| <p>By providing powerful APIs for internet connectivity, the Android framework | |
| helps you build rich cloud-enabled apps that sync their data to a remote web | |
| service, making sure all your devices always stay in sync, and your valuable | |
| data is always backed up to the cloud.</p> | |
| <p>This class covers different strategies for cloud enabled applications. It | |
| covers syncing data with the cloud using your own back-end web application, and | |
| backing up data using the cloud so that users can restore their data when | |
| installing your application on a new device. | |
