Quick answer

Create and send Appointment-Confirmation-Message from Android-Calendar-Entry.

Making an appointment means

  • Add date, time and title of the appointment to the Android-Calendar
  • In Android-Calendar-Detailview use Send/Share (from menu or toolbar)
  • Select "CalEF" as share destination (to convert to human readable text)
  • Select the final Send/Share destination (clipboard, sms, mail, ...)

Usually calendar entries are shared in a human-unreadable technical format "ICS" (or "VCS") that calendar programs can read.

CalEF receives the technical format and re-sends/re-shares it-s content as human readable text.

Date/Time is formatted according to current language/locale.

CalEF can also process "ics" (or "vcs") files (i.e. from a calendar backup).

Requirements:

  • Android-4.4 (api 19) or later.
  • Permissions : None

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
