> I'm calling as a sync adapter. Are you writing a sync adapter? If not, you shouldn't be doing that. The GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter can change the meaning of the sync_data columns at anytime so you can't rely on it. If you modify the events, the dirty bit won't be set and the "real" syncadapter own't notice the change.
And if you are, you shouldn't be syncing the calendar for account_type=com.google. > Is it possible that GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter does the update and sets the > DIRTY flag back to zero before it reaches my sync adapter? Yes, that's how it works.
