QR code to setup CALDAV/CARDDAV resources

[insilmaril]

I usually install same resources on variety of devices for the whole family. I would be really helpful, if some QR-code could be used to make setup easier (like sharing WLAN access points in Android). Half of this feature request would go to the providers of resources, of course, like nextCloud/ownCloud etc.

Thanks for the idea. I think that should work when DAVx5 would catch URLs like "caldavs://user:password@hostname/". Then this URL could be passed from a QR code scanner. What do you think about that?

[insilmaril]

Thanks, that could work. Does the davx5 team have connections to e.g. nextcloud to get support there?

[rfc2822]

You could generate the QR code by yourself – just generate a code for the caldavs:// URL.

I've created an internal issue for this now. We will try to implement this in one of the next versions.

Same idea / wish here !

You can already use QR codes with DAVx5. See here: https://manual.davx5.com/integration.html#implicit-intent
