vcard

I have a download vCard (.vcf) link on a site. It works locally but not online. Just opens file in browser without downloading. I would rather not have to zip it. Read around and found I need to put this: AddType text/x-vcard .vcf in a .htaccess file. but it's still not working. Am I missing something? The site is hosted with godaddy. One old thread I read somewhere had a guy who made it work but no more info other than the .htaccess bit. As a first step, ask Godaddy whether they support AddType directives and if yes, how. That solution would definitely be preferable. Alternatively, you may be

Can anyone point me to a list of international postal / residential / delivery address format templates that use some kind of parseable standard vocabulary for address parts? The ideal list contains a country code then a format using replaceable tokens so I can substitute database address fields into a template to produce something printable in the local format. for example NZ | [first_name] [family_name]\n[company_name]\n[street_address]\n[city] [post_code]\n[country] AU | [first_name] [family_name]\n[company_name]\n[street_address]\n[city]\n[state] [post_code]\n[country] US | etc UK | etc

I'm trying to generate a VCard via PHP, and them email it out to the user. I wrote an initial script with hard-coded data, but the end-result will fill in the VCard from MySQL. When viewing the VCard side-by-side with a legitimate VCard (downloaded and tested from another site) they look pretty much identical, but when I try and import my generated VCard it shows up with no data. Actually, if I open it on my phone, it doesn't even recognize that it is a vcard, and instead just sends me to a broken Google Doc. I've borrowed some code from wikipedia for formatting the vcard, and everything seems

I use Intent.ACTION_SEND for receiving data in my app. How can I process sending of data type text/x-vcard ? When I use intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT) , it's throws an exception. This worked for me: Uri uri = (Uri) intent.getExtras().get(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM); uri.toString() gave me this: content://com.android.contacts/contacts/as_multi_vcard/2876r7-2A962A902A9045494F35.1957ifcf79ef7e82a0b99%3A2876r8-315551534945354F312D4F35.1957ieb4f1a6b0fcb82b9%3A2876r9-57493D3135452D3D43.1957ief585d48b64784c0%3A2876r10-4F35373D4343474959.1957if0a70009608fae23%3A2876r11-313B3531412F2D432D473135

i'm wondering if there's a clean way to import a vcard as an android contact. i have a vcard parser, but mapping each possible vcard field and field type is going to be a painful, bug-prone exercise. is there a better way? an android contact looks suspiciously like a vcard, so i suspect they use vcards internally. there's no public API for this however. an android contact looks suspiciously like a vcard, so i suspect they use vcards internally. I think it's a lot more complicated than using 'vCards internally' especially as vCard is effectively just a text file format making it inefficient to

I need a java library to read vcard files (vcf). A search for Java and vcard yields quite a few results. In particular there's the Mime-Dir-j which is no longer under active development, but may be all you need, and vcard4j which seems to have been dormant for even longer (last release 2003!). ez-vcard supports versions 2.1, 3.0, and 4.0 of the vCard standard, as well as XML-encoded vCards ("xCard" standard), HTML-encoded vCards ("hCard" microformat), and JSON-encoded vCards ("jCard" standard). https://github.com/mangstadt/ez-vcard To read a vCard file, use the Ezvcard.parse() method. Then,

I'm trying to add a vCard from a web link to the user's contact list on Android 2.2. When I direct the user to .vcf file, all I get is text output in the mobile browser. I have confirmed that the files is being transferred with MIME type text/v-card. This seems like it should be pretty simple to do. Any ideas? Bernd AFAIK Android doesn't support vCard files out of the Box at least not until 2.2. You could use the app vCardIO to read vcf files from your SD card and save to you contacts. So you have to save them on your SD card in the first place and import them afterwards. vCardIO is also

I'm trying to create a QR code so that iPhone users can import my address book information. I'm doing this by: putting a VCF (vcard) file on my web server creating a QR image that contains this URL. http://markharrison.net/mh-vcf-small.png This is working on my desktop browser (it opens the vcard with the address book app). On the iPhone, the QR reader successfully tells safari to access the vcard, but then safari complains it does not know how to handle the vcard. I've confirmed that Content-Type: text/x-vcard is being sent. So, my questions: How do I get Safari to recognize my vcard? Is
