fully offline, using DAVx5 as sync adapter.

The link looks like

https://example.com/cal/export/5o2b2j393b21owbd829273b3

In DAVx5 I can only add an account, which does not work for this link. The only direct link to add is a WebDAV filesystem mount

Solved

You need this app for ics links that are unidirectional. Annoying (another app running in the background) but works.

Same with DAVx5, after adding the calendar, go to settings in Fossify Calendar and "add CalDAV calendars".

I think you need a calendar app to import it. I'm using Etar. It's connected to DAVx5 for syncing.

Hmmm and how does that work? Afaik both apps handle it the same and I prefer fossify over etar

Ooh okay, they are caldav in both directions vs unidirectional download-only.

A shame that DAVx5 doesnt support this, I will take this!
