Welcome to the User's Guide to the SyncBuilder framework! This manual will provide you with anything you need to develop your very own synchronization application.
The SyncBuilder framework allows you to develop Java applications that can connect with Palm devices. It works independently from Palm Computing, Inc.īs HotSync technology and is not bound to a specific platform (some functionality currently requires a Unix- System such as LINUX).
Its functionality includes the ability to read and write records from/to the Palm device, and to query information on the Palm device. It also offers special support for the built-in applications (Calendar, To-Do, Address book, Mail, Expenses, MemoPad). Finally, it can read and write .PDB and .PRC database files. It supports both the normal synchronization through a serial cable as well as the synchronization over TCP/IP (Network HotSync technology). Synchronization directly through a modem is currently not supported (use the Network HotSync software instead).
The libraries which make up the SyncBuilder framework are under the LGPL, which makes it possible to use them in both free and commercial projects with full source-code and at no charge!
