Parsing contact notes

[ixengts]

There is not always a possibility to use custom events for a contact (for example my phone's default contact editor does not allow custom events; also my sync server does not want to sync such fields). As a workaround I have always used contact notes to store information about specific events (and it was more or less supported by EboBirthday). It would be great to implement parsing of the contact notes for entries like "event_name: event_date" (without "s), where the specific event names would need to be configurable from gui.

I don't think this is a good workaround for your problem. Have you tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.dmfs.android.contacteditorpp ?

Yes, I tried. But as far as I know it can't solve the issue of unsupported fields on the server (as it can't do field translation either). So I'm stuck with the contact notes workaround.

Ok I understand. Which server are you using that does not support that?
