Question

I have a SyncAdapter that extends AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter.

I execute a timer task in onPerformSync method.

I want to check if the user turned off the Syncing so that I can stop the Timer Task.

I use ContentResolver.isSyncActive() method to check this issue.

the problem is that it always returns false.

so how can I check if Sync is turned on/off ??

Thanks

Answer 1

You want to call ContentResolver.getMasterSyncAutomatically().

That will give you the global setting, whereas getSyncAutomatically just checks whether an individual Account is enabled and isSyncActive simply tells you whether a sync is happening at the moment.
