| ↳ | [android.content.SyncAdapterType](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/SyncAdapterType#) |
Value type that represents a SyncAdapterType. This object overrides[equals](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/SyncAdapterType#equals(kotlin.Any))and[hashCode](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/SyncAdapterType#hashCode()), making it suitable for use as the key of a[java.util.Map](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/util/Map.html#)

Descriptor bit used with[describeContents()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Parcelable.html#describeContents()): indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.

Flag for use with[writeToParcel](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Parcelable.html#writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel,%20kotlin.Int)): the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "`Parcelable someFunction()`", "`void someFunction(out Parcelable)`", or "`void someFunction(inout Parcelable)`". Some implementations may want to release resources at this point.

### SyncAdapterType
Added in[API level 5](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
SyncAdapterType(source: Parcel!)
```
### SyncAdapterType
Added in[API level 5](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
SyncAdapterType(
authority: String!,
accountType: String!,
userVisible: Boolean,

```
## Public methods
### allowParallelSyncs
Added in[API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
open fun allowParallelSyncs(): Boolean
```
| Return ||
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html) | True if this SyncAdapter supports syncing multiple accounts simultaneously. If false then the SyncManager will take care to only start one sync at a time using this SyncAdapter. |
### describeContents
Added in[API level 5](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
open fun describeContents(): Int
```
| Return ||
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html) | a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either`0`or[android.os.Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Parcelable.html#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR:kotlin.Int) |
### equals
Added in[API level 5](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
open fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean
```
Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
The`equals`method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:
- It is*reflexive* : for any non-null reference value`x`,`x.equals(x)`should return`true`.
- It is*symmetric* : for any non-null reference values`x`and`y`,`x.equals(y)`should return`true`if and only if`y.equals(x)`returns`true`.
- It is*transitive* : for any non-null reference values`x`,`y`, and`z`, if`x.equals(y)`returns`true`and`y.equals(z)`returns`true`, then`x.equals(z)`should return`true`.
- It is*consistent* : for any non-null reference values`x`and`y`, multiple invocations of`x.equals(y)`consistently return`true`or consistently return`false`, provided no information used in`equals`comparisons on the objects is modified.
- For any non-null reference value`x`,`x.equals(null)`should return`false`.
An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into*equivalence classes*; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.
| Parameters ||
|-------|---------------------------------------------|
| `obj` | the reference object with which to compare. |
| `o` | This value may be`null`. |
| Return ||
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html) | `true`if this object is the same as the obj argument;`false`otherwise. |
### getSettingsActivity
Added in[API level 14](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
open fun getSettingsActivity(): String!
```
| Return ||
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [String](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)! | The activity to use to invoke this SyncAdapter's settings activity. May be null. |
### hashCode

### isAlwaysSyncable
Added in[API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```

| Return ||
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html) | true if the SyncAdapter does not require initialization and if it is ok for the SyncAdapter to treat it as syncable automatically. |
