beginSynchronize

Sends a message to the Unwired Server to synchronize data between the client and the server. There are two different beginSynchronize APIs, one with no parameters that synchronizes all the groups, and one that takes a list of groups.

The synchronization completes in the background through an asynchronous message exchange with the server. If application code needs to know when the synchronization is complete, a callback handler that implements the onSynchronize method must be registered with the database class.

Syntax

public static void beginSynchronize(GenericList<SynchronizationGroup> sgs,
      Object context)

Parameters

synchronizationGroups – specifies a list of a list of SynchronizationGroup objects representing the groups to be synchronized. If omitted, begin synchronizing data for all groups.
Note: This parameter is not relevant for DOE packages; pass a null value to this parameter.
context – a reference string used when the server responds to the synchronization request. For more information on the onSynchronize callback handler method, see Callback Handlers in Developer Guide for Android.
uploadOnly – If true, the synchronization only uploads data; otherwise, the synchronization both uploads and downloads data.

Returns

None.

Examples

Synchronize Data between Client and Server – Synchronize data for SUP101DB for all synchronization groups.
```
SUP101DB.beginSynchronize(null, "my context");
```
