/**
- * Base class for creating AccountAuthenticators. This implements the IAccountAuthenticator
- * binder interface and also provides helper libraries to simplify the creation of
- * AccountAuthenticators.
+ * Abstract base class for creating AccountAuthenticators.
+ * In order to be an authenticator one must extend this class, provider implementations for the
+ * abstract methods and write a service that returns the result of {@link #getIBinder()}
+ * in the service's {@link android.app.Service#onBind(android.content.Intent)} when invoked
+ * with an intent with action {@link AccountManager#ACTION_AUTHENTICATOR_INTENT}. This service
+ * must specify the following intent filter and metadata tags in its AndroidManifest.xml file
+ * <pre>
+ * <intent-filter>
+ * <action android:name="android.accounts.AccountAuthenticator" />
+ * </intent-filter>
+ * <meta-data android:name="android.accounts.AccountAuthenticator"
+ * android:resource="@xml/authenticator" />
+ * </pre>
+ * The <code>android:resource</code> attribute must point to a resource that looks like:
+ * <pre>
+ * <account-authenticator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
+ * android:accountType="typeOfAuthenticator"
+ * android:icon="@drawable/icon"
+ * android:smallIcon="@drawable/miniIcon"
+ * android:label="@string/label"
+ * android:accountPreferences="@xml/account_preferences"
+ * />
+ * </pre>
+ * Replace the icons and labels with your own resources. The <code>android:accountType</code>
+ * attribute must be a string that uniquely identifies your authenticator and will be the same
+ * string that user will use when making calls on the {@link AccountManager} and it also
+ * corresponds to {@link Account#type} for your accounts. One user of the android:icon is the
+ * "Account & Sync" settings page and one user of the android:smallIcon is the Contact Application's
+ * tab panels.
+ * <p>
+ * The preferences attribute points to an PreferenceScreen xml hierarchy that contains
+ * a list of PreferenceScreens that can be invoked to manage the authenticator. An example is:
+ * <pre>
+ * <PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
+ * <PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/title_fmt" />
+ * <PreferenceScreen
+ * android:key="key1"
+ * android:title="@string/key1_action"
+ * android:summary="@string/key1_summary">
+ * <intent
+ * android:action="key1.ACTION"
+ * android:targetPackage="key1.package"
+ * android:targetClass="key1.class" />
+ * </PreferenceScreen>
+ * </PreferenceScreen>
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The standard pattern for implementing any of the abstract methods is the following:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li> If the supplied arguments are enough for the authenticator to fully satisfy the request
+ * then it will do so and return a {@link Bundle} that contains the results.
+ * <li> If the authenticator needs information from the user to satisfy the request then it
+ * will create an {@link Intent} to an activity that will prompt the user for the information
+ * and then carry out the request. This intent must be returned in a Bundle as key
+ * {@link AccountManager#KEY_INTENT}.
+ * <p>
+ * The activity needs to return the final result when it is complete so the Intent should contain
+ * the {@link AccountAuthenticatorResponse} as {@link AccountManager#KEY_ACCOUNT_MANAGER_RESPONSE}.
+ * The activity must then call {@link AccountAuthenticatorResponse#onResult} or
+ * {@link AccountAuthenticatorResponse#onError} when it is complete.
+ * </ul>
+ * <p>
+ * The following descriptions of each of the abstract authenticator methods will not describe the
+ * possible asynchronous nature of the request handling and will instead just describe the input
+ * parameters and the expected result.
+ * <p>
+ * When writing an activity to satisfy these requests one must pass in the AccountManagerResponse
+ * and return the result via that response when the activity finishes (or whenever else the
+ * activity author deems it is the correct time to respond).
+ * The {@link AccountAuthenticatorActivity} handles this, so one may wish to extend that when
+ * writing activities to handle these requests.
