I am configuring my event calendar widget to show the time colorfully with java format. I had done this before, but had to restore my device. When I enter the text n the suggested format, ('<font color="#E92EFB">'hh'</font>''<font color="#EF1588">':mm'</font>''<font color="#860A86">':ss'</font>), I get output with extra single quotes or apostrophes, as such 12':00':05

can anyone tell me where I went wrong?

If you haven't been able to figure this out, you might try removing where you have two single-quotes next to each other between the font tags:
('<font color="#E92EFB">'hh'</font><font color="#EF1588">':mm'</font><font color="#860A86">':ss'</font>)
