Manually set per-account sync interval

[AutoImport-DemoFreak]

Hi, and thanks for this useful software.

It’d be nice to have an option to set a sync interval, or maybe to trigger sync after every completed edit.

What do you mean - edit on Android or server side?

On Android. Edit on Android -> (nearly) instant sync.

Edits on server side could only be detected by polling, if I understand correctly. Thus far I hit the “Sync now” menu entry after some time period (when I lose patient and it’d be nice if there were an option like “Sync/poll every x minutes”.

This is already done by Android, unless you disable Sync (for instance, by limiting syncs on mobile connections in the settings or energy-saving mode). Changes on your devices will be synced “immediately” = about 1 min after editing. It they are not, you have activated some kind of limit.

Edits on server side could only be detected by polling, if I understand correctly.

Indeed, or by keeping a always-on connection to the server (I think that’s how Apple has implemented iCloud sync to their OSX clients), but that’s not within the scope of DAVdroid.

For calendars, there’s a Refresh menu entry in the Calendar app that does exactly that by 1 click.

For address books, there’s no such thing in the default address book app, so it’s at the moment the only reason why you might sync using the Settings.
