The interface through which an application interacts with the Android backup service to request backup and restore operations. Applications instantiate it using the constructor and issue calls through that instance.

When an application has made changes to data which should be backed up, a call to dataChanged() will notify the backup service. The system will then schedule a backup operation to occur in the near future. Repeated calls to dataChanged() have no further effect until the backup operation actually occurs.

A backup or restore operation for your application begins when the system launches the BackupAgent subclass you've declared in your manifest. See the documentation for BackupAgent for a detailed description of how the operation then proceeds.

Several attributes affecting the operation of the backup and restore mechanism can be set on the <application> tag in your application's AndroidManifest.xml file.

Params:
  • observer – The RestoreObserver to receive callbacks during the restore operation. This must not be null.
Deprecated:Applications shouldn't request a restore operation using this method. In Android P and later, this method is a no-op.

Restore the calling application from backup. The data will be restored from the current backup dataset if the application has stored data there, or from the dataset used during the last full device setup operation if the current backup dataset has no matching data. If no backup data exists for this application in either source, a non-zero value is returned.

If this method returns zero (meaning success), the OS attempts to retrieve a backed-up dataset from the remote transport, instantiate the application's backup agent, and pass the dataset to the agent's onRestore() method.

Unlike other restore operations, this method doesn't terminate the application after the restore. The application continues running to receive the RestoreObserver callbacks on the observer argument. Full backups use an Application base class while key-value backups use the application subclass declared in the AndroidManifest.xml <application> tag.

Returns:Zero on success; nonzero on error.
