Considering that AsyncTask(Loader) doesn’t seem to provide a mechanism to kill the thread directly, but only via stop points and isCancelled() polling, and that such stop points don’t provide immediate cancellation, I guess this won’t be implemented.
Feature request: Be more tolerant with slow/flaky server connections
-
I have configured ICSdroid to load four external calendars from the provider Posteo. Often (maybe once a week) I get lots of error messages, when the posteo server cannot be reached well. I would like to be able to ignore them (maybe just have them show up after a longer time of connection problems).

Thanks, I think better error notification management would of course be a good idea. Probably it would be enough to group the error messages so you can swipe all of them away with one gesture.
However, as far as I remember, it’s not so easy to implement that…
-
@rfc2822 Yes, grouping would already be an improvement. But maybe it’s easier to not show them at all, unless the server connection stays broken for a longer time. That’s what I would prefer.

Those notifications should disappear as soon as the next successful sync is run, which should happen a short time after an I/O error. Can you confirm that these messages go away by themselves?
Maybe we can change them to minimum priority notifications like in DAVdroid…
