Hi Dianne,
Thanks, I should have posted this fragment as well, what about these
references:
<service
android:name=".authenticator.AuthenticationService"
<action
android:name="android.accounts.AccountAuthenticator" />
<action
android:name="android.content.SyncAdapter" />
these are service definitions, will the references to
android.accounts.* also just be ignored?
Thanks again, sample extract below:
from the sample:
<application
android:icon="@drawable/icon"
android:label="@string/label">
<!-- The authenticator service -->
<service
android:name=".authenticator.AuthenticationService"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.accounts.AccountAuthenticator" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.accounts.AccountAuthenticator"
android:resource="@xml/authenticator" />
</service>
<service
android:name=".syncadapter.SyncService"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.content.SyncAdapter" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.content.SyncAdapter"
android:resource="@xml/syncadapter" />
<meta-data
android:name="android.provider.CONTACTS_STRUCTURE"
android:resource="@xml/contacts" />
</service>
