i'm making an app that has a syncAdapter.
i wish to be able to do a requestSync together with some parameters that will be sent via its bundle . the reason is that i wish to choose what the syncAdapter instance would do .
for some reason , both putSerializable and putIntArray causes the ContentResolver to throw an exception :
08-16 14:34:49.080: E/AndroidRuntime(10318): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unexpected value type: java.util.MiniEnumSet

...
why does it happen? is there a way to overcome this ? putting an integer worked fine yet those operations didn't.
am i doing something wrong ? is there a better way to achieve sending parameters to the syncAdapter from an activity ?
