I haven't been able to find any documentation on Android's sync services, so far I just have the sources from the open source project which are a good start, but I am looking for architecture information, gotchas, etc.
Thanks.

There is an article related to the synchronization mechanism in Android.

That's a good start, at least to compare notes, thank you!

The article is a good start, but basically you have to go deep in the code yourself. At least, that was the only thing available in May 2009 when I did a research. Answer to your question also depends on what you need that synchronization mechanism for. For instance, if you are looking for a way to synchronize existing native content provider with remote location, you can not make much usage out of the existing API. However, if you are going to write a content provider on your own, and then use Android synchronization manager for it, you will be able to use it.

Yes, that's the direction I'm going, basically what I wanted is a way to validate my finding on the code. Thanks
