hide duplicate events on the same day

[eric-jahn]

I have added third party calendars that contain the exact same event as one in my calendar (all details are the same). I would like matching events on the same day to be removed from the calendar that is not my main calendar, so I only see it once.

Which color shoud such event have?

It would be the color of the default calendar. Thanks Eric

1. Searching in the Internet shows that Android doesn't have a way to explicitly set any calendar as a default one. So, in order not to overcomplicate the task I would suggest showing attributes of the first event from the list, returned by a Calendar provider.
2. As nobody raised the problem so far I guess no additional option is needed: duplicated event may be hidden by default.

#155 Also mentions a need for the "Default calendar". Maybe we should introduce such at least inside our Widget?!

Oh, sorry, by "default", I meant the event calendar of the user that is currently logged in and whose calendar is being shown. If there are duplicates amongst other calendars that aren't the user's event calendar, those should just be displayed. What happens is that I invite coworkers to events, and we also share calendars. So, I'll create a single event, invite them, and see it repeated over and over. All I really wanted to see were unique events they had, so I can schedule them without conflicts. Eric

Will this ever be implemented?

Love the widget, would be almost perfect if you could hide duplicate events.

[yvolk]

Could anyone explain, how can I create such duplicated events (for testing purposes) having e.g. two Google accounts?
Otherwise I cannot reproduce the case properly...

[igoramadas]

I think "duplicate" here means:

1. Events with the exact same details (date, time, title and location). So to test, simply create an event on 2 different calendars having the exact same details.
2. Events that were accepted on multiple calendars. Create an event on calendar A, and invite user on calendar B to join, accept the invitation.

Implemented in v.3.1.0, please check here: #320
