3. Same events in multiple calendars are only displayed once

Same events in multiple calendars are only displayed once

  • A

    Hi.

    I use DAVdroid and SOGo with my colleagues.
    We noticed that same events in multiple calendars are only displayed once in Android.

    Example :
    I (Damien) have invited a colleague (Christian) to a "Test" event at 18 and he accepted it.
    My calendar is in black in SOGo, Chistian's calendar is in grey :
    sogo

    We have the same thing in Thunderbird (with SOGo connector/integrator) (Christian's calendar in blue) :
    thunderbird

    But on my Android phone (in S Planner app and also Google Calendar app), my "Test" event is not displayed :
    android
    Sometimes, after resync, the event is swapped : only my "Test" event is displayed and not Christian's event.

    It's a very simple event (no recursion, etc.), here is the ICS file (from my calendar) :

    I use Android 4.4.4 and DAVdroid 0.8.0.

    Hi Damien,

    DAVdroid is responsible for synchronizing. What's displayed on which device or calendar app is not being altered by DAVdroid in any way. DAVdroid gets the corresponding events from the server and stores it in Androids standard calendar storage. That's the point where DAVdroid finishes it's job. From there the calendar app accesses the events and displays them in the way they like. Below is an image that describes the play-together of the different components involved in the sync process!

    Is the event shown in the List view?

    The event is only displayed once in the List view (same view as Calendar view).

    The event is only displayed once in the List view (same view as Calendar view).

    What do you mean by "same view as the Calendar view"? I want to make sure that it's not a "rendering feature" of the calendar day view.

    Hi.
    Only one event is displayed in the List view (the same event displayed in Calendar view).
