Hello,
My android application has a working mobilink synchronization, but is started only with a button click. I have to make my app synchronize in a period of time and I wonder what is the best approach to do this? Maybe a service with a running timer that calls the sync or it is better to try push notification.

MobiLink has several options for Server Initiated Synchronization (SIS) and for Android you can also use Google C2DM to push synchronizations.

Unlike the SQL Anywhere client for MobiLink (dbmlsync), UltraLite has no built-in feature for scheduled synchronization but it does have support for performing background synchronization.

So changes on the consolidated database could start synchronization via SIS or C2DM, and you could have your Android application initiate a synchronization for changes made by it. Then there would be no need for scheduled synchronizations.

FYI, some documentation may suggest otherwise but SIS is supported for Android.
