Description
Hi,

I export from Nokia suite VCF files (near 200). The second step has been to put them into a folder of the smartphone (the flash card) using Air Android (can use too FTP).
The deadlock problem is that when I import to Android 4.0.3, I got a crash for some ones and I am no way to find a solution ,see farther.

At first import I could find the VCF file which had caused the crash, the cause was that the VCR was containing an image which seems not to be supported and the size of VCF was showing the differency.

As the import is not done alphabetically it not easy to find on which record the crash occurs.

I put away the image and the file had been imported.

But I could not go on farther and I have still a file or several ones which can and generates the crash, but which one I do not know.

I thought a moment that the crash was linked to encoding utf8 which is use for some imported VCF but it is not true because I have imported file with the encoding.

I tried to find common properties not treated file, no one, because the soft crashes on one into fifty, which one(s) generate or will generate a crash we don't know.

I repeat the treatment but I crashes again without new import.
Try to import file by file (or groups by dichotomy) can be a solution, but very long, it is a debugging step.

'''For a first step towards the solution''', I propose that an error treatment will avoid a full crash (stopping the soft) into the treatment of the VCF (because an error in syntax or a not supported feature of VCF is met). Then a message could tell which file and what has generated the problem (no more real crash).
Farther, the soft could skip the error or stop (classical option for all of such soft).
Farther : generate a log file ((ImportContact-(date)-nn.log) into the same directory as the source of VCF files.

For the moment I have near forty VCF that have not been imported and I can't unlock this, because I don't know what makes the soft crash.

Best regards

Thanks for the report.

You haven't said which version of Import Contacts you are using, so I assume it is 1.1 (please correct me if this is not the case). I should start by explaining that I have done a lot more work on Import Contacts but the new version has not yet been released because of a significant bug that I need to work around first.

I'll try to address the issues you mentioned:
  • Images are not (yet) supported. But in the next version they will not cause Import Cntacts to fail. They're just ignored.
  • UTF-8 is handled very badly for v3 vCards. This is massively improved in the next version.
  • Error is improved in the new version. But a proper crash means there is a bug. Unfortunately you would need to try this with the latest code to see if it's still an issue, since the actual importing has changed so much.
  • I have added the logfile idea to the TODO list.

  • This issue has been closed
  • The status has been updated, from New to Closed.
