I have an application with a SyncAdapter. I've read tons of documentation and questions and answers on this and I've fixed a number of issues, but now I'm stuck at this point. We're using Xamarin, so my code is all C#. I created the StubContentProvider from https://developer.android.com/training/sync-adapters/creating-stub-provider.html, except in C#.
Here's my entire AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:installLocation="auto">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<application android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light">
<provider android:name="georgesmobile.android.backgroundservice.StubContentProvider" android:authorities="georgesmobile.android.backgroundservice.provider" android:syncable="true" />
<service android:name="georgesmobile.android.backgroundservice.SyncService" android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.content.SyncAdapter" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.content.SyncAdapter" android:resource="@xml/syncadapter" />
</service>
<service android:name="georgesmobile.android.backgroundservice.GenericAccountService">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.accounts.AccountAuthenticator" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.accounts.AccountAuthenticator" android:resource="@xml/authenticator" />
</service>
</application>
<receiver android:name="georgesmobile.android.backgroundservice.BootupReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SYNC_STATS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SYNC_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SYNC_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS" />
</manifest>
In my Resources\xml folder I have authenticator.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<account-authenticator
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:icon="@drawable/georgeslogo_icon"
android:smallIcon="@drawable/georgeslogo_icon"
android:label="@string/AppName"
android:accountType="georgesmobile"/>
and syncadapter.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<sync-adapter
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:contentAuthority="georgesmobile.android.backgroundservice.StubContentProvider"
android:accountType="georgesmobile"
android:userVisible="false"
android:supportsUploading="true"
android:allowParallelSyncs="false"
android:isAlwaysSyncable="true"/>
I'm actually trying to set up automatic syncing, but I also tried manually syncing. When I manually sync, I get the error Failed to find provider info for georgesmobile.android.backgroundservice.StubContentProvider
When I manually sync, my SyncService.OnBind() method gets called:
public override IBinder OnBind(Intent intent)
{
return _syncAdapter.SyncAdapterBinder;
}
and it is after returning from this call (at some point) that I get the error.
What did I miss?
