I will spend some time over the weekend to port it to latest android release and also look into numerous issues people reported.

I tested the android caldav connector, the apk from this
code.google.com
 
I tried to build it for android 2.3 with eclipse, but it seems a lot
of errors like "Ace cannot be resolved to a type AceUtils.java /
caldav4j/src/org/osaf/caldav4j/util line 17 Java Problem" appears and
must be first resolved to permit work on the code.
It is I suppose primeraly java config as it was first coded for a
prior version of Android, but I'm not java coder so I cannot
personnaly help.
 
We actually don't have that kind of java ressource person at hand so
unfortunately I think we cannot contribue much to this.

As I could read afterward, it seems also that basicaly android is very
narrowly managing certificates and that probably Android 4.0 is far
better than 2.3 on that point.
lot's of people are complaining and even top level certificate agents
loose their way in how this is managed apparently ...

it would actualy be the best route to take for now for Android =<2.3
for short term, then a specific patch to manage the certificate if
possible. (other apps just skip certificate)

As said above, sorry, no such ressource here for now, will submit the
idea to some other people around in case...
just a patch to skip the error would be appreciated,
 
have a prosperous year

Hi,

yes, we have to rewrite it for newer android releases!

Actually I maintain the core caldav4j library but I hope that we could
find somebody to care for that.
 
Maybe the best way is to sponsor somebody to write your patch. If
you're interested in such work I could try to find somebody
 
Happy New Year + Peace,
