Setting type for extended property

[Sachin Gupta]

Hello,

I am trying to set a extended property X-IMPP which can have the following types:

AIM/MSN/Yahoo etc.

IMPP class is defined in vcard but is valid for 3.0 or 4. I however need it for 2.1. Hence using X-IMPP.

Using vcard.addExtendedProperty("X-IMPP", "a...@a.com"); 

i am able to get X-IMPP in vcard, but how do i add the type in this?

I saw the link https://code.google.com/p/ez-vcard/wiki/ExtendedProperties, but it seems that ill have a create a new class to do so.

Is there another way to achieve this or new class or scribe class needs to be created?

Please advise.

Regards

You could create a scribe class which extends the IMPP scribe class.  Then, override the "getPropertyName" method to return "X-IMPP".  When writing the vCard, you'll also have to disable the "versionStrict" setting, since IMPP is not supported in vCard version 2.1:

public class XImppScribe extends ImppScribe {

  @Override

  public String getPropertyName() {

    return "X-IMPP";

  }

  public static void main(String args[]) throws Throwable {

    VCard vcard = new VCard();

    Impp impp = new Impp("a...@a.com");

    vcard.addImpp(impp);

    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();

    VCardWriter writer = new VCardWriter(sw, VCardVersion.V2_1);

    writer.registerScribe(new XImppScribe());

    writer.setVersionStrict(false);

    writer.write(vcard);

    System.out.println(sw);

  }

}

Regards,

Mike

Thanks Mike.

It works fine.

However, i am stuck at one issue:

I am using the following method to write the vCard:

Ezvcard.write(vcard).prodId(false).version(VCardVersion.V2_1).go(file);

How do i set the following?

    writer.registerScribe(new XImppScribe());

    writer.setVersionStrict(false);

Regards

I removed the previous lines and using these:

   VCardWriter writer = new VCardWriter(file);

   writer.setTargetVersion(VCardVersion.V2_1);

   writer.registerScribe(new XImppScribe());

   writer.setVersionStrict(false);

   writer.setAddProdId(false);    

   writer.write(vcard);

But even at the end, on validation, i am getting:

[Impp] | W02: Property is not supported in this vCard version.  Supported versions are: [3.0, 4.0]

Am i missing something here?

Same thing happening for X-ANNIVERSARY also.

Getting the warnings:

[Impp] | W02: Property is not supported in this vCard version.  Supported versions are: [3.0, 4.0]

[Anniversary] | W02: Property is not supported in this vCard version.  Supported versions are: [4.0]

There are methods for those settings in the Ezvcard class as well:

Ezvcard.write(vcard).prodId(false).version(VCardVersion.V2_1).versionStrict(true).register(new XImppScribe()).go(file);

That's because the "XImppScribe" class still uses the original "Impp" class, which supports only 3.0 and 4.0.  To get rid of this validation error, you would have to create a "XImppScribe" class that is an exact copy of "ImppScribe".  You'd also have to create a new property class, "XImpp", which would extend "Impp" and override the method that defines the supported vCard versions:

public class XImpp extends Impp {

  public XImpp(String protocol, String handle) {

  super(protocol, handle);

  }

  @Override

  public Set<VCardVersion> _supportedVersions() {

  return EnumSet.of(VCardVersion.V2_1);

  }

}

public class XImppScribe extends VCardPropertyScribe<XImpp> {

  public XImppScribe() {

  super(XImpp.class, "X-IMPP");

  }

  //the rest of the contents of the "ImppScribe" class

}
