Hello,
I bought and installed davx5 from Google Play, but now I mainly use Aurora Storie and in this repository I am notified of the update available but I cannot run it.
Is there a way to recover my Google payment so that I can use it with Aurora?
Or do I have to pay again?
Thank you. Regards.

@rfc2822 The reason why I first want to try out entering the IPv6 address directly is to avoid the switching from IPv4 to IPv6 (what is the preferred protocol for your okhttp implementation?) or IPv6 gateway mechanisms (4 to 6) behind the URL that I am using.

@devvv4ever As mentioned, I have a Dualstack Lite connection. That means that I cannot do a port forwarding for the IPv4 side of the connection as one public IPv4 is shared with several DSL lines. Only the IPv6 is a dedicated address. And there is no port forwarding on IPv6.
So, to address my NAS, I need to address it via IPv6.
I could follow your advice and do IPv6 DynDNS. But this only works with internet clients with an IPv6 address. Unfortunately, there are still DSL providers 2021 in Germany who still provide only an IPv4 address.
So, I need a protocol switcher for IPv4 sources to my NAS IPv6 destination. The easiest way is Synology Quickconnect.
I can resolve the A and AAAA record (via “dig”) of my quickconnect URL <quickconnectID>.de3.quickconnect.to to IP addresses. But how can I ensure that Davx5 deals with this correctly and also selects the IPv6 address instead of the IPv4 address?

@stephan-ritscher Thanks. So this fix will make it to the next release.

@cupcake I seriously love the dark mode. Infact, I am using the dark on mac, pc, laptop, mobile.

@rfc2822 Thank you very much for the quick reply, I already feared as much as privacy concerns were my main reason of using DavX5.

@memen45 Hi,

At the moment, this is not possible. Please follow up here: https://forums.bitfire.at/post/6487

If you have unsynchronized entries, you can always export them using a calendar/address book app and then import them again into the new account.

@at1429 I see. This is not an intended use case of DAVx⁵ and thus not supported by it. It would require completely other algorithms etc.

@phneutre Hi, yes this is the right place for everything - even for reporting possible bugs or issues 😉

However I just tried it and it works as expected. The sync will be scheduled immideately after you either change the value or remove the value. As long as the orange bar moving around above your calendar list the sync is running. When removing the value so that the “Past time event limit” option is empty you need to give the sync some time to complete, because it then needs to sync your all your events of all calendars - that can be a lot of data and the device needs to process it, too.

Hi @rfc2822,

thanks for providing your knowledge of RFC 5545.

Here’s another update on Notes scriptable export capabilities:
I learned that using the NotesCalendar.getEntries() method, I can get a more complete list of event fields, including RRULE. However, there is another shortcoming of this method that prevents ICSx5 from directly consuming the result:
Each entry I get is contained within its own VCALENDAR (probably to include VTIMEZONE), and there is no exposed interface to merge these entries.
A naive concatenation approach to get an ics file from that (that is mentioned at various places online) looks like this:
notes_ical_issue2.ics
Only the VEVENT in the last VCALENDAR is imported by ICSx5.

This is, however, a better starting point than readRange.
Using some dirty string processing, I was able to construct a Notes Agent that creates a file that works for ICSx5.

I’m putting it here for reference, but it needs some major improvements to be considered production ready. It is, however IMHO better than most of the examples out there that ignore the issues uncovered in this thread and pretend you can feed the concatenated output of getEntries() or that of readRange() directly to the client.
LotusNotes_ICS_Ical_Agent_ICSx5 (Java 1.5)

Thanks again for your support.
Kind regards, Chris

@awfm9 Does the VPN maybe block Android’s “Is Internet connected?” test? Does your device say that it has no connectivity?

@stefano-cossu said in Reminders for WebCal calendar imported from Outlook:

Hi, thank you for making this app available which allows me to see my Outlook work calendar on Android without obtrusive apps.

I am currently exporting my Outlook calendar to Nextcloud, which in turn exposes it as a read-only WebCal calendar, which I can import into my Android apps via ICSX. Quite a chain, but it’s the only way I have been able to make it work.

The only problem is that none of the event reminders seem to carry over. I am not sure which step of the chain is responsible for that, but if that were a limitation of the protocol or any of the other systems involved, is it possible to set up at least a default reminder for all the events?

Of course, if someone has a better advice on how to access Outlook calendars on Android, I’d be glad to know about it.

Thank you.

I have the same request, please add this features to next release.

@qwertfisch said in Synchronized calendar entries disappear after three months:

“It’s not a bug, it’s a feature” …

🙂

This was a bit hidden, and frankly I did not expect such a feature (as default).

It’s actually quite important for scaling. Calendars may have thousands or more events in the past (lets assume a calendar with 2 – 3 events/day * 365 days = 1000 events/day * 10 years = 10000 events), which shouldn’t be checked at every sync nor downloaded at all because in most cases, people won’t need it and it causes much traffic and potential problems.

Also it works not quite the way the setting in the app describes it: (translated by me from German)

Appointments older than 90 days in the past will be ignored

To ignore something means for me, not to do something with it. But DAVx⁵ does indeed virtually delete the local entries. This was not expected if I interpret the option as described
and was kind of misleading.

I agree that this wording is not exact. DAVx⁵ has (like CalDAV in general) a server-centric view, so it means that events older than 90 days on the server will be ignored and not downloaded.

@rfc2822 With re-installing I would loose calendars and contact lists which will cause some work (selecting which and how to display, filtering birthday lists, calendars for widget, … ) that I already did few days ago. And in this case I would have to do it even twice. So I would prefer waiting for the update.

Also I think I would loose real “test data” after initial sync and test with any other scenario is not worse.

Yea! I had always wondered what Yahoo meant about an application password. I created one, entered it in DAVx5 and it works perfectly. The instructions on your site are at…

Thanks so much for your help!

@rfc2822 Originally it was planned to disable LSA (less secure access) on February 15th 2021. Due to COVID-19 Google has suspended the LSA turn-off until further notice.

BTW, it might be worth to check how the developer of the FairEmail app has implemented Google OAuth2 authentication. It works like a charme once activated 😉

By the way, sorry about confusing RFC 2136 with dynamic DNS. I hadn’t checked the RFC, I just read the word “dynamic” and my mind went straight to DDNS. I should have searched for DNS updates and RFC 2136 before replying.

I experience a similar issue with several public Google calendars. However, it’s not unique to ICSx5, but happens on other clients too, including Mozilla Thunderbird and Mailfence. Basically, what I am observing is the following:

On adding the calendar, the client is generally able to fetch all events. But on subsequent tries to refresh, it fails.

A public Google calendar (https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/aikfotboll2019%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics) that I have subscribed to for several months sporadically fails with the infamous error “failed to connect to calendar.google.com …”. However, I have reason to believe that it occasionally succeeds, because there are events in my calendar that I don’t think were there at the time of subscribing.

An hour ago, I tried adding another public Google calendar (https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/sv.swedish%23holiday%40group.v.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics) to Thunderbird. Again, adding it succeeded, and events showed up as expected. However, it soon changed status to “The calendar … is momentarily not available” and has stayed that way since.

Just now, I’ve been trying to subscribe to several public calendars that are not hosted by Google, e.g. webcal://www.allsvenskan.se/prenumerera-pa-matcherna-i-din-kalender/aik.ics and https://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics. However, both of them fail the “Validating calendar resource…” step.

If my guess is correct that the background synchronization occasionally succeeds, I believe it would be an improvement to let the user add the calendar regardless of the outcome of the calendar resource validation. Perhaps a button “Add anyway” in the failure dialog. That way, the app would periodically retry fetching it for me in the background.

EDIT: Here’s some output from adb logcat '*:W' 'icsx5:V' when pulling to refresh in ICSx5 with a single calendar subscription:
