Android devices can easily connect with your Google account and this connection can sync your calendar across all your computers and devices. You can do this with the default app installed on your device or by using an app like "Google Calendar". Schedules that you create on one of the devices linked to your account will automatically appear on the other devices linked to that account.
Step
Part 1 of 4: Adding Your Google Account
Step 1. Open the "Settings" application
You can find the "Settings" application on your "Home screen", in the "App Drawer" section (menu of all applications on the device) or in the notification panel.
Step 2. Select the "Accounts" section
This will display all the accounts that you have connected with your Android device.
Step 3. Tap "+Add account"
A list of account types that can be added will appear.
If your Google account is already connected, tap your account in the list and tap your Google username. Make sure that the "Calendar" box is checked so that your Google calendar can be synced
Step 4. Select "Google" from the list of available options
Select "Existing" if you want to log in with your Google account or tap "New" to create a new account if you don't have one.
Step 5. Wait for your new account to be synced
After adding your Google account, syncing all the data to your Android device will take about one to two minutes. You can ensure that your calendars are in sync by tapping your new account in the Accounts list and checking the "Calendar" box.
Part 2 of 4: Managing Your Calendar
Step 1. Open the "Calendar" app on your Android
This app comes pre-installed on all Android devices. Your Android device may have a different calendar app provided by the manufacturer, such as "S Planner" for "Samsung Galaxy" devices.
Step 2. Tap the Menu button (⋮) and select "Settings"
This button can be found in the upper right corner of the "Calendar" screen.
Step 3. Tap on the Google account you just added
This account will be on the list along with the other Google accounts that your Android device is connected to.
Step 4. Check the box for each calendar you want to sync
If you have multiple calendars linked to your Google account, you can choose which calendars you want to appear in the "Calendar" app. Unchecking the calendar will remove all events from your "Calendar" app.
Step 5. Create a new schedule
Tap the Menu button (⋮) and select "New event". This will open the event creation form. Fill in the details of the form and tap "Done" to create the event.
You can choose what calendar you want the event to be by tapping the drop-down menu at the top of the form. You can select any of the connected calendars
Step 6. Hide your calendar temporarily
If you want your calendars to sync but don't want them to appear in the "Calendar" app, you can turn it off. Tap the Menu button (⋮) and select "Calendars to display". You can uncheck a calendar in the list to hide it but keep it synced with your device.
Part 3 of 4: Using the "Google Calendar" App
Step 1. Install the "Google Calendar" application
Not all devices directly have this application. Unlike "Android Calendar", since it's made by Google, it doesn't rely too much on the syncing process. You can download the "Google Calendar" app for free from the "Play Store".
Step 2. Launch the "Google Calendar" app
This app is marked with the name "Calendar", so it may be difficult to distinguish it from the default Calendar app already installed on your device. The "Google Calendar" app is blue, while the default Android app is green.
Step 3. Open the "Google Calendar" menu to view your different schedule of activities
You can open the menu by tapping the button or sliding it from the left to the right side of the screen. Your calendar will appear under the Google account associated with the calendar. If you're signed in to your Android device with multiple Google accounts, you'll see all of them in this menu.
Step 4. Show or hide your calendar by tapping on the colored squares
Each calendar in the list has a colored box next to the calendar name indicating the color of your event calendar. Tapping this box will hide that calendar from your main view.
You can change the calendar color by opening the menu, tapping "Settings," then tapping the calendar whose color you want to change. An option above the calendar's "Settings" menu will allow you to change the calendar color
Step 5. Tap the red "+" button to create a new schedule
It's located in the lower-right corner of the "Google Calendar" main screen. Tapping this button will open the schedule creation form.
You can change the calendar you want to use to create the schedule by tapping the calendar name at the top of the form
Part 4 of 4: Troubleshooting
Step 1. Check your internet connection
If your Android device does not have an internet connection, you will not be able to sync your account with "Google Calendar". Make sure that you have a cellular data or Wi-Fi network by opening your browser and trying to load the web page.
Step 2. Update your calendar app
You may experience sync issues when using an out-of-date calendar app. Open "Google Play Store", tap to open the menu, and select "My apps". Tap "Update all" to install all available apps that can be updated.
Step 3. Check the remaining space in the "storage" of your Android device
Your calendar app will stop syncing when it runs out of free space. You can find out how much free space is available by going to the "Settings" menu, selecting "Storage", then checking the "Available" amount. If your device free space is less than 100 MB, delete some apps you don't use, photos, or media to increase free space.
Step 4. Make sure that you don't add a schedule to the calendar that is currently hidden
If you add a schedule to a calendar that isn't set to display, you won't see that schedule when you check the calendar app. When creating a new schedule, make sure what calendar you are using.
Tips
- You can sync some "Google Calendar" with your "Android Calendar".
- Syncing other calendars won't get rid of the dates and memos already in your Android's default apps.
