It’d be nice to have gnome contacts passed to waydroid (mainly for RCS support as chatty don’t have support and android messaging app could be used for that). Or if that is very complicated, may be pass the configuration details if we have webdav address book. May be this is an exotic idea, just thought of sharing this since I could not use the address book in calls/sms apps in waydroid. As much configuration we can pass through to waydroid, the better integrated feel we can get.
sharing contacts and vcards is a nice idea but hard to implement. it is something we have looked into in the past. that doesn’t include RCS tho. in my opinion, we need to implement an RCS client of our own (or a chatty libpurple compatible plugin for RCS). how we have to tackle this issue is still up for question.
