Hi, Mark. there seems to be documentation about using the SyncAdapter for this type of operation but that the implementation requires ContentProviders. Ideally, my app would be able to sync with the cloud on some basis, say hourly, the same way sugarsync does with my phone, table and laptop. Am I misunderstanding the role of the SyncAdapter?
