title: android sync/download framework
body: <p>I have to build an app that's supposed to ...</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>sync a lot of XML files with a SQLite database</li>
  <li>sync/download even more PDF files</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The lazy guy that I am, I looked for frameworks that provide some of these functionalities, so I could reduce the amount of code I'd have to produce for the before mentioned tasks, like batch downloads in separate threads.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately I didn't find anything helpful. Which leads me to my question ...</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody know a framework/library of some sort that I should have to look out for? </p>
  
  <p>I did take a look into <a href="http://www.openintents.org/en/libraries" rel="noreferrer">http://www.openintents.org/en/libraries</a> already, which was a waste of time :/</p>
