As part of the Android Open Source project I would like to share whatever I can of my code / experience with anyone. Mostly I think my code and experience in following basic books and traning, but I might have to sort out code myself.
I would collect these examples in under the tag above: Android Apps Programming Tips
My first entry is actually about the issue of using Google's backup-service. The documentation on this is week in my opinion. I still haven't sorted out how to take backup of a JSON file - I'll post it here if I find out...
Anyway - my first entry is about how to use Google Backup Service for Shared Preference. Direct link to this page is here: Preferences Backup to Google
