I don't believe you can rely on a sync request to be executed on

which means it may take a number of seconds before action is taken. Also, be

The OS governs the sync process. As for interval, there's periodic sync but
that's only as of 2.2. To work around that I ended up using alarm manager on
2.1 to request a sync at whichever interval.

To replace googles built-in facilities? Leveraging what google has baked

Found a quirk and wondering if I'm missing something. I have a View inside
of a RelativeLayout which has its background color set at runtime. I'm
finding in this case I need to set an explicit height otherwise the view
will not show. i.e. if I set the layout_height="fill_parent", it's not
visible.
I've noticed progress dialogs being wider (i.e. extra padding) but it's not
extending the width of the screen. (same size in portrait and landscape)
