DAVx5 is a fully integrated sync solution for Android devices. You will be able to synchronize contacts, events and tasks with your favorite apps based on the CalDAV and CardDAV protocols, which Nextcloud also uses. Setup is very easy. From within the NC app for Android click the DAVx5-button in the settings and you will be re-directed to DAVx5 with your correct credentials and you can finish the setup.

After first sync you will see your Nextcloud contacts in your contacts app, and you events in your calendar app. When creating new resource on the mobile device make sure you choose the correct DAVx5 account to save the item, so that it can be synced back to your Nextcloud.

Works great. You only have to set it up once (unless you're adding or removing new lists/calendars), and then it seamlessly syncs your contacts, calendars and tasks between your Nextcloud server and your Android device, and you can use them with any app on your phone that uses the system calendars and contacts.

Works pretty fine. Meanwhile also with current https ciphers.

One does only have to use the correct urls for DAV:

  • contacts (CardDAV):
    • https://${cloud.example.com}/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/${user}/contacts/
  • calendars (CalDAV):
    • a regular calendar: https://${cloud.example.com}/remote.php/dav/calendars/${user}/${calendar}/
    • contact birthdays: https://${cloud.example.com}/remote.php/dav/calendars/${user}/contact_birthdays/

One can copy the correct urls from the contacts/calendars views in the settings:

  1. Contacts > Settings (bottom left) > Contacts ... > copy link
  2. Calendar > calendar ... > copy private link
