Which method can we use to set the sync type? I am really confused about it?
Before sync starts, do we need to make a HTTP connection manually? or SyncML creates it?

"i hope to synchronize contacts book from my terminal to a remote server. Do I need to send my contacts book to the remote server?"

I hope you will realise what a daft question that is - if you send the contacts book to the remote server doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of synchronisation?

What is the point of having SyncML which synchronises your contacts if you send the contact book to the remote server yourself?

What do you mean by write the data? The SyncML API has methods to set what type of sync you want (contacts, calendar, email etc.) and then to start the sync. If you set the sync to be contacts, add some contacts to the contacts db and then start the sync then if everything is configured they will sync.

Hello,

I am not still clear about syncML. When I read its API, i could not find the functions that writes the data.

for example, i hope to synchronize contacts book from my terminal to a remote server. Do I need to send my contacts book to the remote server? If not, how should I do?

One question: does syncML make a network connection automatically?
