Recently, I need to share calendar with a group. Undoubtedly, I chose Google calendar. Since it is free and stable.
但實際在iPhone上使用行事曆後，我出乎預料地發現iOS 行事曆無法使用別人分享的Google 行事曆。
After several try, I found iOS calendar couldn't use Google calendar shared by another users.
這篇文章將會介紹在iPhone、iPad上使用分享給你的Google 行事曆的解決方案：Sunrise。
In this article, I'll try to introduce how to use shared Google calendar by Sunrise on iPhone and iPad.
iOS Calendar problem 行事曆的問題
目前我使用行事曆的方式如下：
My use scenario of calendar is as below.
- 由我更新團體行事曆
I'll update group calendar - 其他使用者在Smart Phone上經過設定後，就能使用團體行事曆。
Another users could use this group calendar after setting on smart phone
但根據我的測試，到 iOS 7.1為止，你即使在iPhone、iPad上的設定中加入Gmail的帳號，並設定了同步行事曆，也只能同步由自己帳號建立的Google 行事曆，至於別人分享給你的Google 行事曆並不會出現在iOS 行事曆內。這表示iOS 行事曆並沒有辦法滿足我們這群人的需要。
Based on my testing, until iOS 7.1, even you have set Gmail account in Setting and synchronize Google calendar with iPhone or iPad. You just synchronize those calendar which created by self. All Google calendar shared by another user won't display on iOS calendar. It means that iOS calendar couldn't meet our requirement.
About Sunrise 簡介
我這次推薦使用的Sunrise，有許多很棒的功能：
Sunrise has several great features as below.
- Synchronize iCloud 、Facebook 或 Google calendar 行事曆同步
這樣除了節省重新手動輸入行事曆的麻煩，還可以直接回覆FB活動出席與否，當你確定出席後，就直接新增到FB的行事曆上。
It is not only avoid unnecessary trouble to re-enter calendar, but you also could join the Facebook event on Sunrise directly. - 完整的行事曆資訊 Full Calendar Information
Sunrise可以填寫每個活動的出席人員mail、和活動地點的地址，這樣你可以發mail和對方確認活動的時間，也可以透過Google map幫你導航。
You could input the necessary information, the location and the mail of the people. Thus you could send a mail to people to check attend or not. And it'll guide you to a dating site. - 操作非常簡單 Simple Use
畫面分成上、下兩部份。點選上半部的某天，下半部就會直接顯示當天行程，不必再切換畫面，可以節省很多時間。
The screen is divided into two parts: upper part and lower part. Click the date on the upper part, the lower part will display the detailed dating in this day. It will save lots of time to switch screen between calendar and dating. - 直接顯示今明兩天的天氣 It could display the weather for today and tomorrow.
設定使用別人分享的Google 行事曆 How to use shared Google calendar
請按照以下步驟操作：
Please follow below steps.
- Create a Google ID是必要的
因為Google 行事曆只能分享給有Google ID的使用者，所以如果你的mail是yahoo、hotmail、pchome或其他的mail的話，你將無法使用Google 行事曆。
The Google calendar could only shared with the Google account users. If you are using yahoo or hotmail, you can never use shared Google calendar. - 請確認Google 行事曆的擁有者已經把你加入他的Google 行事曆「分享清單」內，而且你會收到一封被加入群組的通知信，在這個例子使用的是 Test 行事曆。
Make sure that you had been added in the shared list of Google calendar. And you will receive an notice email in your Gmail. In this case we use "Test" calendar.
- Install 安裝Sunrise。
只要點以下的連結後，就可安裝Sunrise。
Please click this link to install Sunrise. - Setup 設定Sunrise。
這個需要你同意Sunrise使用你的通訊錄與行事曆資訊。
You must accept that Sunrise use your contact and calendar. - Setup 設定Preferences
設定 「Background Refresh」成「15 minutes」。
Set "Background Refresh" to "15 minutes". - 等待約15分鐘 Wait for about 15 minutes.
這樣Google 行事曆的內容才會同步到iPhone內。
Google calendar will be synchronized with iPhone for a while. - Setup 設定Visible Calendars
別人分享給你的Google 行事曆應該會出現在清單內，記得要勾選後才能在Sunrise中使用這個行事曆。
Those shared Google calendar should be displayed in the list. After enable certain calendar, you will use it on Sunrise.
- Setup 設定Notifications
只有在Visible Calendars內有勾選的行事曆，才會在此看到這些行事曆，如果你希望行事曆會主動通知你，就必須勾選。
