Kontact doesn't update newly added events

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an Event in Google-Calendar (Web)
2. Look at Kontact and wait ;(
3. Nothing happens, even if one chooses (Reload) on the akonadi-calendar in 
Kontact

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect that Kontact updates the calendar ... I even can't find a way to 
set an update-time-interval for to check for new events

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Kubuntu Lucid

Please provide any additional information below.
libgcal-0.9.6
akonadi-googledata-1.2.0

I can confirm on ArchLinux with libgcal 0.9.6-1 and akonadi-googledata-1.2.0-1.

If you edit an event in Google-Calendar (web), Kontact won't sync the edit.
1. Move an already created event to a different time in Google-Calendar (web)
2. Wait for Google-Calendar to confirm that your event has been updated
3. Update your calendar in Kontact, the event remains in the old spot, and will 
never sync.

I can also confirm on OpenSuSE 11.1 with KDE 4.4.4, libgcal 0.9.6-4.6 and 
akonadi-googledata-1.2.0-2.15.

Sync can be forced by updating the Akonadi resource:
1. Start Akonadi Configuration
2. Select the gcal resource
3. "Modify..."
4. "OK"

The issue is the same when adding contacts with the webinterface. They don't 
seem to get updated in kontact until a sync is manually forced (through the 
akonadi-resource-menu).

Same for me, the only wait to sync is use akonadi resource manager, modify the 
account, then just click ok..Everything resyncs then.

Shouldn't there be a timer for that in akonadi resource manager ?

The same is for me.

There is a solution? Like a timer...

N.P.

I'll tell akonadi guys also.

Regards, great work!

Is there any work on this? Makes syncing KDE with Google simply NOT working. 
Any workaround? Maybe one can manually add the login / password string?

No improvements at all for a year. It makes me so sad, as android dev and kde 
user, my agenda management just sucks...

You are absolutely right, this is just saddening and kind of gives me a cold 
anger, too. 
The devs here don't give a damn about all those android users at all :(

Is there any kde dev who uses android and read this thread ? :)

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133614 shows how you can use Kontact with 
the new "DAV groupware resource".

Does that help?

Here is the resource posted by octav : 

http://jpwhiting.blogspot.com/2011/04/kontact-with-google-calendar.html

But really, this is an awfull hack, it relies on a cancel button that doesn't 
work right in Kontact's DAV import dialog...

I love KDE and I am a follower since 10 years around, and I don't remember of a 
bug that lasts so long without any interest from KDE devs. Is there any way to 
ask for it to be solved or to group ourselves to offer a bounty for it ?

Thanks,
 Steff

The DAV option for me simply doesn't work, no matter what I do, the "next" 
field in the last step is greyed out. I am going to ask for help in the KDE 
forum.

Posted this into the forums, hopefully it will gain a bit of attention.

Btw. I also use KDE for more than 10 years and would never switch back to 
windows again, but bugs like this sometimes make me wish for it ;)

I subscribed to this forum too, and I invite everyone who wrote on this thread 
to ask for this bug to be solved on the kde community forums. I am sure it will 
attract some gentle kde dev's attention.

I saw that this issue was reported back in 2010 and was sure it couldn't be the 
same problem I see now into the second half of 2011. But it is. Sad. I hope it 
will be fixed soon!

It seems libgcal is no longer maintained (or actively at least) considering the 
share number of bugs not attended to and last least was about close to a year 
ago. Its so sad :(
