I've written a sync adapter which I scheduled to run every 6 hours but it synchronises every few minutes. Below is lines of code which enables sync and adds a periodic sync (period is in seconds)
ContentResolver.setIsSyncable(account, Table.AUTHORITY, 1); ContentResolver.setSyncAutomatically(account, Table.AUTHORITY, true); ContentResolver.addPeriodicSync(account, Table.AUTHORITY, new Bundle(), P.Defaults.DRIVE_SYNC_FREQUENCY); I tried few things after reading through tutorials and forum: 1. As per the tutorial on Android dev site I disabled sync on network trickle and just used addPeriodicSync but then the sync does not run at all Code: ContentResolver.setIsSyncable(account, Table.AUTHORITY, 1); ContentResolver.setSyncAutomatically(account, Table.AUTHORITY, false); ContentResolver.addPeriodicSync(account, Table.AUTHORITY, new Bundle(), P.Defaults.DRIVE_SYNC_FREQUENCY); 2. The period passed to addPeriodicSync was in milliseconds. This didn't work either, it still continued to sync very frequently. 3. ContentResolver.notifyChange - I'm passing false for the syncToNetwork parameter. 4. I checked the syncstats after the sync and the fields holding error count are all zero. 5. Set Syncstat.tooManyRetries = true. I understand the period between sync cannot be exactly 6 hours anything close to that is fine because syncing every few minutes is not acceptable for the category of application I'm developing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
