Sharing a calendar between Android and Windows

[homegeek]

I use an Android phone and my Dell Venue Pro Tablet. Is there anyway I can get both calendars to sync with each other? I know I can sync one way but that does not help when I look at my calendar on both devices. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks

If you enable your google account for the calendar, it should sync with both devices.

I have added my google account to the calendar as an iCal file. It will sync but only one way. Is there another way to do this?

Don't add it as ical, that's only for read only purposes. Add Google account, if possible. Is there no such option?

When I go into the calendar and go to the Account and choose Add an account I am only able to choose Outlook.com and Exchange.

Have you tried going to the windows settings, added an account, and use that google account only for calendar?

I am not sure what you mean.

Google no longer supports EAS for syncing contacts and calendars to devices. You will not be able to sync your Google calendar with your Dell Venue Pro without using Google.com or an app that supports CalDAV.

Edit: Alternatively, you can export your Google calendar and import it into a Live.com/Outlook.com calendar and use the Outlook.com app for your Android phone.

Would the metro mail app work?

If you are referring to MetroMail for Windows Phone 8, no, since the Dell Venue Pro is a Windows 8 tablet. If you are referring to the Windows 8 Start Screen Mail app, then no, as Google no longer supports EAS.

Good call. I wonder if MS is going to eventually unify both stores
