/**
 * A convenient {@link BackupAgent} wrapper class that automatically manages
 * heterogeneous data sets within the backup data, each identified by a unique
 * key prefix.  When processing a backup or restore operation, the BackupAgentHelper
 * dispatches to one or more installed {@link BackupHelper} objects, each
 * of which is responsible for a defined subset of the data being processed.
 * <p>
 * An application will typically extend this class in its own
 * backup agent. Then, within the agent's {@link BackupAgent#onCreate() onCreate()}
 * method, it will call {@link #addHelper(String, BackupHelper) addHelper()} one or more times to
 * install the handlers for each kind of data it wishes to manage within its backups.
 * <p>
 * The Android framework currently provides two predefined {@link BackupHelper} classes:</p>
 * <ul><li>{@link FileBackupHelper} - Manages the backup and restore of entire files
 * within an application's data directory hierarchy.</li>
 * <li>{@link SharedPreferencesBackupHelper} - Manages the backup and restore of an
 * application's {@link android.content.SharedPreferences} data.</li></ul>
 * <p>
 * An application can also implement its own helper classes to work within the
 * {@link BackupAgentHelper} framework.  See the {@link BackupHelper} interface
 * documentation for details.
 *
