I'm working on a security project which needs connect to internet in a stealthy manner. It will be perfect if our app can access internet without asking for the permission INTERNET. I found it is OK to open browser with a URL without that permission but the user will notice that. Is there a way to access Internet without the INTERNET permission and hide from user?

I get the following Exception running my app:
java.net.SocketException: Permission denied (maybe missing INTERNET permission)
How do I solve the missing permission problem?
Looking for a navigation app with no "Internet access" permission. Maps will probably be loaded manually...
I've spent some time at the market with no results. I'm looking for an old fashioned solution where you simply load in a map into your device (manually), the GPS reciever takes the required signals from the sky and shows your coordinates on the map. That's it.
No internet connection, no fancy 'in store purchases', simply a man and his interactive map- just like my grandpappy used to do back in 1845.
I got a AsyncTask that is supposed to check the network access to a host name. But the doInBackground is never timed out. Anyone have a clue? code....
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a free application that has a number of paid-for upgrade applications you can buy for it. The base game is free and remains the application that the user always launches, it detects the presence of the other applications and unlocks various upgrade features as appropriate.
I wanted to use the new licensing service to detect whether the bought applications were licensed, and pass the name of the package to the licensing service to verify if it is authorised (and blindly following the sample I stupidly assumed that passing in the package name to the obfuscator meant that the package name was passed to the licensing server - oops). However I've just realised how dumb that was, and in any case I have hit a brick wall: "If you already published your application as free, you won't be able to upload an updated version that includes licensing (that is, an application that uses the same package name and that includes the licensing permission)".
So, a two-part question: is there any plan to implement what I'm looking for: to check from inside a free application whether any of my other paid published applications are licensed?
If not, then what would be the best way of achieving what I'm seeking? I'm thinking of maybe sending an intent to each of the installed upgrades, getting them to perform the licensing check, and then getting the upgrades to pass the response back into my base application.
When i add Internet permissions to my manifest file my application refuses to even start and i get this in my console code...

View 8 Replies View RelatedOne of my users is experiencing an odd problem on network access via my application. Checking his logs shows up the following exception. The odd thing is that I have "android.permission.INTERNET" in application AndroidManifest.xml and many users have already used my app with no problem (I've launched it 4 months ago).

I wrote this:
HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection) new URL ("Here my server URL is provided")
openConnection(); con.setDoOutput(true); con.setDoInput(true); con.connect();//
At this point I am getting error saying Java.net.SocketException:permission denied..
Actually I am sending request to server after getting request in XML format I want parse using
xr.parse(new InputSource("URL"));
But its giving error at con.connect(); only. And I have added Internet permission in manifest file.
I have as an example, this provider information from the PackageManager. Code...

View 1 Replies View RelatedA question about the internal storage that's private to each application (especially when storing files with Context.MODE_PRIVATE).
How is that storage actually assigned to the application? Just by package name or also somehow bound to the sign key of the app?
Let's say I have installed application 1 and then write another application 2 with the same name and package name (just differently signed with different keys) and install it (app 2 replacing app 1), would that application 2 get access to the /data/data/[app]/files ?
Or would I not even be able to replace app1 with app2 due to different sign keys in the first place?
What is the simplest way to check whether my app can access the internet? I am using some APIs that use the internet, but they crash if there is no connectivity. So I just want to check if there is internet access by any means.

This works fine in the emulator running version 1.5 of Android when 3G is enabled, but it crashes when I disable the 3G connection. My application throws a null pointer exception when I call isConnectedOrConnecting(). The same thing also happens on my HTC Desire running Android 2.1.

But it gives me network/ wifi connectivity if wifi is connected it gives me true and if internet is not connected then it also gives me true.
How can I check got a successful Internet connect (Wifi/3G/whatever else) I already display an error to the user if they don't have Wifi connection but how can I make sure then that the user does got 3G connection if they wish to connect to use the application without the Wifi connection?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been closely watching what i install and what permissions they ask for. I installed "Diet & Food Tracker" by Spark People. On the app market it said that it only needed internet access.
When I looked under manage applications it said the permissions were internet access
read phone state and identity
read and modify sd card data
is it normal to have hidden permission access?
The DroidExplorer shell gives "adb: permission denied" cannot access properly into Coby Kyros MID7125 tablet.
I cannot see my root contents and folders with shell. I have rooted my MID7125 and it has ClockWork recovery too. I have made a backup successfully. I can connect to it with my PC using DroidExplorer. I go into shell and get my $ prompt. I enter adb devices and get the following: "adb: permission denied" Is there a password? If so, what is it and how do I enter it to access properly. How can I see the folders?
I used this method to root. [URL]
I originally used the SuperOneClick method and had the same outcome.

I was looking at this free Kingsoft Office and here is what it lists among its required permissions:
"Access email provider data. Allows this application to access your email database, including received messages, sent messages, usernames and passwords."
It seems highly suspicious to me even without the usernames and passwords part. The app is in Google Play.
I was trying to make an anonymous class to upload a file to a server.
I wanted to make that easily reusable much like some kind of component.
Everything works fine but as a final touch i wanted to add a function to check if internet connection is available.
Problem is, the call to the connectivity manager needs the Context :
ConnectivityManager connec = (ConnectivityManager) getSystemService (Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
Since i'm in an anonymous class and I've read that it's not a good idea to pass the whole context to classes, I wondered about two things :
1 - Is there another way to check internet connection without the Context ? 2 - Why in Android internals make it necessary to have the context just to check if the device is connected to internet ?
I was just wondering how, if possible, to check Internet usage? I'm with Orange on a monthly contract, think my allowance is 500GB a month? Is there a way to check usage as going along, don't fancy getting a bill at the end of the month which is huge! Say I use the Internet (Google, Facebook etc etc) one hour a day, is that a reasonable amount to be within the 500GB limit? I don't want to get a huge surprise when the monthly bill comes through.

Anyway he was on this website to check his internet speed on his pre and so I wanted to check mine. I was averaging ~500kbps and I hit 1000kbps once. But my friend, he was averaging 8.5MBps, yes MBps. Obviously same network, at the same time. What up wit dat?
We also tried to go to websites we had never been to at the same time and he was beating me pretty handly. Anyway, I wanted to see what you guys were getting? Site is mobilespeedtest.com, then it run test and post results! Whoa, just did it right now and I got 1311kbps.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got a milestone yesterday, and I was fascinated by it. The only thing that kills me, is that it doesn't take permission to connect to the internet. I used to have a Nokia, which always had to take my permission first to connect to 3G internet network.
But with the milestone, it doesn't, and I get charged for every single 1kb used I just lost what is equivalent to $10 USD in the last 5 mins for just trying to open Google and download the SlideME app. is there some kind of hidden tasks that uses the internet or something ?
One more thing, today morning, I opened facebook after recharging my credit balance with 20 USD. And guess what ? They're all gone too for just opening the home page! if I have an active internet connection, how can I close it ?
I have used below steps for setup the my emulator
