So, what's the matter? Well, the web-based calendar runs perfectly, but sometimes Android messes up: some calendars, which are correctly shown in Google Calendar, do not appear in Android. Repeating the synchronization does not fix a thing, you have to get dirtier than this.
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running > Calendar storage
Then, click "Clear data" and "Force stop". The first one wipes out the local cache; the latter forces the calendar to restart and download the calendars again from the internet.

Been struggling with this. Very frustrating. This fixed it all up.
Thank you SO MUCH! Finally! That drove me crazy.
Thanks so much. I appreciate the help in fixing my android calendar events not syncing
This didnt fix the problem that a SHARED calendar is not syncing. Someone invited me to share a google calendar and its not showing up on my phone.
This was my case, too. In the picture, the first two are shared calendars and they did not show up :)
Can you give me some more information? did you check 'em up in web-based Google Calendar?
Excellent. This did the trick for me!
Ahh!! Thank you! Works a treat this drove me mad!!
Hello, I can't get my past events to show up..What do you suggest?
Thanks
Hi! I googled around and It seems that there's an hard-coded 1 month limit for past events.

Please read this thread, maybe you'll find some workaround for this issue.
Thanks, this saved me a lot of time trying to figure out why my business appointments weren't showing up. Almost got me in trouble.
I've tried this....but still can't see the shared calendar I set up. Once I clear the storage and then go back and synch the calendar, I'm still only seeing my main google calendar...any thoughts?
Two questions:
- did you click on "force stop" before syncing?
- have you correctly set up the missing calendar in the web-based Google Calendar?
I have done all of these things to no avail. The calendar is checked in google, I've cleared, force stopped and sycnhed the android calendar and I still don't see the shared calendar I set up. It works fine on my wifes iphone and ipad, very frustrating. Any additional thoughts?
Hi, this works and has been very helpful!!! I was getting very frustrated with Android calendar. Thank you so much!
Have a Motorola Droid X, unrooted, with Android 2.3.4
When I got to Applications> Running
It shows Calendar but not Calendar Local Cache

My problem is that I seem to need to MANUALLY sync it.
Thanks. Tried many times to fix that. Yours was the only suggestion that worked.
Thanks! It worked, although for me the "Calendar Storage" application was not in "running applications". However, I found it in "all applications". Thanks again!
Worked! Thanks so much. Although for me, the "Calendar Storage" application was found in "All" instead of "Running".
Thank you.
This is outstanding...worked out great! Thanks for posting!
Worked for me, but the program was found under "All" on my Samsung Galaxy S2 with ICS.
This did not work for me!
This unfortunately did not work for me.
Very helpful. Thank you! This was a very frustrating problem.
I simply cannot thank you enough! This was MADDENING! LOL!
Great! Thank you so much! Only useful thing in all those hours of searching how to fix this problem! Thanks!
Thank you so much! I was going crazy with searching the solution...

This truly is the ONLY FIX. I've struggled for HOURS. I have no idea what happened, but last evening, all shared calendars disappeared, just gone. All six shared are now back. Thank you for posting this remedy!!!
THANK YOU...all six shared calendars that disappeared yesterday and now appearing. You rock!!
Awesome! I think an OS update moved the location of the process (as recent commenters have said.) Worked!
I love you!
Thanks for the help ;)
This so did not work!!! Not only do I not see my shared calendars... Now I can't see any of my calendars!!!! And I have no idea how to fix it. HELP!!!
This didn't work for me either. I did get it fixed so try this. Open your calendar, open settings, select MORE (you may or may not be exactly set up this way) then choose calendars. You will see a list of those calendars who are sharing with you. You will see the status and it should say whether it's synced, visible etc. I had to tap on the one I'm sharing till it said synced, visible. Once I selected that, I saw my calendar start populating.
Worked like a charm! Thanks for posting!
worked perfectly, even for shared calendars! Thanks! Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android version 4.1.1
I don't know what anyone is talking about. THIS DOES NOT WORK!!! The only way to fix the problem is a factory reset. IF... And I stress IF you are using Android 2.3.6 there is no fix. I'm not a happy chappy about this, because this is the second time this year that I've had this problem.
Thanks a lot, worked for me ;)
That worked!
Thanks!
Thank you SO MUCH this worked for me. I was trying to view a calendar that my husband shared to me and I was at my wit's end.
Thank you. My problem was that I could not open the calendar because the app would not allow the keyboard to pop up and stay in place. Your advice cracked the problem straight away.
Thank you so much. I couldn't even get entries to STAY in the calendar on my phone anymore. I entered them online, but they wouldn't sync. Thanks again.
It worked! thank you
You could have informed prior to all this that this process would destroy your entire local calendar. Thanks I just lost a year of information
You could have reminded the readers that this process would destroy their entire local calendar. Thanks. I just lost a year of information.
It didn't work for me initially, I ended up going to into Applications|All and then following the steps mentioned in this post for each of the three calendar apps on my phone (Calendar, Calendar Storage, and Calendar Widget) After doing that, All my calendars, both mine and shared showed up as they should have. Thanks for the help!!!
THANK YOU!!!
Brilliant, thank you :)

Did not work.
Nothing works.
Thanks man it is useful !!!
Very helpful - thank you!
I had a shared calendar, which showed up via web but not on the mobile app. Couldn't find answer on Google Help, but this solved the problem.
BTW, for newer Android systems (I've got KitKat 4.4.2), the calendar data storage control function is found at:
* Settings > Apps > All > Calendar storage
Like everyone else here, I had the same problem and spent way too much time in frustration. I finally searched with this phrase, "why does only 1 of my google calendars show up on android." Truly a longhand kind of search--every other search had provided insufficient answers.
Mille grazie!
Thank you, it worked well.
Thank you! Worked perfectly :-)
6:32 worked for me, data clear and forced stop plus calendar settings adjustment worked :-)
Please can someone help. I have created a shared google calendar from myself and some friends. I have an iphone and they have android phones. However I have added some events to the calendar for june and they can see these. However I then added some more events for sept and oct but they are telling me they can not see them? they have uninstalled the app and reinstalled. they can not even see the events on there Pc's. Any ideas?
Worked!!
Worked!!
This didn't work for me, but I found another solution to make my shared calendar sync to Android:
Hamburger menu -> Settings -> More/All/Additional, and then I could se my shared calendar. Then I had to manually enable Sync on it, and now it shows up.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! It worked. Finally, my calendars are synced!
worked for me! thanks alot!
Make sure not to "clear data" just on the google calendar app but also the calendar storage. I was stuck on that for awhile
Hi. This worked for the shared calendar I had missing but now I've lost another one that was fine. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
