libebook

[JM30]

Hi,

I need to parse a vcard and i'm using libebook/e-contact.h to do it. Now, my problem is to split the address field (or ADR in vcard).
I do it at this way:

GList* address_list;
char* street;

address_list = e_contact_get(contact, E_CONTACT_ADDRESS);
EContactAddress* addr = (EContactAddress*) address_list->data;
street = addr->street;

but it isn't work, it gives me a segmentation fault.

Can anyone help me.

best regards,
JM30

First of all, since this forum is about Qt. You can use Qt Mobility Contacts API.
The proper code have to look something like this

GList* address_list = e_contact_get(contact, E_CONTACT_ADDRESS);
for ( ; address_list; address_list = g_list_delete_link(address_list, address_list))
  EContactAddress* addr = (EContactAddress*)address_list->data;
  if (addr) {
    char* street = addr->street;
  }
}

Make sure that contact is really of a type EContact.

Thank you,

contact is a EContact, before that code i make:

char* user_data = "BEGIN:VCARD\nVERSION:2.1\nN:Guru2;;;;\nADR:;;Musterstrae1;;;;\nEND:VCARD";
EContact* contact = e_contact_new_from_vcard (user_data);

My problem is that i can't get de address, in this case "Musterstrae1".

Hi,
IIRC I faced the same problem some time ago.
Your app should segfault because it fails to cast address_list->data to EContactAddress*.
So calling addr->street is fatal!

It sounds like a bug in the Maemo5 ebook libs..

A workaround for this is to use the Versit cards.
You can get the ADDRESS attributes of a contact with:
GList* attrList = osso_abook_contact_get_attributes(eContact, EVC_ADR);

You could also get the parameter for each attribute (Maemo5 supports NULL/HOME/WORK).
as well as values.

Note that you can have multiple address with the same parameter (in Qt mobility Contexts).

If your app keeps to segfault, there could be other reasons like:
1) running the app in scratchbox without "run-standalone.sh"
2) running the app as root into the device... sometime it works but you cannot fetch any contact.

If you are working with Qt I suggest you to use Mobility (>= 1.0.0).
