Hi, at first my gitorious username is sassman
The issue of "figure out what features the server side app supports" is a general problem. So it is also neccessary to have a version number, to check if the (android-)client is combatible to the server application. To solve this issue it would be the best to have a own action/url on the server side that offers some informations to the client. Something like: version number, supported applications (contacts, calendar etc..), supported protocols etc. can make sense to me. So the next steps for me are: - take a closer look at the goole contacts api - figure out how the webdav lookup implementation (especial for contacts) in owncloud works maybe i have additional questions to these topics. but for now have big thanks for the nice welcome. -- Sven Am Mittwoch, 14.
