How to change account name?

[Erwin]

Is there a way to change the name of a DavDroid account?

[rfc2822]

No. It’s impossible to rename accounts with Android <5.0, and for 5.0+ devices, it has not been implemented in DAVdroid (yet).

You can just delete the account and create a new one, which shouldn’t be that complicated.

[rfc2822]

Seems like it would be possible to rename the account on Android 5.0+, but existing local contacts/events can’t be moved.

At least the calendar provider prevents changing Events.account_name (only the provider itself may change it, and the provider doesn’t have a rename method).

[rfc2822]

Renaming accounts has been implemented (with some cuts) and will be available in the next DAVdroid version.
