Cannot add contacts with the default app
-
In case it helps, same problem for me with Android 4.0.4 (CM9.1) - attempting to add a contact just shows “Phone-only, unsynced contact”.
There’s a likely-looking exception in the log just before - can’t copy/paste it right now, but “Problem reading XML for external package at bitfire.davdroid”, “com.android.contacts.model.AccountType$DefinitionException: vnd.android.cursor.item/name must be supported”
-
Are there any contacts editors in F-Droid that let us work around this? I just looked, and nothing looks promising, but if anyone else has found anything… Those without gapps might not be able to install Contact Editor Free.
-
Fixed with commit 5db8bcb9d81725443a7e5b3665d467d9b2ba407d, can you please test?
-
Has it been uploaded to F-Droid? I don’t think I can compile it from source.
-
For F-Droid, you can’t upload. It compiles from source as soon as a new version is tagged. I created the v0.3.4 git tag yesterday so it will be available soon.
-
It’s working! Except that it displays accounts that have no contact support (in my case the ownCloud CalDAV). Perhaps I’ll post another ticket later.
-
I still can’t see davdroid as a provider.
and it is not showing in contacts to display screen : http://pub.buntux.org/uploads/contacts_to_display.png.
it means you can’t just display contacts from davdroid.
davdroid contacts are shown when I select ‘All contacts’.
-
Please try to add the account again.
-
sorry, it works
was still in 0.3.3… (!)
-
Alright, with 0.3.4 I can now see and create davdroid contacts. However, If I edit them, I cannot add any fields, like phone number etc. I can only edit already present fields. For instance, if I create a contact named Test User, it is correctly synced. However, I cannot add a phone number to the already present contact Test User.
Finally, it seems that when adding a new syncronization account, it is automatically filtered, so to make the contacts visible, I have to disable the filter.
