Bug Description

Sync of google calendar. The Google calendar setting is set by default to notify 10 min prior to all meetings.

Is it possible to get this default notification time from google with the sync?
or can we add a setting for a default notification time in the calendar app?

This looks like it might be two related but separate issues.

1. handling the notification time for events imported from google calendar

2. displaying triggers at the correct time, rather than at the time of the event. At first glance, this second one appears to be an indicator-datetime-service bug. I'll triage it further to confirm, and will file that under a new datetime ticket if I'm right.

Pat, I'm adding "canonical-devices-system-image" there, seems like an important issue and might be in the indicator which is on the image (even if the calendar is a store app, users are likely to install it and having event reminder working reliably is kind of important for those who use that features)

In fact we want to include calendar by default

I think this needs to be handled at EDS plugin end. When EDS syncs the events it needs to check google's notification setting and modify the event in local storage.

I can confirm that the event reminders are included on calendar event, and they can be retrieved/updated by QtOrganizer API.

The information that we have is:

BEGIN:VALARM^M
TRIGGER;VALUE=DURATION:-PT10M^M
ACTION:DISPLAY^M
DESCRIPTION:This is an event reminder^M
X-EVOLUTION-ALARM-UID:20150323T210628Z-2347-32011-1580-5@ubuntu-phablet^M

indicator-datetime needs to be modified to read this information out of the event and display the notification at the appropriate time

Adding ubuntu-calendar-app as also affected. Its "New Events" page for creating calendar events defaults to "On Event" rather than, say, 15 minutes before.

Hmmpf... doesn't seem to work on my bq.

Test 1:
Updated everything possible, including calendar app. No reboot, no restarting of any app. Created a new event (creation time appr. 15:55) to start at 16:10, set reminder to 5 minutes. Alarm went off at 16:10.

Test 2:
Switched off bq; switched on again. Created a new event to start at 16:35 (creation time appr. 16:15), leaving reminder at default / 15 minutes. Alarm went off at 16:35.

Let me know if i can help in any way..
