How to set up calendars in Android

Published: July 31, 2023


The exact steps may vary depending on the version of Android and the specific Calendar app you are using. However, this is a general guide on how to do this:

  1. Open the Calendar app on your Android device.
  2. Tap on the three lines in the top-left corner to open the menu.
  3. Tap on “Settings” or “Manage Calendars”.
  4. Tap on “Add Account”.
  5. Enter your email address and follow the prompts to enter your password and other required information.
  6. Once the account is added, you should be able to select it in the Calendar app and view its events.


Android doesn’t have native support for CalDav. To get around this, we’ll need an app to configure the connection named OneCalendar

  • Search for the OneCalendar app on Google Play Store and download it.
  • Open the app, Select a Theme and choose the CalDav Calendars option.
  • You’ll need to input the Username, Password, and Server:
  • Username: Your full email. Example: name@yourdomain.com
  • Password: The email account password
  • Server: This may vary depending on which server you’re hosted on – look for the Calendars & Contacts feature inside cPanel for the exact hostname to use.
  • Example: https://server.kc.epik.com:2080 or https://mail.yourdomain.com:2080
  • Tick Calendars and click Done to finish the configuration wizard.
