How can you sync a calender with an iCal link?

Question

The school that I am going to has a calender that you can sync to other devices and programs through an iCal feed. There is just a link, no account info or anything. Is it possible to sync the events to the S Planner with this link? If not, is there another free solution out there?

Answer 1

For read only feeds ICSDroid does this. It'll work with facebook's feeds too.

DavDroid will do the same for a proper caldav server (syncs in both directions)

Answer 2

I think what you need to do is subscribe to your calendar in Google Calendar, then have your calendar app sync with this feed--much like you would sync additional calenders like days of the week, etc.

Subscribe to public calendars using the calendar address

1. Click the down-arrow next to Other calendars
2. Select Add by URL from the menu
3. Find the address of the Google Calendar in iCalendar format, or if you have the iCalendar address of a calendar from a different application (for example, Apple's iCal), you can use this as well.
4. Enter the address in the field provided
5. Click the Add Calendar button. The calendar will appear in the Other Calendars section of the calendar list to the left.

Then, in the Calendar app, or S Planner, on your phone choose the additional calendars to display.
