Simon Redman 9c1d6e43ad Add contacts-reading plugin (KDE side)
Summary:
Add a plugin to KDE Connect which supports exporting the Android contacts databases to vcards on the desktop

When the devices are connected, the plugin sends a request for all timestamps and IDs

When a packet with timestamps and IDs is received, it verifies it has vcards for each ID and that the timestamps match and deletes any vcards for IDs which were not reported. It then sends a request for all vcards which were missing or need updating

When a packet with vcards is received they are unconditionally written to disk, possibly overwriting existing vcards

Provides one dbus method: contacts/synchronizeRemoteWithLocal which triggers the request for all timestamps and IDs

BUG: 367999

Test Plan:
Connect the device to the desktop and verify that vcards are created in QStandardPaths::GenericDataLocation / kpeoplevcard". On my system this is ~/.local/share/kpeoplevcard

Create a dummy contact on the device and verify it is synchronized (Currently not automatic, have to disconnect and reconnect or use dbus)

Modify the dummy contact and verify the modifications are synchronized (Currently not automatic, have to disconnect and reconnect or use dbus)

Delete the dummy contact and verify the deletion is synchronized (Currently not automatic, have to disconnect and reconnect or use dbus)

Writting a plugin for KDE Connect
=================================

For the desktop client (this project):
--------------------------------------

1. Enter the "plugins" directory.
2. Copy the "ping" under a different name ("findmyphone" in this example).
3. Add "add_subdirectory(findmyphone)" to CMakeLists.txt after the others "add_subdirectory".
1. Enter the new "findmyphone" directory.
5. Edit CMakeLists.txt by replacing "ping" with "findmyphone".
6. Rename other files in this directory by replacing "ping" with "findmyphone"
7. Write a description of your plugin into "README"
8. Edit findmyphoneplugin.cpp and findmyphoneplugin.h.
  A. Change license header.
  B. Replace (case sensitive) "ping" with "findmyphone", "PingPlugin" with "FindMyPhonePlugin" and "PING" with "FINDMYPHONE".
9. Edit kdeconnect_findmyphone.desktop file:
  A. Replace "ping" with "findmyphone".
  B. Change name, description, icon, author, email, version, website, license info.
  C. Remove all the translations
  D. Set X-KDEConnect-SupportedPacketType and X-KDEConnect-OutgoingPacketType to the packet type your plugin will receive
     and send, respectively. In this example this is "kdeconnect.findmyphone". Make sure that this matches what is defined in
     the findmyplugin.h file (in the line "#define PACKET_TYPE_..."), and also in Android.
10. Now you have an empty skeleton to implement your new plugin logic.

For Android (project kdeconnect-android):
-----------------------------------------

1. Change directory to src/org/kde/kdeconnect/Plugins.
2. Copy "PingPlugin" under a different name ("FindMyPhonePlugin" in this example).
1. Enter the new "FindMyPhonePlugin" directory.
4. Rename "PingPlugin.java" to "FindMyPhonePlugin.java"
5. Edit it. Replace (case sensitive) "Ping" with "FindMyPhone", "ping" with "findmyphone", "PING" with "FINDMYPHONE"
   and "plugin_ping" with "plugin_findmyphone".
6. Open res/values/strings.xml. Find and copy the lines "pref_plugin_ping_desc" and "pref_plugin_ping" replacing "ping"
   with "findmyphone" and edit the plugin name and description between <string> </string>).
7. Open src/org/kde/kdeconnect/Plugins/PluginFactory.java.
  A. Copy "import … PingPlugin" line with replacing "PingPlugin" with "FindMyPhonePlugin".
  B. Copy "PluginFactory.registerPlugin(PingPlugin.class);" line with replacing "PingPlugin" with "FindMyPhonePlugin".
8. Open src/org/kde/kdeconnect/NetworkPacket.java. Copy a "public final static String PACKET_TYPE_PING = …" line
   replacing "PING" with the packet type you will be using (should match the desktop client).
9. Now you have an empty skeleton to implement your new plugin logic.
