a87240c2270e83c3e865ffa1e56f79bfa74daffc 12-Feb-2010 Christopher Tate <ctate@google.com> Remove BACKUP_DATA permission and associated checks

Any package can now participate in backup/restore, without requiring any
manifest-declared permission. *Control* of the backup manager is still
guarded by the BACKUP permission, which is signatureOrSystem.

Packages that do not use android.permission.BACKUP_DATA will neither be backed
up nor restored. That permission is currently signature-only. In the future if
access to the backup/restore infrastructure is made available to arbitrary 3rd
party applications, the permission checks (and indeed, the permission itself)
can simply be removed.

181fafaf48208978b8ba2022683ffa78aaeddde1 14-May-2009 Christopher Tate <ctate@google.com> Retool the backup process to use a new 'BackupAgent' class

Backups will be handled by launching the application in a special
mode under which no activities or services will be started, only
the BackupAgent subclass named in the app's android:backupAgent
manifest property. This takes the place of the BackupService class
used earlier during development.

In the cases of *full* backup or restore, an application that does
not supply its own BackupAgent will be launched in a restricted
manner; in particular, it will be using the default Application
class rather than any manifest-declared one. This ensures that the
app is not running any code that may try to manipulate its data
while the backup system reads/writes its data set.
