  You can do an automatic refresh every 15 minutes, or you can do a refresh by hand. After a refresh everything is “up to date” if there is an internet connection. Or do I miss something? I guess in the future push notifications will be possible, like “imap idle”. I have heard it is already possible with Apple’s calendarserver and with Z-push. I don’t know about an official implementation in carddav.

  Feature Request: copy/move calender and contacts from one account to another

  Hello, For contacts: did you try Copy Contacts? I don’t know whether there are apps for moving calendar entries, but I guess so. You can also export all contacts/events and then import them again into the DAVdroid account (works at least for contacts, but I’m quite sure that there are calendar apps which support import/export). I understand the necessity of this feature, but it shouldn’t be implemented in DAVdroid, but in a third-party app, because it’s not related to DAVdroid (you might want to move events/contacts between other apps’ accounts, too) it’s not part of the CalDAV/CardDAV synchronization, and DAVdroid should be kept as simple as possible.

  Suggestion: changing carddav category/group options should resync all contacts

  @nicoco It also works to turn off the address book for synchronization (uncheck in DAVdroid account) force sync (will remove the local address book and all its contacts) check the addres book again force sync (will download all contacts again and apply the new group method) But you’re right, this could be done automatically (or at least show some hint what to do) when the group method is changed.

  @natanji Horde is known to reset VCard properties it does not know (see https://www.davdroid.com/tested-with/horde/#c111); maybe it shows the same behavior for events. Verbose logs would be needed to verify that.

  i’m using mostly shared calendars, so it would be nice to have an option to enable notifications about synced items. maybe even in a configurable verbosity e.g.: summary: added 3 items, deleted 1 item, modified 1 item detail: added: vacation from 2017-10-31 till 2017-11-05, meeting with $person on 2017-11-06, birthday of $person on 2017-12-12 deleted: BBQ on 2017-10-15 modified: party on 2017-10-13 so you know that/when other people modify the shared calendar. i’m not sure if it’s possible to detect which item a user clicked on in the notification, but there could be an action opening the clicked event in calendar. or just the first one.

  @herz_ag yes, thats possible with WebDAV I think. We’ve had a generalized WebDAV sync app in mind but right now we’re focusing on CalDAV/CardDAV (It is based on WebDAV but still very different). So it will not come in the near future Nevertheless the idea of such an app was in our minds for long time. So if not somebody else is making it maybe it will be a new app developed.

  This feature is not directly on our roadmap, but “Managed DAVdroid” (which basically will be a special version of DAVdroid for Businesses and Organizations – we’re currently in the final planning phase for this) will have the ability to be configured via a file. If a file is present DAVdroid will auto-detect this on startup and configure itself. We need such a mechanism so that DAVdroid can be mass-deployed (organizations basically need to be able to install apps on hundreds and thousands of devices without setting each one up separately). So maybe – at least to a certain extent – this feature will also come to the single-user license I’ll keep you up-to-date!

  I second this. The ability to hide an app’s icon is already found in apps such as Google’s keyboard. Getting rid of its icon would save precious screen real estate in my launcher.

  This has been implemented with davdroid/3b89410b. Multiple SSIDs can now be entered (using comma as separator). There is no escaping, so SSIDs containing , are not supported anymore.

  Thanks for response @rfc2822, But now I feel lika a sad panda… I feel that the settings for “Last synced” should match the text, which I cannot say it does when the sync fails. Will try to see If I can input a bug about this (But I do not expect anything to change…)

  Thanks for your suggestion. Beta versions are currently only distributed over Google Play, and at the moment, we only use Google Play’s method to describe changes (should be in Play Store at “What’s new”). Maybe there’s a link directly to this part of the Google Play page/activity, so that we could make a “See changes” button that opens this section? But I don’t think so

  @mikedlr said in Web Site Errors - where to submit / out of date: I can’t see a place to submit website corrections. It would be nice to have a link in the page footers. The forums are the right place for everything (that’s what they’re here for). Another link could be a good idea. How would you name it / where exactly would you place it? In https://davdroid.bitfire.at/faq/entry/cant-manage-groups-on-device/ Cyanogenmod doesn’t exist any more. Probably you want to recommend LineageOS - https://lineageos.org/ The page says it’s very important to get the setting right but doesn’t give any instructions to do so. These instructions are on the configuration pages, or you have to find the setting out yourself. DAVdroid can’t know which method your server uses. It depends on the server, not the phone. Thanks for your suggestions, I have updated the FAQ page.

  Hi, sorry I did not mention, but I found some solution that did exactly what I was missing. The app is called Syncer - the sync widget. I do not know which fancy things it is able to do and how well it works. Most important thing (and the only feature I ever tried): it provides a tasker/locale interface you can use to trigger the sync of any account. However it would be nice if this simple thing would be provided by tasker (or davdroid, I don’t know what would be the correct implementation) Regards, Arnschi

  I second this request, having the same use case as BigRed. Maybe a server side solution would be useful, but DAVdroid should offer a reminder filter, too. Nextcloud has an open issue for this: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/679

  Hm. You’re right, but I’m sure, I got an exception - maybe it was in another version of ezvcard. The vcard that is produced contains an empty BDAY. VERSION:3.0 PRODID:ez-vcard 0.10.2 BDAY: END:VCARD ``` I'm not sure, if an empty BDAY is allowed in rfc. Also the given birthday will be lost completely when using VCard 3.0.
