<p>Users often invest significant time and effort creating data and setting
|
|
preferences within apps. Preserving that data for users if they replace a broken
|
|
device or upgrade to a new one is an important part of ensuring a great user
|
|
experience.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This class covers techniques for backing up data to the cloud so that
|
|
users can restore their data when recovering from a data loss (such as a factory
|
|
reset) or installing your application on a new device.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is important to note that the API for cloud backup changed with the
|
|
release of Android 6.0 (API level 23). For your app to support backup both
|
|
on devices running Android 6.0, and those running Android 5.1 (API level
|
|
22) and lower, you must implement both techniques that this class explains.</p>
