Is CouchDbInstance.replicate() asynchronous?

[Matt Martin]

Experiment:

1. I add a new document to my remote database. 

2. I launch a new "ReplicateService" that replicates from the remote server using dbInstance.replicate(myCommand).

3. The "ReplicateService" completes and reports back to a handler that there were no changes to the local database.

4. The UI loads and does not show the new document I added.

5. I comment out the line that launches the ReplicateService, recompile, and relaunch my app.

6. The UI loads without launching a ReplicateService (commented out).

7. I observe through the UI that the document I added to the remote database is now present on my Android device from the previous replication.

Is CouchDbInstance.replicate() asynchronous and if so, how do I wait for it to return?

[Marty Schoch]

Yes, the replication commands are asynchronous. The official API
currently lacks any good way to monitor the progress. See this
thread:

for some ideas about how to work around it for now.
