CalendarContract.EventsColumns.SYNC_DATA1 - SYNCDATA10 are said to be columns of the content provider for use with sync adapters. Does anybody know if there is some convention for what is the use of these columns? I've realized that on my device SYNC_DATA5 stores the date last modified and SYNC_DATA1 seems to store the Google event ID. So it seems whenever the Calendar app syncs with Google Calendar, these columns are modified.

However, if I choose to use one of these columns for my sync adapter, how can I make sure another application doesn't use the very same columns and they override each other?

If SYNC_DATA5 is ALWAYS used by Google Calendar to store the date last modified I would be fine with just using that for my sync logic, I just need to be certain that this is a convention.
