Android Sync Adapter Service not calling onCreate

Question

I am having trouble getting the service started for Sync Adapter and Accounts. The framework doesn't call onCreate methods.

For Sync Adapter,

I have create following components:

1. Sync Service (class that extends Service)
2. Sync Adapter (class that extends AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter)
3. Sync_Adapter.xml
4. AuthenticatorService (class that extends Service)
5. Authenticator (extends AbstractAccountAuthenticator)
6. account_authenticator.xml

And updated the entry in the manifest.xml

And that's it.

I don't see any logs reported from onCreate from either services. Do I have to manually start them?

Please help.

Cheers, Raj

I recommend you first download and run the Sample SyncAdapter app from android team.
