You know, I just ran into this as well, I'm using IntelliJ IDEA and API
v17. I guess there might be a discrepancy in the documentation. There is
even another way to define the Sync Adapter settings, which is done in the
AndroidManifest.xml file. You take an Activity that defines the preferences
you want to allow the user to set (so, almost certainly your Settings
Activity) and you declare it to have this Intent Filter:
<intent-filter>
<action
> android:name="android.intent.action.MANAGE_NETWORK_USAGE"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
This tells the framework that this Activity allows the user to set network
usage, not to say that the user can't set other settings there as well. I
think you can see this when you go to the data usage page and select an
app, like Google+ or Gmail (as good examples). The "View app settings"
button launches the Activity that defines this Intent Filter.
