Feature Request: Google Tasks integration #130

Could be possible to integrate with "Google Tasks API"? Some resources are already available from Google APIs:

Thank you!

We've thought about that. The problem is that the app would need additional permissions, with INTERNET permissions in the first place (at present it doesn't have that permission). Many users won't like that and we'd like to avoid that. A solution could be to release a separate sync app. That's our preferred solution but it has other disadvantages.

I'm also in favor of this feature. I recently started using this app because it was a requirement to sync my caldav tasks. I soon realized that this app has the best interface of all the apps I've tried for managing my Google tasks since Astrid. And I've tried a lot.

I dont thing the internet permission is a big deal anymore, and with marshmallow, permissions can be enabled on the fly.

Please consider this as there would be a net gain of users rather a net loss.

Google tasks integration is matter of sync connector (like Davdroid or dmfs's CalDAV-sync), not the GUI app. Opentasks may support some non-standard features, but no network communication. It is simply ot of scope :)

fair enough
