Affected app version

1.6.0

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

/e/OS 3.7.3 based on Android 15

Affected device model

Fairphone 6

How did you install the app?

F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. adb push contacts_20260527_224723.vcf /storage/self/primary/
2. Go to 'Settings'
3. Select 'Import contacts from a .vcf file'
4. Select the vcf
5. keep "target contacts source" as "DEVICE"
6. press OK

Expected behavior

The dialog should not remain after we select "OK", and the cast exception should not be there.

Actual behavior

After a few seconds of "Importing..." toast displayed on top of the dialog just validated, the toast goes away while the dialog remains, then if people just wait (which is not what most people do in front of a long wait, see below) the dialog disappears, we're back to the UI, and at some point we get a notification that contacts were imported.

During this import time we can see loads of errors like the one below logged, I assume their large number causes the slowdown, apparent lack of responsiveness, and lets the dialog possible to interact with during import:

(I'm pretty sorry the following description highlights quite a few bugs showing as a side effect of the above large delay, it would seem awkward to log them separately, I guess they all appear because that dialog was never intended to be interacted with more than once, and disabling its controls would be enough to avoid all of them)

During this long time, trying to understand what was going on, I successively did:

• press "OK" again, which triggers a new import (which is not necessarily understood as such initially, only while browsing, when seeing the multiple "DEVICE" lines denoting dups)
• press outside the dialog, after which we see a partial import (visible with only a few letters on the alphabet index on the right). But then after selecting all and deleting to prepare a new import attempt, I notice that more contacts arrived in the meantime
• press "cancel", which actually seems to stop the importing, but after deleting all the selectable records, I still see more of them actually appeared later
