/**
 * This example is intended to demonstrate a few approaches that an Android
 * application developer can take when implementing a
 * {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgent BackupAgent}.  This feature, added
 * to the Android platform with API version 8, allows the application to
 * back up its data to a device-provided storage location, transparently to
 * the user.  If the application is uninstalled and then reinstalled, or if
 * the user starts using a new Android device, the backed-up information
 * can be provided automatically when the application is reinstalled.
 *
 * <p>Participating in the backup/restore mechanism is simple.  The application
 * provides a class that extends {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgent}, and
 * overrides the two core callback methods
 * {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgent#onBackup(android.os.ParcelFileDescriptor, android.app.backup.BackupDataOutput, android.os.ParcelFileDescriptor) onBackup()}
 * and
 * {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgent#onRestore(android.app.backup.BackupDataInput, int, android.os.ParcelFileDescriptor) onRestore()}.
 * It also publishes the agent class to the operating system by naming the class
 * with the <code>android:backupAgent</code> attribute of the
 * <code>&lt;application&gt;</code> tag in the application's manifest.
 * When a backup or restore operation is performed, the application's agent class
 * is instantiated within the application's execution context and the corresponding
 * method invoked.  Please see the documentation on the
 * {@link android.app.backup.BackupAgent BackupAgent} class for details about the
 * data interchange between the agent and the backup mechanism.
 *
 * <p>This example application maintains a few pieces of simple data, and provides
 * three different sample agent implementations, each illustrating an alternative
 * approach.  The three sample agent classes are:
 *
 * <p><ol type="1">
 * <li>{@link ExampleAgent} - this agent backs up the application's data in a single
 *     record.  It illustrates the direct "by hand" processes of saving backup state for
 *     future reference, sending data to the backup transport, and reading it from a restore
 *     dataset.</li>
 * <li>{@link FileHelperExampleAgent} - this agent takes advantage of the suite of
 *     helper classes provided along with the core BackupAgent API.  By extending
 *     {@link android.app.backup.BackupHelperAgent} and using the targeted
 *     {link android.app.backup.FileBackupHelper FileBackupHelper} class, it achieves
 *     the same result as {@link ExampleAgent} - backing up the application's saved
 *     data file in a single chunk, and restoring it upon request -- in only a few lines
 *     of code.</li>
 * <li>{@link MultiRecordExampleAgent} - this agent stores each separate bit of data
 *     managed by the UI in separate records within the backup dataset.  It illustrates
 *     how an application's backup agent can do selective updates of only what information
 *     has changed since the last backup.</li></ol>
 *
 * <p>You can build the application to use any of these agent implementations simply by
 * changing the class name supplied in the <code>android:backupAgent</code> manifest
 * attribute to indicate the agent you wish to use.  <strong>Note:</strong> the backed-up
 * data and backup-state tracking of these agents are not compatible!  If you change which
 * agent the application uses, you should also wipe the backup state associated with
 * the application on your handset.  The 'bmgr' shell application on the device can
 * do this; simply run the following command from your desktop computer while attached
 * to the device via adb:
 *
 * <p><code>adb shell bmgr wipe com.example.android.backuprestore</code>
 *
 * <p>You can then install the new version of the application, and its next backup pass
 * will start over from scratch with the new agent.
