[android-developers] Using SyncAdapter without creating an account

My app allows people to use and manage their data regardless they're logged in. Though, as I uniquely identify each device, I want to sync data from my anonymous users (not logged ones) as well. So, I was wondering if it is a good practice to create an anonymous account in this case, since SyncAdapters only work with accounts.

Should I create an account for my anonymous users or should I sync their data with threads/AsyncTasks/Loaders? In particular, is there any way to make ContentResolver.requestSync() work without the need of an account?
