CardDav (contacts) support

Thatoo

I found this old tutorial that add a

--template webdav

to the #Add remote database part but it didn't solve my issue

https://itectec.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-how-to-sync-contacts-and-the-calendar-on-ubuntu-touch-with-owncloud/

I have tried also to contribute to this script : https://github.com/UT-ilities/UTouch_CalDAV_and_CardDAV_synchronization
but it isn't working neither.

I have spent hours trying to make something working without success. Too bad... I'll wait for some good news to come then or some help on how to make such script working on UT 16.04 with nextcloud.

Hi everyone,

@mardy wrote in last september on Github that CardDav support could be available in OTA21. As we now all use OTA22, I guess that we are getting closer :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Good news is that the solution seems almost ready.

@mardy : Could you make any progress since that last message ?

I don't like creating zombie threads. But I would like to ask when to expect carddav support in UT? :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@x-dub It seems that we have never been so close :

Hi,

@mardy does not seem to connect to this forum anymore.

Does anyone has any news about the new address book app and CardDav support ? It was almost there in Xenial OTA 24 before its removal.

CardDav synchronisation would be a great feature with Focal !

Hi,

AFAIK no one have worked on it. I personally fixed some regressions here and there, but there is still the missing piece of contact synchronisation and i have no idea how to do that.
Hope @mardy or someone can push it back again soon

Mardy has a video from Youtube on his homepage of a song sung in Russian. I don't think we'll hear anything more from him any time soon. His FM radio app doesn't work on Focal either.

FYI i got carddav with new backend working on my device. Still early to celebrate though and with manual config only. Lots of testing and reverse engineering to do.

New backend, carddav with NC account: It works! ( still need UI fixes)

Got "generic Cerddav" working too, but for that one there is not any check and feedback when you create your account.
