Tutorial

The following text will give you an overview how to use CalenGoo for Android. It will explain how to install it and which functions are available.

Installation

When you start the program for the first time, it will display the calendars and events of your calendars that you have already synced with your Android phone. So you can immediately start using it with your existing data.

If your device doesn't have a built-in calendar, CalenGoo will ask you for your Google Calendar username and password and then it will download and sync your calendars from this account directly.

Navigation

At the top of the screen you can see four tabs to display your calendar in different formats. Additionall if you turn the device in landscape mode while "Day" is selected, an additional, fifth view, that shows a whole week at a glance, is displayed.

To go to the next day, week or month just swipe over the screen, i.e. move the current day, week or month to the left and the next will appear.

To open an event in the day and landscape day view, simply double tap it. In the week view you can open events be pressing them a little longer and choosing "Open".

By double tapping a free space in the calendar you can create a new event for this time.

When you double tap a day in the month view, the app switches to the day view and shows you the tapped day.

Widget

You can add a day or a month widget to your home screen that shows the upcoming events or a month overview directly on your home screen:

The colored bar on the left of the timeline in the day widget shows all events of the whole day and a small red line where the current time is. The right part shows the current and the next two hours. A red line marks the current time.

When you tap the widget, CalenGoo is started and displays the current day and shows you the next events.

Drag & Drop

To move or copy events you can simply drag them with your finger: Tap&hold an event until it is highlighted by a white border. Then move to another time and choose if you would like to copy or move the event. It works in all views except the agenda view. You can also move events to another day this way.

Advanced functions

If you would like CalenGoo to sync directly with Google (to have more historical data, to sync with additional Google Calendar accounts or to see icons of events), you can add new accounts by tapping the menu button and then "Settings", "Add account". There you can add additional accounts. The next time you sync (with "menu", "Sync"), it will download all events of these accounts.
