Re: [O] Google Tasks Integration
Hey guys... I'm the maintainer of MobileOrg for Android. We've been implementing a lot of features lately and have a big release coming up this weekend. One thing that we've been working on is being able to integrate MobileOrg with the Calendar on Android devices. I'm hoping it can make it into the release this weekend. If you want to follow the progress we're tracking it in this branch until we deem it stable enough: https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/tree/calendar On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 3:35 PM, Simon Thum simon.t...@gmx.de wrote: On 01/31/2012 08:10 PM, Eric S Fraga wrote: Simon Thumsimon.t...@gmx.de writes: On 01/31/2012 02:12 PM, Eric S Fraga wrote: I would be very interested in this.

Patrick I'm interested. I've written a CalDAV importer (and recently published part of it) and I'm interested in finding ways to get at least some amount of bi-directionality, for example, avoiding to re-import org entries (I can do that but it will work only for me then). Perhaps we can find some guidelines for sync. Cheers, Simon
Re: [O] Google Tasks Integration
Hi Eric,
Here is the script. It's pretty simple. There is no facility for
synchronizing an org-mode file as yet. I think the best way to do the sync
would be to do it when pushing an org-mode file to Google Tasks.
Tell me how you like this and if it works well for you.
Patrick
PS:
** Requirements:
- Python 2.6. This is the version I am using, and I am not sure if an
earlier
version will work.
- setuptools. This is necessary in order to install the Google API for
Python.
Get setuptools from here:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#downloads
I downloaded the egg package
(
http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg#md5=bfa92100bd772d5a213eedd356d64086
),
set it to +x and run it
sudo ./setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg
- Google Tasks API for Python.
Use easy_install per this page:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-python-client/wiki/Installation
sudo easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client
Thanks,
Patrick

[O] Google Tasks integration
I've been using org-mode for a year or so and I really like it. I've also been using mobileorg to get my stuff on my iphone. However, I'm less satisfied with that. Having to both push and pull from both ends to keep things in sync is a pain and I often forget. I saw that Google released an API for tasks back in May. http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/05/google-tasks-api.html I'd love to be able to just push/pull from the desktop and then access my tasks through one of the many task apps available on the phone or from machines that don't have org-mode or access to my org files. Is there any work going on to be able to take advantage of this API from org-mode?
