Subscribing to CYLA Calendars on Android Devices

Follow Your Centennial Team using a Subscribed Calendar

Add an Internet Calendar Subscription to Your Gmail Account on your Android Device


An Internet Calendar Subscription is a calendar that you download and view in your Android device. However, unlike a Calendar Snapshot, Internet Calendar Subscriptions are updated automatically. As game or practice information for your team changes, your subscribed calendar will reflect the updates.

 
Google calendar supports the ability to add and subscribe to remote calendars that will show up in the Calendar application alongside any other existing calendars you might already have.

To add your team calendar to your Gmail calendar on your Android device:
  1. On your device, navigate to your Centennial team page, then click the iCal link on the bottom right of the team calendar (Figure 1). A page with a WebCal address will appear (Figure 2). 
  2. In the Calendar app, click the down-arrow next to Other calendars.
  3. Select Add by URL from the menu.
  4. Enter the WebCal address of the subscribed Calendar in iCalendar format, or if you have the iCalendar address of a calendar from a different application (for example, Apple's iCal), you can use this as well.
  5. Click Add calendar. The calendar will appear in the Other calendars section of the calendar list to the left.
  6. Once you add the calendar, go to calendars, Menu. For Calendars to display, check CYLA. For Calendars to synch, check CYLA. Sometimes one or both may already be checked, but sometimes neither are checked.

The next time you go to your calendar, you should see your team's events from the calendar you added. If the events do not show up right away, try again in a few minutes (it may take time to download the events).  Please note that events on subscribed calendars are not editable by the end user.
