Feature Request -- polling (pulling) contact photos from other services

Some services don’t automatically pull contact photos from other services (gmail, yahoo, gravatar, etc). I’d like to suggest a feature where DavX could check if there’s a contact photo associated with an email address (from one of these other services), and pull it in.

Options could be given to “never overwrite existing pictures, or Overwrite existing pictures”

Hi,
I started to click together a proxy-settings UI for Davdroid supporting HTTP-proxies. But the HTTP proxy of Orbot does not support the HTTP requests we use (http://www.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~jch/software/polipo/manual/POST-and-PUT.html), therefore only HTTPS DAV servers will work, no HTTP ones!
So it would be nice, if you could state that in the FAQ:
https://davdroid.bitfire.at/faq/entry/using-with-tor

But I think the usecase
DavDroid --> TOR --> http://davserver_xyz.onion
is very much worth supporting, because of the extremely easy set up of a self-hosted server (there is no need to generate certificates, end-to-end encryption is seamlessly provided by tor…).

So I think we have three options here:
Add a SOCKS proxy configuration option to DavDroid Add a HTTP proxy configuration to DavDroid that supports the CONNECT tunnelling
(But this is a very indirect approach, it would be much nicer to go for 1) instead) drop this usecase entirely
I am very much in favour of 1) but what do you think (especially @rfc2822 )?

See you,
Richard

Knowing if this is going to be implemented would help me to decide deploy this app in my office, or search for alternative.

Thanks.

I had a look now and Android enforces EVENT_TIMEZONE to be set for new events except for sync adapters.

So while DAVx⁵ (which is a sync adapter) can technically insert events without EVENT_TIMEZONE, it is against the documentation:
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/calendar-provider#add-event

You must include an EVENT_TIMEZONE. To get a list of the system’s installed time zone IDs, use getAvailableIDs(). Note that this rule does not apply if you’re inserting an event through the INSERT Intent, described in Using an intent to insert an event—in that scenario, a default time zone is supplied.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/CalendarContract.Events

When inserting a new event the following fields must be included:
… eventTimezone …

Also, it will probably cause problems when Android calculates the recurrence sets, and most calendar apps will probably not support this (and may even crash), because according to the documentation, a time zone must be set.

Although I’d love to support floating times, it’s not possible in a stable and proper way with the current Android calendar provider. So DAVx⁵ will rewrite all floating times to the system default time zone.
