CalDav Tasks lists only sync on account creation

Steps to reproduce:
- Have OpenTasks installed before DavDroid as per installation instructions
- Connect to an existing CalDav account.
- On account creation, DavDroid asks which Task Lists should be synchronised.
- Opening OpenTasks correctly show the Lists.
- Now create a List on your CalDav server.
- Going to DavDroid and hitting refresh doesn’t add the new list, nor is there an interface to add the list.
Suggestions:
- Allow a “Automatically add new Lists from the CalDav account” when creating accounts and check for new Lists automatically on sync.
Thanks for a great app!!!

WARNING: this is quite complicated and techie. You must fully understand what you’re doing. If accept, then read on. As some of us (users) already succeeded to sync with Google Contacts and Google Calendar, there is one serious limitation: one calendar per sync account. Though DAVx5 GUI doesn’t allow adding more calendars, low-level hack indeed is able to accomplish that. HOWTO: in the Android device use sqlite to access the services.db. You need root: sqlite /data/data/at.bitfire.davdroid/databases/services.db take a look at the contents: .dump find the calendar entry in the “collection” table (INSERT statement) change some fields to deal with another calendar: INSERT INTO “collection” VALUES(55,5,‘CALENDAR’,‘https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/********%40group.calendar.google.com/events/’,1,1,0,‘AnotherCal’,'AnotherCal’,NULL,'BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Google Inc//Google Calendar 70.9054//EN VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN X-WR-CALNAME:AnotherCal X-WR-TIMEZONE:Asia/Almaty BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Asia/Almaty X-LIC-LOCATION:Asia/Almaty BEGIN:STANDARD TZOFFSETFROM:+0600 TZOFFSETTO:+0600 TZNAME:+06 DTSTART:19700101T000000 END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR ',1,0,0,NULL,1); push this INSERT statement to sqlite restart DAVx5 Calendar ids obtained from that calendar Settings. Good luck! and be careful.

Thank you for the idea. I’ve added it to our already pretty long roadmap.

Hi, Thanks for your suggest. @olantrust said in Supporting Custom Fields that some Android apps create: Currently, Users using, for example, TruePhone, can add custom fields to their contacts. These do not seem to get to DavX or else are not passed over by DavX. Yes, DAVx⁵ can only synchronize fields it knows. a) represent Nextcloud fields such as Language, Relationship, Geo, Timezone, Deathdate etc (most of which are RFC standard) on the Android handset. b) sync the custom fields created in Android apps that allow it, so at the very least the data is retained in the vCard, if not displayed at the server end. I assume these properties are stored by the relevant apps in a custom way…? It would be possible to store such fields in the Contacts database, but with a proprietary (custom) MIME type. As I see it, the most difficult part is that DAVx⁵ only stores/retrieves the data, while the Contacts apps provide UI. So implementing this would require cooperating with Contacts apps. Do you know Contacts apps whose developers would be interested in that? Also, just for curiosity: What are your most needed additional fields and what is your use case for that?
