| 9 | <p>By providing powerful APIs for internet connectivity, the Android framework |
| 10 | helps you build rich cloud-enabled apps that sync their data to a remote web |
| 11 | service, making sure all your devices always stay in sync, and your valuable |
| 12 | data is always backed up to the cloud.</p> |
| 13 | |
| 14 | <p>This class covers different strategies for cloud enabled applications. It |
| 15 | covers syncing data with the cloud using your own back-end web application, and |
| 16 | backing up data using the cloud so that users can restore their data when |
| 17 | installing your application on a new device. |
