From version 4.1.0 on, the mySync client for Android includes a Content Provider which other apps can use to read some information about the user or the client. This page documents this feature. See developer.android.com for information about Content Providers

User information

Content URI: content://{application ID}.provider/user (for example: content://eu.mysync.android.dm.provider/user)

...

This content URI will provide a single row of information if the client has been provisioned. Otherwise it will be empty.

Provider columns

Column nameTypeDescription
accountIdStringUser account ID
deviceIdStringUser device ID
orgCodeStringOrganisation code
serverUrlStringServer URL
lastConnectionLongTimestamp (in milliseconds) of last successful server connection
