Hi all,
as other's have mentioned, this release is a major improvement. Thanks
a lot.
One thing that doesn't work for me however is the OrgMobile Tasks
widget. It's always empty (Nexus S, Android 4). I know in some older
version, it used to show all TODOs I have...
But I think a global all-TODO widget is of no great use anyway (there
are simply too many). I'd very much like to have a "Today" widget that
shows every item of today (normal timestamps, SCHEDULED, and DEADLINE).
And one usability consideration: IMO, simply touching the widget to
starting the capture activity is a bit too easy to happen accidentally.
I think, a small button on the widget would be better.
Anyway, thanks again for all the great work.
Bye,
Tassilo

With the Calendar integration I use the "Calendar Widget" to that
purpose; I seldom capture notes, so a "Capture" shortcut is of no use to
me; I almost always capture via the android "share this" facility.
So while the widget redesign is in the making, you could do that as
well; with the momentum mobileorg-android hasr at the momement, you
probably will not wait /that/ long :-)
kind regards,
Tom

I export ics files from "real" org in an after-save-hook, and a cron job
uploads them to some URLs, and finally those are imported into my google
calendar. That works pretty well, except that if I'd capture a new item
on my phone, it won't hit the calendar before it hit my normal org...
I'll give the calendar integration a try when I have some time. How
does it work? Create real entries is some ICS file? If so, does it
also modify/delete items when I change them in MobileOrg (or org)?

Good to hear. :-)

For those who miss a Capture shortcut: It's also possible to create an
icon that calls the capture function. Tasker would be a way to do this.
It's explained on the "Scripting" site of the MobileOrg Github.
Greetings,
Sven

Tom: We directly integrate with the calendar service on the android
device. You can find documentation here:
https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/wiki/Setting-up-Calendar-Support
The gist of it is this:
1. create a calendar in google cal (you can do this on the web and it will
sync the empty calendar to your phone)
2. go to mobileorg's settings and choose that calendar and make some of
other choice in the calendar section
3. (Optionally) select the "clear your database" in MobileOrg settings.
MobileOrg only looks at newly synced content to determine what to add to
the calendar. Clearing your database will let MobileOrg re-sync all files.
4. Sync and we will automatically put those items into your chosen calendar
(and will continue to do this on subsequent syncs). By virtual of it being
a Google calendar it will automatically get synced up to google's calendar
services on calendar.google.com
Sven: I'm adding a feature request right now to will allow you to trigger a
capture directly from tasker/locale and to have a widget that is just the
icon and will trigger the capture interface.
... but the old scripting method should work.
