Location of calendar settings storage on LineageOS 14.1 with Davdroid 1.11.4.1-ose?

unrel

Hi, here is the nearly automated the process of :

Listing of all (but the one attached to the gmail account-) calendars in a google account .
Entering them into Davdroid.

However one still needs to press the plus-symbol in Davdroid and hit <enter> after every calendar, so I think I can do better by just generating the settings data directly in excel, and transporting that data to the correct location on my (Android) phone.

Hence, I was curious if anyone could tell me where for example the "base-url" would be stored by Davdroid? (And/or if it is encrypted in storage).

Kind regards!

The detected services and their URLs can be found in the service database:
https://gitlab.com/bitfireAT/davdroid/blob/c0ff8f61f9e86955d5e6f0e6833477a779ee2973/app/src/main/java/at/bitfire/davdroid/model/ServiceDB.kt (you can see a dump of these data in DAVdroid debug info). You can write to this database directly, but of course wrong entries can cause erroneous behavior.
Other information like the URL of a specific calendar is stored in those calendar's sync fields, for instance NAME for the URL. See https://gitlab.com/bitfireAT/davdroid/blob/c0ff8f61f9e86955d5e6f0e6833477a779ee2973/app/src/main/java/at/bitfire/davdroid/resource/LocalCalendar.kt for more information.

Does that help?

@rfc2822 Wow thank you so much for your quick and elaborate response!

It helps a lot and it even made me aware of 2 critical notions:

Perhaps, even though I manually can add the entry of a calendar in the 1st file, there is a counter or non-activated reference to that "calendar" somewhere else.
The potential erroneous behaviour can work it's way back up into my actual calenders in the (google) server. Hence I should make a proper backup before engaging my attempts at a solution.

Thank you very much! If I am able to automatically add the calendars into the required files (before transfering those files {back} to the phone) I will Indicate it here. (Could be a few weeks.)

Kind regards!

Dear @rfc2822,

The calendar copy process linked in the above github, is now automated for Davdroid V2.x (requiring 1 click, still contains 2 bugs). Therefore I will not use the files anymore to copy the calendars to Davdroid.

Bug 1: The calendar attached to gmail is not copied.
Bug 2: The last calendar of the list contains an error in its link or description.
