Question

I have implemented a sync adapter and I want to get a callback when it finishes in my activity. I have tried using ContentResolver.addStatusChangeListener, but I am only get

Answer 1

Strange, it does work for me.

In my Activity I have:

  @Override
  protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    ContentResolver.removeStatusChangeListener(mContentProviderHandle);
  }

  @Override
  protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    mContentProviderHandle = ContentResolver.addStatusChangeListener(
        ContentResolver.SYNC_OBSERVER_TYPE_ACTIVE, this);
  }

  @Override
  public void onStatusChanged(int which) {
    AccountManager accountManager = AccountManager.get(this);
    Account[] accounts = accountManager
        .getAccountsByType(AuthenticatorActivity.PARAM_ACCOUNT_TYPE);

    if (accounts.length <= 0) {
      return;
    }

    updateRefresh(ContentResolver.isSyncActive(accounts[0],
        MyContentProvider.AUTHORITY));
  }

  // Since onStatusChanged() is not called from the main thread
  // I need to update the ui in the ui-thread.
  private void updateRefresh(final boolean isSyncing) {
    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

      @Override
      public void run() {
        if (isSyncing) {
          mRefreshMenu.setActionView(R.layout.menu_item_refresh);
        } else {
          mRefreshMenu.setActionView(null);
        }
      }
    });
  }
