Hello Dmitri, I am learning about sync adapters and contact syncing.
But i am unable to understand this scenario: Suppose, I update/delete a contact from the native app and the relevant flag(Delete or Dirty) gets set, now how can i be sure that whenever my sync adapter runs, the flags were not reset by the google sync adapter(or any other adapter)? I have been banging my head since a few days now, but still cannot figure it out. I would be extremely grateful for your help.
