How to sync contact list with an account? #7

Closed petervnv closed 7 months ago

petervnv commented 7 months ago

Hi,

I am having a hard time understanding the purpose of contact lists as there doesn't seem to be much documentation on that function. I was expecting that adding a contacts list to an account via FlexiAPI would result in those contacts in that list being imported into that account in whatever client (iOS or Android) is being used but that doesn't seem to be the case. Am I misunderstanding the purpose of contacts lists? Is there any documentation I should be reading?

Thanks, Peter

Hi @petervnv,

For those contacts to be synced in the app, there is a "friend list uri" that has to be set in the config of the app. This URI is automatically set when you configure your account on the client by flashing the QR Code displayed in the account manager, but not if you simply connect using your credentials. Currently there is no UI setting to fill that URI manually.

Cheers,

Thanks for the quick explanation. Saved me hours of reading through the source code.

Hi again @Viish

I was able to get it working by adding the contacts-vcard-list parameter to linphonerc, thanks.

But I still have the problem that I can't select any of the contacts to use in a LIME chat. I opened a new ticket about that here.

Do you want me to generate new logs and only paste the messages part from Android studio since the logs I posted in that ticket are not easy to read because of the formatting?
