Cancelled events showing as normal events

    When marking an event as cancelled on our caldav server (with thunderbird/ligthning), the event is still showed as active on the android device after a sync with davdroid.
    Is this a bug or a feature ?

    Hello,

    It sounds like a bug either in DAVdroid, or Android, or Thunderbird/Lightning, or the CalDAV server, but without logs and detailed debug information, I think there can’t be a qualified answer…

    Hello,

    Here is the snippet : https://gitlab.com/snippets/11420
    The cancelled event has got UUID 007932c2-ddf3-4ae6-a4fb-3cf3635d97c1.
    The cancelled event is downloaded lines 47233 to 47303 and added line 47756.

    Here are debug informations :

    I have verified that:

    1. DAVdroid (ical4android) sets Events.STATUS = STATUS_CANCELLED correctly,
    2. the event is shown as active in the calendar nevertheless (tested with Samsung SPlanner and Etar).

    So I’m a bit confused, as I don’t know what DAVdroid could do more than setting the correct Event.STATUS. I guess this is an Android bug. Or do you have any ideas?

    Another way of dealing this problem would be to simply delete events marked as cancelled.

    But then they would

    1. have to be deleted on the server, too (which I think is inacceptable), or
    2. will be downloaded (and immediately dismissed) on every synchronization, which doesn’t sound like a good solution, too.

    Maybe there’s just some flag missing, but I can’t see which one…
