Android (Java)

Synchronization events are sent to the FHSyncListener instance you registered using syncClient.init. Each method of the listener is provided a non-null NotificationMessage parameter.

iOS (Objective-C)

Synchronization notifications are dispatched via the standard NSNotificationCenter facility. To start receiving kFHSyncStateChangedNotification notifications, register using the addObserver:selector:name:object: or addObserverForName:object:queue:usingBlock: methods of NSNotificationCenter.

iOS (Swift)

Synchronization notifications are dispatched via the standard NSNotificationCenter facility. To start receiving kFHSyncStateChangedNotification notifications, register using the addObserver(\_:selector:name:object:) or addObserverForName(\_:object:queue:usingBlock:) methods of NSNotificationCenter.

Android (Java)

The Activity lifecycle must be considered if your FHSyncListener references an Activity or Fragment. The pauseSync and resumeSync methods are created for this situation. There is also a destroy method which shuts down synchronization entirely.

iOS (Objective-C)

There is no startSync method in the iOS Synchronization API. Synchronization is started with the init method.

iOS (Swift)

There is no startSync method in the iOS Synchronization API. Synchronization is started with the init method.

 .NET (C#)

string datasetId = "tasks";

client.Start(datasetId);

JavaScript

var dataset_id = 'tasks';

$fh.sync.stopSync(dataset_id, function(){
console.log('sync loop stopped');
}, function(error){
console.log('failed to stop sync loop. Error : ' + error);
});

Android (Java)

The stop function will stop synchronizing a dataset but it will not remove the FHSyncListener attached to the FHSyncClient instance.

iOS (Objective-C)

// Unique Id for the dataset to manage.

#define DATA_ID @"tasks"

[syncClient stopWithDataId:DATA_ID];

iOS (Swift)

// Unique Id for the dataset to manage.
public let DATA_ID = "tasks"

syncClient.stopWithDataId(DATA_ID)

 .NET (C#)

string datasetId = "tasks";

client.Stop(datasetId);

JavaScript

var dataset_id = 'tasks';

$fh.sync.doSync(dataset_id, function(){
console.log('sync loop will run');
}, function(error){
console.log('failed to run sync loop. Error : ' + error);
});

Android (Java)

There is no doSync method in the Android SDK. Use forceSync instead.

iOS (Objective-C)

There is no doSync method in the iOS Synchronization API. Use forceSync instead.

iOS (Swift)

There is no doSync method in the iOS Synchronization API. Use forceSync instead.

NET (C#)

There is no doSync method in the Windows Synchronization API. Use ForceSync instead.

JavaScript

var dataset_id = 'tasks';

$fh.sync.forceSync(dataset_id, function(){
  console.log('sync loop will run');
}, function(error){
  console.log('failed to run sync loop. Error : ' + error);
});

Android (Java)

If a FHSyncClient has been "destroyed" with FHSyncClient.destroy(), you must call init again before calling forceSync. When synchronization is paused, a synchronization loop is still performed, but no listeners are attached and no events are fired.

iOS (Objective-C)

// Unique Id for the dataset to manage.

#define DATA_ID @"tasks"

[syncClient forceSync:DATA_ID];

iOS (Swift)

// Unique Id for the dataset to manage.
public let DATA_ID = "tasks"

syncClient.forceSync(DATA_ID)

 .NET (C#)

string datasetId = "tasks";

client.ForceSync(datasetId);
