SharedPreference committed in SyncAdapter not updated in Activity?

Question

I am changing and committing a SharedPreference in my SyncAdapter after successful sync, but I am not seeing the updated value when I access the preference in my Activity (rathe

Solution

Remove android:process=":sync" from the Service that you declared in your manifest!
