     59 This sample demonstrates using SyncAdapter to fetch background
     60 data for an app. It covers the creation of the required Service
     61 that the OS uses to initiate the background data sync as well as
     62 scheduling syncs with background data.

     67 This sample demonstrates using SyncAdapter to fetch background data
     68 for an app. SyncAdapters can be used to execute your data transfer
     69 code at configurable intervals, while efficiently using battery and
     70 other system resources.
     71 
     72 This sample implements all the required elements of a sync adapter.
     73 - Creates a sync adapter class.
     74 - Creates a bound Service which the OS uses to initiate a sync.
     75 - Defines the sync adapter properties in an XML resource file.
     76 - Declares the bound Service in the app manifest.
