Sync Manager
Account

The Sync Manager API helps applications in scheduling their data sync operations.

Required Header

#include <sync_manager.h>

Overview

The Sync Manager provides APIs for managing the sync operations. Applications will call these APIs to schedule their sync operations. Sync Manager maintains sync requests from all the applications and invokes their respective callback methods to perform data synchronization operations.

Related Features

This API is related with the following features:

  • http://tizen.org/feature/account.sync
    It is recommended to use features in your application for reliability.
    You can check if a device supports the related features for this API by using System Information, and control your application's actions accordingly.
    To ensure your application is running only on devices with specific features, please define the features in your manifest file using the manifest editor in the SDK.
    More details on using features in your application can be found from Feature Element.
