Make the sync on import, account addition, and when clicking the button synchronous rather than async that relies on the Android sync adapter
It's a small thing, but it just makes sense. When I am importing entries into a journal I like to open the web app to make sure all my entries are there as expected, and it is annoying to see no entries and realize you forgot to hit sync on the mobile app.
It doesn't trigger and it doesn't not trigger, it just relies on the Android mechanism of automatically triggering a sync when the store changes. I'm pretty sure it works, but it does take some time.
What you actually want is something I've been dying to implement that will also fix the annoying UX during the first sync of an existing account on a new device: make the first (and import) sync synchronous rather than relying on the Android mechanism which is much much slower.
I'll edit the task's title.
