Disroot has Contacts app enabled.

In this tutorial we'll see how to setup and use your Disroot Contacts on your Android device.

To setup it up and sync your contacts on an Android device you'll need to install the DAVx⁵ and Tasks apps first.

Tasks needs DAVx⁵ installed to work, but if you just want to sync your Calendar or Contacts then you don't need to have Tasks installed.


Install DAVx⁵

From appstore

DAVx⁵ is available on most app stores. We encourage you to use F-Droid.

From Nextcloud App

If you have the Nextcloud mobile app installed and linked to your Disroot cloud, you can install it from there:

  • Open Nextcloud Android App
  • Got to settings > "Sync calendar and contacts"

Nextcloud App will now fetch, install and configure your account automagically.

Add your Disroot account to DAVx⁵

If you haven't install DAVx⁵ via Nextcloud App you will have to manually setup an account. To do it, open the "DAVx⁵ app" and press the "plus" (+) button.

Select "Login with url and username", and put server address and credentials.

Server address: https://cloud.disroot.org
Username: your Disroot username
Password: your Disroot password

After setup your account, you'll need to select which calendars and addressbooks you want to sync from Disroot to your Android device.

Press the big orange button with the account name.

Contacts

Your Contacts should be available and synced with Disroot once you'd set your account up.

If you use multiple accounts, make sure selecting the account you want to save your contacts to when adding one.

If you want to use Disroot only, make sure disabling the other accounts. If you don't want to disable the other accounts but just to display Disroot contacts only, you can select your Disroot account on the "Contacts to display" option.

Note
If you want to migrate your Android contacts to your Disroot contacts and stop syncing with Google, then follow this tutorial.
