How to get a vCard (.vcf file) into Android contacts from website

Question

I\'m trying to add a vCard from a web link to the user\'s contact list on Android 2.2. When I direct the user to .vcf file, all I get is text output in the mobile browser.

Answer 1

I had problems with importing a VERSION:4.0 vcard file on Android 7 (LineageOS) with the standard Contacts app.

Since this is on the top search hits for "android vcard format not supported", I just wanted to note that I was able to import them with the Simple Contacts app (Play or F-Droid).
