Store VCard string as Contact

Dear Tizen Geeks,

Hello.

I need to parse a vcard string to store in the Contact db as contact.

There is a native API for VCARD parsing.

I have implemented my code:

    const char *msg = "BEGIN:VCARD\nVERSION:3.0\nN;CHARSET=UTF-8:Hyman;Jeffrey;;;\nFN;CHARSET=UTF-8:Jeffrey Hyman\nTEL;TYPE=VOICE;PREF;CHARSET=UTF-8:123456789\nEMAIL;TYPE=WORK;PREF;CHARSET=UTF-8:user1@domain.com\nNICKNAME;CHARSET=UTF-8:joey ramone\nREV:2015-02-09T07:08:58Z\nEND:VCARD";
	INF("VCard : [%s]", msg);
	contacts_list_h list = NULL;
	contacts_error_e err = CONTACTS_ERROR_NONE;


err = contacts_connect();
	if(err != CONTACTS_ERROR_NONE)
		ERR("contacts_connect Error[ %s ]", get_error_msg_contact(err));
	err = contacts_vcard_parse_to_contacts(msg, &list);
	if( err != CONTACTS_ERROR_NONE)
		ERR("Error[ %s ]", get_error_msg_contact(err));

	contacts_list_destroy(list, true);

	err = contacts_disconnect();
	if(err != CONTACTS_ERROR_NONE)
		ERR("contact_disconnect() is failed(%x)", err);

 

The problem is, if I send different version's (except version 3.0) VCard string to contacts_vcard_parse_to_contacts API, the API can't parse it.

Any idea about this?

Your support is appreciated!

Thanks-

Hello

vCard APIs based on vCard v3.0 specification.

the APIs make vCard v3.0 and can parse vCard v2.1 and v3.0

What version of vCard did you send to contacts_vcard_parse_to_contacts API?

Hi,
Seems like you are trying to parse a given vCard Stream into a list, and store it into device Contact DB.
Please refer the following points.
 

It is not clear which error is returned from contacts_vcard_parse_to_contacts().

CONTACTS_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER or CONTACTS_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED are returned if vCard format is wrong.

If vCard format is correct, updating to latest Tizen version may solve this problem.

2. After you call contacts_vcard_parse_to_contacts(msg, &list), you need to use contacts_db_insert_records() to insert it into Contact DB.

int count = 0;
int *ids = NULL;
err = contacts_db_insert_records(list, &ids, &count);

Your modified code should look as below.

const char *msg = "BEGIN:VCARD\nVERSION:3.0\nN;CHARSET=UTF-8:Hyman;Jeffrey;;;\nFN;CHARSET=UTF-8:Jeffrey Hyman\nTEL;TYPE=VOICE;PREF;CHARSET=UTF-8:123456789\nEMAIL;TYPE=WORK;PREF;CHARSET=UTF-8:user1@domain.com\nNICKNAME;CHARSET=UTF-8:joey ramone\nREV:2015-02-09T07:08:58Z\nEND:VCARD";
INF("VCard : [%s]", msg);
contacts_list_h list = NULL;
contacts_error_e err = CONTACTS_ERROR_NONE;
err = contacts_connect();asd
if(err != CONTACTS_ERROR_NONE)
    ERR("contacts_connect Error[ %s ]", get_error_msg_contact(err));
err = contacts_vcard_parse_to_contacts(msg, &list);
if( err != CONTACTS_ERROR_NONE)
    ERR("Error[ %s ]", get_error_msg_contact(err));
// added code block start; insert contact into Contact DB
int count = 0;
int *ids = NULL;
err = contacts_db_insert_records(list, &ids, &count);
if( err != CONTACTS_ERROR_NONE)
    ERR("Error[ %s ]", get_error_msg_contact(err));
// added code block end
err = contacts_list_destroy(list, true);
if( err != CONTACTS_ERROR_NONE)
    ERR("Error[ %s ]", get_error_msg_contact(err));
err = contacts_disconnect();
if(err != CONTACTS_ERROR_NONE)
    ERR("contact_disconnect() is failed(%x)", err);

3. As Jongkyu Koo has mentioned, current vCard parsing is based on vCard version 3.0 specification.
It is backward compatible to ver. 2.1 as well.
 

4. In my test, I was able to import both vCard ver. 2.1 and 3.0 properly. But be noted that ver 4.0 is not properly supported.
I've used the below vCard ver. 2.1 sample.

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N;CHARSET=utf-8:周;宪
FN;CHARSET=utf-8:周宪

END:VCARD

If in your case, contacts_vcard_parse_to_contacts() is returning any error, please let us know the error value.
Also let us know the vCard ver. 2.1 stream that you used, which contacts_vcard_parse_to_contacts() API could not parse.
