Hi, I am experiementing with SyncAdatpers and have a few questions that I could not find answers either in the documentation or this group yet.
- How to monitor the status of sync after requesting it via ContentResolver.requestSync? For example, I need to refresh the UI when the requested sync finishes. The javadoc of the method talks about "SyncObserver" which does not actually exist. The ContentResolver.addSyncStatusListener method seems not useful since it notifies SyncStatusObserver when the sync status of any SyncAdapter changes, not the particular sync identified by an account+authority combination. The current method I use is to spawn a thread which checks the result of ContentResolver.isSyncActive/ isSyncPending continuously. But it's quick and dirty solution. I guess one could also extends AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter and write a new binder but it seems overkill. I assume there are better solutions? - How to check if a SyncAdatper is CHECKED in the "Accounts & Sync" settings? ContentResolver.getIsSyncable only checks if a SyncAdapter is available for a given account. It will always return true no matter if that checkbox is checked or not, as long as the checkbox exists in the settings. - The sync icon on the status bar seems only visible when calling requestSync with SYNC_EXTRAS_MANUAL set to true. Without that extra, a sync would be succesfully requested and executed, but the icon does not appear at all. Is this by design? And why?
