Quickstart Guide - Android¶

This guide will quickly get you through the setup phase of android apps and integrations with the EduFor suite.

This guide will make use of the F-Droid app store on Android, and the apps FairEmail, Nextcloud Syncronisation Client, and DAVx^5 from the F-Droid store.

Your experience using other apps and sources for these apps might differ.

Email¶

Open FairEmail. You will see the setup wizard when you open it for the first time. Choose “Other provider”.
Enter your name, your email address, and your password in the resulting screen.
EduFor supports email autoconfiguration for Thunderbird compatible clients, so the server details will be auto filled, and will look like this
You will see a confirmation screen
You are now ready to use your email account!

Open the Nextcloud app. You will see the welcome screen. Select the choice to Login.
Enter the server address in the next screen. It is https://cloud.edufor.me . The s in https is important.
Click Log In on the next screen. You will be redirected to a browser window where you will have to enter your username and password. (Remember, your nextcloud password may be different from your email password!)
You will then be able to see and manage your files in the Nextcloud app!

Open the nextcloud app, hit the burger menu, and navigate to settings.
Select the option to syncronise contacts and calendars. (Note: Avoid selecting the option to backup up contacts. We won’t need it after setting up DAVx5.)
On the resulting add account screen, select Groups as per-contact categories. Then hit create account.
On the resulting screen, check Contacts, then hit the sync button.

This section is only valid once you have a calendar setup in your account.
