@rfc2822 said in Date types in CardDAV contacts:

Thanks for your suggestion! Syncing data with X-PROPERTIES should be possible and I think it would be a good feature.
Do you know what we have to add to contacts.xml?

From the Android docs, I would think that
<DataKind kind="event" dateWithTime="false" > <Type maxOccurs="1" type="birthday" yearOptional="true" /> <Type maxOccurs="1" type="anniversary" yearOptional="true" /> </DataKind>
should change to
<DataKind kind="event" dateWithTime="false" > <Type maxOccurs="1" type="birthday" yearOptional="true" /> <Type type="anniversary" yearOptional="true" /> <Type type="other" yearOptional="true" /> <Type type="custom" yearOptional="true" /> </DataKind>
I’m not completely sure about the custom type. All of these are Android standard, so I’m somewhat surprised they even need to be specified to show up. (BTW: google contacts use all of them, that’s a good way to check and compare.)

What do you suggest how these dates (OTHER and CUSTOM) should be represented in the vCard?

I did not see these among other users of x properties (mozilla, evolution etc.). So X-DAVX5-EVENTOTHER and X-DAVX5-EVENTCUSTOM may be it. The content format would be the same as for the other two types.

Now for the label for the custom type, if we follow what the mozilla addressbook does: For a custom event like 2021-01-17 derive an item id (maybe 2020117) and specify a label FirstShow in vcard as X-DAVX5-EVENTCUSTOM-20210117.LABEL:FirstShow. Maybe the id should be derived differently to allow different entries for the same day. (And maybe the label for an x property needs to be X-EVENTLABEL or such).

Side note: There is a DEATHDATE in RFC 6474 which is not accepted yet. With aCalender+ and carddav-sync I noticed the following: if I enter a custom event with label Todestag then it shows up in aCalendars’s event list with a special icon. I have no clue who in the chain (carddav-sync provider, Android, aCalendar) recognizes that localized custom label. I don’t think the sync provider is involved. So, even without syncing (but with a different contacts.xml) this could work, too.

I’m unable to configure an OwnCloud sync account. After entering my credentials, I get the following error:

HTTP: Forbidden

I checked the credentials multiple times and I’m positive I haven’t mistyped it. On the server side I also don’t get any 403 errors, but only 207. So I don’t understand where this forbidden is coming from. I also tested the demo.owncloud.org and it works fine.
If it matters anything: I’m using LDAP as authentication method on OwnCloud.
I’m using the latest davdroid from F-Droid (0.3.3-alpha).

Forget about my issue : I was tired last night
I had imported the VCF first in thunderbird because I didn’t know yet I could do it in davdroid…
So it was the sogo connector that didn’t import correctly the VCF, not davdroid. I imported the VCF directly form davdroid and it’s OK. Great job and sorry for the noise

Great!

We’ve never used bitcoin before but why not try and get into it just now… I’ve added the possibility to donate via bitcoin to the website (http://davdroid.bitfire.at) at the bottom of the page. If you still want to donate use the key or QR code there!

Thanks in advance!

I have added support for birthdays with commit 6ee010905e172164b865c0e9c0576d92d1ae7906, but I can’t test it because my Android 4.1 and lower devices don’t show the birthday anyways. Closing this as duplicate of issue #5, please post there.

Generally, it’s possible to sync all properties listed here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/CalendarContract.html
But it depends on the Android version, and often its not possible to translate the Android values 1:1 to vCard values.

Should be fixed with commit 329ab80e62e87867cbdd25da4ba75fb5117da050 (disable strict parsing instead of adding the lang attribute, because we don’t use it and there might be other unknown properties)

@rfc2822 I’ve read this part of the configuration instructions, but perhaps it’s the way I import the certificate that’s wrong ? Here how I do :
I display my site on https, Firefox warns me the certificate is unknown, I display the certificate and export it in DER format, with an CER extension. Then I install this file in the security/parameters of android, which tells me the certificate is installed.
Then I try to see my certificate in the user tab, but… nothing (I haven’t verified before…).

Edit : I’ve created a new certificate following the link https://wiki.debian.org/Self-Signed_Certificate (that’s not that way I created the former one…), but… THANKS !!! It’s ok now

I understand that this feature would be nice to have. However, it’s not the core functionality of DAVdroid and should (and could) be done by another app, so I’m closing thix.

PS: Maybe there are already such apps available

Hello, I think it’s not ready for Fdroid yet but it will soon be. Also, it’s some work to create the Fdroid build files and I didn’t find time for that yet. However I intend to put the app onto Fdroid as soon as it’s ready. Some tests need to be done yet.

Thanks for the hint. The Web site is not ready yet but we will surely add donation buttons.

Done, thanks
