374972 - Refresh view when selecting "reload remote calendar" and auto-reload

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 389397

(Calendar :: Calendar Frontend, defect)

Description

[Philipp Kewisch [:Fallen][☁️📆]]

Providers that have canRefresh = false set, should have their items refreshed in the view when selecting "reload remote calendars" and on an auto-refresh. From the provider side, a call to getItems with the view range should be sufficient, maybe there is an existing way to do this directly in the view.

Providers with canRefresh = true should be able to take care of that step themselves.

This will enhance caldav,gdata and probably also wcap. Providers like ics/webdav  and storage/memory are not affected by this bug.

CalDav provider already has Bug 361520 for the same issue. 
Should this be morphed into a bug for Gdata provider? IMHO this is no view issue.

I think this should not be handled by each provider separately, since there is no smooth mechanism to do so. I have worked around this issue by misusing the refresh function, but daniel told me to not do that in bug 355117 comment 66.

Also I think its not too hard to implement. Stefan, if you know any good alternatives, I'm open for them. But otherwise I would like to keep this bug in the views.

IMO duplicate to bug 389397.
