    <p>Encoding a vCard with N and ADR and decoding it with Barcode Scanner 4.3.2 on Android (ICS 4.0.4) and adding it as a contact works very poorly: separated fields (separation by semi-columns like this N:Last;First;;;) in name and address are not preserved. Also URL is converted to 'Note'. What is the reason <em>no</em> Qr code scanner in Android preserves this. BTW other QR scanners I tried (Qr Barcode, Qr Droid) behave even poorer: they don't respect TEL;WORK: TEL;MOBILE: ADR;WORK: (WORK replaced with home, etc).</p> <p>I can still suspect some strict format or version in vCard that makes QR decoder to contact stutter in Android but I doubt.</p> <p>For example I used goqr.me to encode this:</p> <pre><code>BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 FN:FN LN N:LN;FN TITLE:Title TEL;CELL:+33666 TEL;WORK;VOICE:+33999 TEL;HOME;VOICE:+33000 EMAIL;HOME;INTERNET:home@home EMAIL;WORK;INTERNET:work@work URL:http://my.not ADR:;;Street, Nb;City;;37000;Country ORG:organz END:VCARD </code></pre> <p>The result is acceptable on Barcode Scanner (though: no first name / last name separation and two space characters instead of one between them, no separations preserved in address and URL not decoded as such, but as a note). Forget about the other Android scanners mentioned above: all the inaccuracies already met with Barcod Scanner + wrong phone and address type, title ignored, url ignored...)</p> <p>Is there no way to improve this? Where is the limitation/bottleneck: API for adding contacts, QR address book format and decoding limitations?</p> <p>After many hours working and trying on ways to encode vCards in Qr Codes (just on Android) it seems to me this is conceptually half-baked. Did I miss something? Thank you.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
