The following post: setting-up-google-calendar-with-kontact-or-korganiser-using-akonadi has very nice instruction with screenshots. Only package name and proxy settings are different in openSUSE.

• Install akonadi-googledata (link to software search page)

• Open up Akonadi Configuration, and click on Add… if you don’t see Akonadi Google Calendar Resourse, then you have to restart akonadiserver.

• If you see that, then open korganizer and (this is pretty much copied from the above post)

1. Right Click on Calendars and click on Add Calendar …
2. Select Akonadi
3. Click on Manage Calendar Sources
4. Click add
5. Select Akonadi Google Calendar Resource
6. Enter your email and password and select ok

• If akondadi google account shows “invalid password” right after you inputted the id and password, then go to Personal Settings – Network Settings – Proxy and check Connect to the Internet directly. Then the login should work.

• After this, adding a new address book with  Akonadi Google Contacts Resourse is straightforward.
