File Formats for various sync devices

Various ((asdsad)) capable devices exchange data (adress, calendar, todo, notes) in various data formats. This page is designed to collect as many examples from as many devices as possible to allow for an implementation that can deal with any of these.

Synthesis ((asdsad)) client

The Synthesis (www.synthesis.ch) client can be used to sync Palm and various Windows Mobile PDAs.

Synthesis Tasks Example

END:VTODO

END:VCALENDAR

Notes:

  • Priority can be 1-5.
    • If a todo entry is marked as completed, its status becomes COMPLETED.
    • The client is quite picky about the version number: ensure it's VERSION:1.0.

Getting your device's file format

If you have been asked for the format that your device sends data in, you need to perform a sync of the kind of data in question. To get a dump of the device data, create an address entry (or an event, or ...) with all features (as many device fields filled in as possible). Then do a sync. Within /tmp/sync then do:


for a in *.wbxml; do wbxml2xml -m 1 -i 4 -o `basename $a .wbxml`_conv.xml $a; done 2>/dev/null

You need libwbxml (http://libwbxml.aymerick.com/) installed. Then you get _conv.xml data with the readable XML in it. Locate the "BEGIN:VCARD" or "BEGIN:VEVENT" part in the *client*_conv.xml files; then you can add the data to this collection.
