I am trying to write a sync adapter with 'StubProvider' and 'StubAuthenticator', i followed the offical guidelines, my code is running without any errors but 'onPerformSync()' is NOT getting called, i tried everything but no use.
My full project can be downloaded from https://www.dropbox.com/s/48bgj3wweehaieu/MyApplication.zip?dl=0
Here are the classes I am using:
Class MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
    // Constants
    // The authority for the sync adapter's content provider
    public static final String AUTHORITY = "com.syncadaptertest.StubProvider";
    // An account type, in the form of a domain name
    public static final String ACCOUNT_TYPE = "com.syncadaptertest";
    // The account name
    public static final String ACCOUNT = "dummyaccount";
    // Instance fields
    Account mAccount;
    private ImageButton mRefreshBtn = null;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        mRefreshBtn = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.refreshBtn);
        mRefreshBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
        // Create the dummy account
        mAccount = CreateSyncAccount(this);
    }

        Account newAccount = new Account(ACCOUNT, ACCOUNT_TYPE);

        AccountManager accountManager = (AccountManager) context.getSystemService(ACCOUNT_SERVICE);
        /*

         * If successful, return the Account object, otherwise report an error.
         */
