QR code failed. Is the data too large? #1

Hi,

I've just installed and tried to use this with my contact entry and got the above error. Instead of posting a 1 star review that's useless I thought I'd post here instead. Usually I use Share By QRCode to pass this contact on but this widget sounds perfect. Share By QRCode is able to display most of the details okay so it's not that there's too much data.

I would suggest an extra screen where you can pick the fields of your Contact Entry to be included. This way you can par down the data included until it works okay. For example there's 6-7 e-mail addresses in my Contact Entry that don't really need to be included in a vCard.

Cheers, Gold

Hi,

I really appreciate you giving more detailed feedback than just a 1 star review. Many thanks for that!

An extra screen that lets you pick what fields should be available in the vCard is on my TODO list, but I haven't had time to implement it yet. I'll be sure to let you know when that feature is available.

Do you know if Share By QRCode uses vCard or MECARD to format the contact data?

Using MECARD instead of vCard might be an option as well.

From what I've seen the meCard thing is more a UI for selecting which info to share, but it's still sent as a vCard. If so, I'd say it sounds fine. If meCard is a different data standard I'd be looking at how supported it is. vCard is fairly ubiquitous these days.
