Events created in KOrganizer an hour off in Android (probably VTIMEZONE & DST related)
-
Fruux is the calendar hosting service in question. The process I’ve used to reproduce this is as follows:
- Create two new calendars in Fruux, “DAVdroid” and “KOrganizer”.
- Create an event in KOrganizer on 31st October (after DST will have ended, bringing the Europe/Dublin timezone from UTC+1 to UTC equivalent), for 3 to 4 PM; the event shows correctly in both KOrganizer and Fruux’s online calendar, but in Android shows as being from 2 to 3 PM.
- Create an event in Android with the same details (I use aCalendar+, however notice the same issue in Simple Calendar); the event shows correctly everywhere, including both KOrganizer and Fruux’s online calendar.
If trying to reproduce from another country/timezone the key point is to create an event across a daylight savings time switchover.
Here is the raw ICS version of the KOrganizer calendar:

X-FRUUX-URLfield from both events. The obvious difference is in the VTIMEZONE definition, but given Fruux also reads both correctly I’m unsure whether the issue lies in the libraries used by DAVdroid for parsing ICS or elsewhere?Any help appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks for your verbose report. However, I can’t reproduce this problem with the current DAVdroid version, Android 9.0 (plain emulator image) and Google Calendar 5.7 as calendar app, which shows your KOrganizer event like this:
Please provide steps to reproduce your DAVdroid debug info (DAVdroid / Settings / Debug info) which contains your DAVdroid version and other important information; and verbose DAVdroid logs while it downloads the event as described in [READ BEFORE POSTING] What’s required to diagnose a problem.

@rfc2822 apologies, I forgot to include version information. I’m running:
- DAVdroid 2.0.4-gplay
- KOrganizer 5.7.3
- Android 7.1.1
Although while checking that I’ve just realised that the Oreo 8.1 update has finally been released for my phone, so I’ll install that and check tonight too. I’ll also enable logging to an external file and get you that info in the process.
