I have an android (non-game) app that I want to implement cloud backup for. I've looked at the Backup API but found it limited as the actual backup and restore backend processes are controlled by the phone manufacture and Google. I also want to allow the user to manually backup and restore when they want.
There is the new Google Play Games Saved Game service which offers what I'm looking for but my app is not a game.
Has anyone implemented the Saved Game service for a non-game app and can offer some advice on it's suitability? Otherwise, does anyone know whether Google will allow this approach (using the game service for non-game app)?
Thanks.
