DAVDroid starts Sync irregularly

It is expected that DAVDroid syncs every 24 hours and on local change

It seems DAVDroid has troubles determining whether there is an Internet connection and is not responsive to sync now.

What I discovered is that if you enter the Manage accounts menu and immediately exit, DAVDroid starts the sync.

Wzp?

DAVdroid does not determine whether there is an Internet connection. That’s all up to Android’s sync logic, which calls DAVdroid.

Did you have a look at FAQ: Why is synchronisation not triggered as set it in sync interval settings? Did you disable app standby for DAVdroid? Which Android version do you have? Which device do you have? Is there any additional information which could be useful for debugging?

Also, please provide steps to reproduce and debug info.

We have updated our FAQ page about contact groups because it seems that Android 8 has re-invented contact groups.

In the screenshots, you can see how contact groups look on
Google Contacts (default app) from Android 8 (SDK emulator) LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.1) on a Samsung Galaxy S2 Android 4.4 on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

DAVdroid supports
“real” contact groups (introduced in VCard 4, but back-ported to VCard3 with vendor-specific properties), where the group is stored in a separate VCard and contains a list of all its members, and contact CATEGORIES (available in VCard 3, the minimum VCard version that has to be supported by a CardDAV server), where each contact is tagged with “categories”, which then form the contact groups.
It’s important to choose the correct method (the one which is used by your server) when adding the DAVdroid account (see the Configuration pages; or you have to find out the method from the server manual or by trial).

Almost all group operations are supported in both modes:

At the end, it should be mentioned that Android (AOSP) has a bug that prevents contact group creation in the Contacts app for third-party contact providers like DAVdroid. We have created an AOSP bug report plus patch which allows creating groups for DAVdroid accounts. Unfortunately, our patch hasn’t even been looked at since Aug 6, 2014.

LineageOS and OmniROM have integrated the patch to improve group support for external sync adapters like DAVdroid. With LineageOS 14.1, all group operations work well.

@devvv4ever I’m currently using this feature to limit synchronization to the local network, otherwise I get a lot of certificate warnings from e.g. captive portals.

However, I can also VPN into my local network using some other network. I’d like DavDroid to synchronize in such situations as well. Is this doable?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for this report. However, I don’t know what to do with it. The error is a 500 Internal Server Error, and I don’t see anything wrong with the iCalendar data.

The expected behavior is to accept the iCalendar resource instead of sending 500 Internal Server Error. I could reproduce the problem for some files, but I don’t know why mailbox.org doesn’t accept these files. Maybe there are server log entries with further information.

Until there’s any hint that this problem could be related to DAVdroid, I can’t do anything for you. Please get back to mailbox.org / Open-Xchange.
