In a previous post <../../../2015/10/24/calypso> I wrote about Calypso, a CalDAV/CardDAV/WebDAV server. At this post you find some tips to use DAVdroid with Calypso.

Note

To follow the tips you need Calypso running and DAVdroid installed on your smartphone. To install Calypso, follow this steps. And to install DAVdroid, check this page.

Gotta Import ‘Em All

Ran :

$ calypso.py --import private/YOUR_NAME your-vcard.vcf

only imported the first contact at your-vcard.vcf. I wrote a patch to fix this behaviour that is available at http://keithp.com/pipermail/calypso/2016-January/000089.html.

Add new contact

DAVdroid will only send your contacts to the server if you save them into a DAVdroid account.

  1. Go into “Contacts”.
  2. Select “Add new contact”.
  3. Select the “Save to …” option.
  4. Select the DAVdroid account.

Remove account

To remove one account:

  1. Go into “Settings”.
  2. Got into “Accounts”.
  3. Go into “All”.
  4. Go into “DAVdroid”.
  5. Select the account you want to remove.
  6. Select “More” options.
  7. Select “Remove account”.
