     28  * The interface through which an application interacts with the Android backup service to
     29  * request backup and restore operations.
     30  * Applications instantiate it using the constructor and issue calls through that instance.
     31  * <p>
     32  * When an application has made changes to data which should be backed up, a
     33  * call to {@link #dataChanged()} will notify the backup service. The system
     34  * will then schedule a backup operation to occur in the near future. Repeated
     35  * calls to {@link #dataChanged()} have no further effect until the backup
     36  * operation actually occurs.
     37  * <p>
     38  * A backup or restore operation for your application begins when the system launches the
     39  * {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgent} subclass you've declared in your manifest. See the
     40  * documentation for {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgent} for a detailed description
     41  * of how the operation then proceeds.
     42  * <p>
     43  * Several attributes affecting the operation of the backup and restore mechanism
     44  * can be set on the <code>
     45  * <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/application-element.html">&lt;application&gt;</a></code>
     46  * tag in your application's AndroidManifest.xml file.
