Sanitize the calendar data coming from Gadgetbridge?

Hello,

I am using the Rebble Agenda app and I noticed some weird artefacts (see attachment, event name redacted for privacy).

After further investigation, I saw that the artefacts actually come from the android.calendar.json file provided from Gadgetbridge.

Here is an example of an event with such artefacts:

{t:"calendar",id:85,type:0,timestamp:171­1371600,durationInSeconds:3600,title:"re­dacted",description:"-::~:~::~:~:~:~:~:~­:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~­:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~::~:~::-\nParticiper­ via Google\xA0Meet\xA0: https://meet.google.com/redacted\nOu composez le\xA0: (FR) redacted Cod...",location:"",calName:"redacted",c­olor:-6299161,allDay:false}

It looks like events that come from Google Workspace with a Google Meet invitation include some weird -::~:~::~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:­~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:­:~:~::- separators that completely mess up the UI.

Another event is difficult to read because it has HTML tags in it:

description:"<html-blob><u></u><u></u><u­></u><p><b>redacted &nbsp;</b>redacted</p><p><b><br></b></p>­<p><u><b>redacted&...

Would it be possible to "sanitize" this data coming from Gadgetbridge, maybe using a regex to remove HTML tags and separators?

It would subsequently fix all the apps that require the JSON file.

Thanks

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. It's something that would need to be done inside Gadgetbridge though.

I'll take a look and see how easy it is to get rid of stuff like that - however if Google change the format of invites then we'll probably have to change the regex again to try and strip them out.

Ok, I've just added some code, so tomorrow the Gadgetbridge nightlies should have the fix in.

I believe the HTML and :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~ should now be stripped out

Great, thanks. I will test tomorrow and report back.

So I added the Gadgetbridge nightly repo on F-Droid, but the BangleJS Gadgetbridge Nightly app says "updated 4 days ago".

Latest version is 0.79.1-banglejs-717bc3035 and it does not include your fix

I downloaded the APK directly from the website and it works! Thanks
