Subscription to multi-contact resource / .ics but for contacts?

I am not aware of any standard way of doing this (there are programs that do multi-contact export in *.vcf), nor do I know whether this would be a topic for DAVdroid or ICSdroid.

Do you know of any way, to share multiple contacts via a (password-protected) URL, that can be synced to android contacts (obviuosly read-only)?

Application could be: export of centrally managed customer contact info’s, export of corporate mail directory, …

Enhancement request: Currently you have to enter the wifi network names you want to automatically use to sync with, manually. It would be nice to provide a checkbox dialog with all available networks to minimize the possibility of typos.

Yes, it’s a limitation of Android, which only provides one set of SyncColumns per event or per contact: this only supports one sync adapter per contacts list or per calendar. However at the server side there is no such limitation. Any authorised program can connect to the CardDAV or CalDAV server. So if your server is on your PC and you can find a PC program (or write one) which synchronises between the CardDAV server and your Google contacts list or between the CalDAV server and your Google calendar, you can get those synced up with your Android device. It looks as if Google’s calendar and contacts will now act as CalDAV and CardDAV servers, so an alternative option might be to use those as your server instead of your own PC if you were using that. If you have a PC application that also talks to your server, it should be able to talk to Google’s one as well.

You could probably combine everything like this: By default, only “password” is checked. Like that you can choose to either have no authentication at all (“password” is unselected), one of the two, or both (“password” as well as “client certificate” are selected). Depending on what is selected, you either show both password and certificate selection at the top (below whatever connection method is chosen), one of the two, or nothing at all (email or username/URL only). Maybe you could hide the entire lower part “Authenticate using” behind some “Advanced mode” button. Remains OAuth. I’m not sure about that, would have to read up on how it works first (what data is needed to connect).

Although there is not that single solution for all occurancies, most of the systems are able to handle custom fields. This should allow to add such a field to DAVx5 too. I think it would always be better to cover at least 70-80% of the systems instead of 0 %. I just had a look on it and checked how other systems are handling a death day field. Here are my findings: Nextcloud 15.0.2/Contacts 3.0.3 and ownCloud 10.0.10/Contacts 1.5.5 both handle the custom field Todestag in this way: BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 PRODID:-//Sabre//Sabre VObject 4.1.6//EN UID:2ba8a291-5cc9-4865-a9c4-4d053a0ab080 FN:Dean Death BDAY:19500101T000015 DEATHDATE:20181231T000000 END:VCARD Android 8.0 contact sync’ed using the ContactSync app shows the custom field Todestag correctly: Thunderbird 60.5.0/Cardbook add-on 33.9 shows the custom field label Todestag correctly: IOS 12.1 is also able to handle custom labels although the vcf syntax differs a bit: BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 PRODID:-//Apple Inc.//iPhone OS 12.1//EN N:Dean Death;;;; FN: Dean Death BDAY:1980-01-01 item1.X-ABDATE;type=pref:2000-04-30 item1.X-ABLabel:Todestag END:VCARD
