It would be very helpful if import/export operations could be conducted
from the Android command line.  This would allow automated contacts
synchronization from a desktop terminal over Wi-Fi (using ssh and rsync).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.exported vcf file, edited it
2.can't save a picture to a contact anymore. It let's me select but after 
clicking done it's not 
saved. 
3.tried rebooting, didn't help

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When I import vcards from my gmail contacts into my phone vcardio don't 
recognize the type of telephon number (Home, work, fax, ecc.) and put 
"Altro" on all numbers
2. I use the italian version of gmail that mark telephon numbers as "Casa, 
Ufficio, Cellulare, ecc." 
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect
00226655 Casa
00336688 Ufficio
22556699 Fax
And I get
00226655 Altro
00336688 Altro
22556699 Altro
So I can't distinguish Fax number from Office number

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.19 on Android Phone

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Import a VCF from kaddressbook 3.5.10
2. View any imported contact



What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Numbers should have the correct type set - according to what was exported /
what is set in the VCF-file.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

VCardIO: 0.11
KAdressbook: 3.5.10


Please provide any additional information below.

One entry in the vcf-file looks like this:

NOTE: There is a chance that this issue relates to issue #3: "Support vCard
version 3 natively"

Was thinking about an app for this functionality but after all it might be 
better to just integrate it into yours...

I attached a draft of the code needed to receive an sms and add it to the 
contact list. (correct the package name to the one of your project)

add this to your manifest:
<receiver android:name=".SMSReceiver" android:enabled="true">
  <intent-filter>
   <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
  </intent-filter>
</receiver>

and 

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />

Please add me as contributor if you integrate the provided code.

This would be an awesome feature. No one else is doing this! Not even
Google support this on their OS.

Feature request

it would be cool to have possibility to send vcards via sms to anybody in 
contact list and maybe it could also be possible to recieve vcard sms but 
i can not imagine how...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
open app in emulator
click back

This will allow the user to import a VCard downloaded from the net or stored 
anywhere in the system by just opening it.

http://www.mail-archive.com/android-
[email protected]/msg00413.html

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Import a vCard file containing contacts. Every contact has a unique X-
IRMC-LUID. Most contacts have one or two email addresses. Only one email 
address is the default/preferred one.
2. Import the same file once more.
3. For all the contacts that have one or two email addresses, these 
addresses appear twice in the contact details.

What is the expected output?
=> That all the attributes of an existing contact would be taken from the 
newly imported file. I would expect the import to do a full REPLACEMENT of 
existing contacts, and not an ADDITION (with duplication) of attributes.

What do you see instead?
=> See steps to reproduce, point 3.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
=> Version v0.27.sms running on Android 1.6 (HTC Tattoo).

Please provide any additional information below.
=> I have added a teplate vcf file in attachment, with fake contact data, 
but showing the fields and the syntax of the file I am generating for 
import into vCardIO.

try this vcard:

Several words should be in the name field, but I can see only the first 
one with "=" sign at the end.

0.27-sms
Android 1.6 Dev

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. From SonyEricsson C902, go to contacts, then Options, Others, Advanced,
Save on memory card (my menus are in french, so it can be different names)
2. Transfer the backup file (PB_Backup.vcf) to your android phone
3. Launch VCardIO, import this file

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Stop the import because of the error

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
VCardIO 0.8, Android CupCake 1.5 on HTC Magic

Please provide any additional information below.
I tried with only one vcard so I could determine the problem.
Here is the VCard :
BEGIN:VCARD

VERSION:2.1

N;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Jorgel;Agn=E8s

FN;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Agn=E8s Jorgel

TEL;CELL:0123456789
X-IRMC-LUID:0002000000FF

END:VCARD

The X-IRMC-LUID field isn't in the same format as the one from VCardIO and
it stop because of that.

The other problem come from the encoding where I lose the accents. It use
some sort of odd special characters (Normally it is : Agnès)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I have done the backup (444 contacts)
2. Import file contacts.vcf and finish without error, but only 303 contacts 
restored.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Nothing error

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
vcardio 0.11.apk on HTC MAGIC (1.5 Cupcake)

Please provide any additional information below.

Is there any way how to import more vcf files from a directory.
My Nokia backed up contact by contact in separate vcf file and I need to
import all of them. Selecting file by file is not really easy.

Any advice?

Jiri

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Export contacts with JF 1.51 mod

3. Import contacts

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The importing process get freezes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
tried with 0.27 and 0.32 version

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I have downloaded 0.19-sms to test issue 18 whit the scandinavian 
letters.
2. I have tryed to import my vsd file again and I have rememberd "replace 
existing contacts".
3. Then I got alle contacts twise in my phone.
4. I went into "Settings", "Applications", "Manage 
applications", "Contacts Storage", "Clear data".
5. Them my data gows from 1,2mb to 0.00b.
6. I try to import my vsd file again and now every contacts is there tree 
times. Even the first ove whit the wrong letters are there. I have now 
tryed this some times and every contact is there 7 times.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I did expected every contact only one time in my contacts, and not seven 
times like now.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.19-sms

Please provide any additional information below.
If I delete every contact from the default contact app. the when I import 
I get the contact only ones. If I then make a new import then the same 
contact will be there two times.

How do I fiks this, I have my contacts in my phonebook seven times, and 
its about 2000 entris now. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Export a contact with a photo
2. Inspect the exported file

Expected:
PHOTO;TYPE=JPEG;ENCODING=BASE64:

The lack of space causes KDE Kontact to discard the card as invalid. 
Adding a space manually in a text editor allows proper import of the photo.

Exporting and importing works fine, but I don't see any birthday notes when
exporting on my HTC Hero (Build 2.73.405.5).
I sort of needed this feature, a proper BDAY field would of course be even
better..

Fields such as Mobile, Work, Work fax are all tagged as "Other"

1.Exporting contacts from google contacts as Vcard 
2.Importing into a blanc contact book in android (always cleared prior 
import)
3. ALL Phone/mobile/fax fields are tagged as "Other"
4. Switched device language with same result, google contacts in english 
(if it makes any difference) 

Ver 0.11 on Android 1.1

As many HTC Dream/Android users in Spain and France cannot sync google 
contacts between gmail account and device (BTW Thanks to Orange and 
Telefonica) Therefore your application is the ONLY working solution found 
so far. It works so thanks for creating it, but this fields mapping issue 
is annoying. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start app and try to find version info
2. or: Start Preferences->Applications, search VCARDIO
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Show current versio, e.g. 0.32.
Instead the info under "preferences" says "version 8"

Hi there

I have seen that it is now possible to import an contact when receiving an
sms. Could you not make a function that can make a import on a lot of
contacts recieving by BT?

Just an idea

Regards, 
Nenad 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an entry with non-ASCII characters.
2. Export the entry using vcardio

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Output should be like this:
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
X-IRMC-LUID:c37dfc89-e338-4182-8f85-c7ab216db9a2
N;CHARSET=UTF-8:;いえ;;;

Basically, this is very cool tool. However, at one point, I'd like to say
something.

vCard 2.1 specification (http://www.imc.org/pdi/vcard-21.txt) says as follows:

> The default character set is ASCII. The default character set can be
overridden for an individual property value by using the "CHARSET" property
parameter.

Unfortunately vcardio (or the library it is using) seems not care i18n at
this point.
I believe this tool would become much better if this issue was fixed

The application starts in the background without any user interaction.
-> as highlighted by Taskiller, but VCard IO seems not to be active

The phone contacts were imported via VCard IO and a .vcf file that is still 
on the SD card.

On HTC Hero with Android 1.5 and HTC Sense(latest public version at this 
date).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Import my vcf file that I have exportet from my SE880I


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I cant see letters like "ÆØÅ", i get strange signs.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Select a group to export
2.Select file name to export to (or use default)
3.Select Export

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected the contact group to be exported to the indicated file.  Instead
the file was created, vcardio indicates "Importing vcards" (yes "importing"
when the export button is pushed).  The export completes very quickly (1 or
2 seconds) even for a large contact group.  The export file is created but
is empty (0 bytes in size).

Some people may not want to upload their contact info to Google. It would
be nice if there is an option where you can choose the Contract Type (i.e.
either 'Google' or 'Phone')

Thanks and keep up the good work. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open vcardio

I'm trying to untie my phone from google services, and if I could somehow
leverage this application to backup applications to an external server (via
http or webdav or something), that would be great.

However, in the meantime, I had a play with another application, MyBackup,
and it skips backing up all the contacts in my phone, because they're
registered as "google" contacts.  

I'm not actually syncing with google at all, so if I could use vcardio to
export the contacts, and then reimport them as phone contacts or sim
contacts or whatever, then maybe MyBackup would pick them up?  If that
would be possible to add as a preference, that would be awesome.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.exported vcf file, edited it
2.can't save a picture to a contact anymore. It let's me select but after 
clicking done it's not 
saved. 
3.tried rebooting, didn't help

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login into www.xing.com
2. Do a "mobile export" and download vcard file
3. import to G1 via vcardio
4. View contact

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
all phone details are displayed as "call other" instead of "call mobile",
"call work" and "call home".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
current version (no version given in application info. please add!). OS is

Please provide any additional information below.

First of all: Thanks for the great work! VCardIO is the only Android-App
that I could find that would allow me to import VCards without adding my
address book to Google Mail.

However, I'm using my address book on more than one devices (that would be
my mobile and my laptop for now), so I'd like to keep them in sync (still
without Google Mail). GroupDAV is an easy way to do this that is already
supported by many Desktop-PIM-Products.

So I was wondering: Would you be interested in adding GroupDAV-Sync-Support
to VCard IO? If you don't want to integrate GroupDAV support into VCard IO
directly, is there a way to access the phones contact database through
VCard IO?

I have previously tried to build such an App from scratch, but got stuck on
the vcard-parsing-part. Thus, I'd like to try and integrate the
GroupDAV-parts with VCard IO.

I'm envisioning the following:

1) Add Support for importing from/exporting to a GroupDAV share

2) Add Support for a 2-way-diff (take two VCards of the same object and
incorporate the changes in each into the other) - I have previous work on
this. The tricky part is mapping attributes between Android and VCards, but
you probably know this already.

So, what's your opinion on this?

As a one way automated copy feature, vcardio could autoimport all vcf 
files in a certain predefind directory on start (or better - 
periodically).

In conjuction with, for example, swiftp - ftp server, this could become a 
oneway autocopy solution for contacts.

Your Overview page says, "Currently supported fields are phones, contact 
methods and photos."

In my testing, I found that the v 2.1 ORG and NOTE fields are also 
supported for both import and export, which was a pleasant surprise.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
If someone sends CONTACT INFORMATION to me as a BUSINESS CARD, I should be
able to receive it on my android. NOTHING happens.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Android, HTC Magic.

Please provide any additional information below.
Please, please, please can someone come up with an app/version that enables
the android to receive business cards? (vcards). Even my 6 year old phone
can do that :(

I think it would be a good idea to work on some unit tests for testing the 
parsing of vcards. As you can see by the other issues here this is not 100% 
solid.
This might also require the code to be a bit more modular. I'm willing to 
work on this. We could then just ask the user what cards are failing and add 
them to the test.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Import a vcard file containing photos
2.  Photos do not show on the phone
3.  Export to a new vcard, photos are still there but the format doesn't comply 
with
RFC2426

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected:
PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=jpeg:/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/2wBDAAgGBgcGB

Got:
PHOTO;TYPE=JPEG;ENCODING=BASE64:
/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEB


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 0.8

Please provide any additional information below.

It would be great if the import of a .vcf batch would load to a given 
group in Android Contacts.  This would allow the user to segregate these 
contacts from others for display.  It also would allow user to use Android 
settings to control sync of this group to Gmail.

My primary use of this app would be to load ~600 private contacts that I 
do NOT want to sync with GMail, to comply with policy of my organization 
that forbids upload of its contact data to third-party servers.  This is 
the primary value your app would add for institutional/corporate users. 
(Otherwise, if I did want them synced to Gmail, the Gmail web interface is 
superior to this app.)
