Android :: Add Permissions To App Manifest Programatically?
Nov 19, 2010
I am trying to add permissions to my application manifest, so it can access other apps that the user installs at runtime. I thought the way to do this was to define a permission-tree in the manifest, and then use PackageManager.addPermission() to add permissions under that tree. However, I can't get this to work and the documentation I found wasn't conclusive. Could anybody show me how to do this by means of a simple example?

The permissions say that you must agree to allow them to delete files from your storage including your SD card; must agree to allow them to extract any information from your phone, etc. In other words they can do any thing they want with your phone and the data in it.
Is there any way to not grant these permissions and still get updates?

I create my Network provider and I want to start Activity from it. Is it necessary to create separate Activity with Manifest and then launch it using startActivity? Can I launch unregistered Activity directly from my provider?

is there some way to retrieve the manifest.xml of an application from the market, without installing the application? I think the official Market Application somehow get this file (or at least parts of it) to show needed permissions, etc. before installing. I'd be interested in seeing the IntentFilters defined by applications and their activities and processing this information in my application.

I am writing an application that will run on 2.0 and above. Now, I am thinking of adding the Data backup feature to the application. Is there anyway to modify the manifest file to include the metadata only if the phone is using Froyo(2.2). Ideally, i would like to avoid creating a separate application for just Froyo.

This should be simple but I can't find any info on this...
I simply want to read the package value in the android manifest...
CODE:......
The reason is simple I have to call context.getResources().getIdentifier(...)and I need the package.
Since this code will be reused in other apps I want to make it fool proof when I export it and therefore not have to change the value each time.

So, I added the receiver (contained in application) in the manifest. Broadcast doesn't fire my broadcast receive.
<receiver android:name="mypkg.IncomingCallReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.telephony.TelephonyManager.ACTION_PHONE_STATE_CHANGED"/ >
</intent-filter>

I have two applications A and B (in different packages). A can send an explicit intent to B to perform some kind of action. Then,I enforced a permission in application B called "my.permissions.B_PERMISSION ". The A application can still call B despite the fact that it doesn't have the appropriate <uses-permission> in its manifest. Have I understood something wrong?

One 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).
java.net.SocketException: Permission denied (maybe missing INTERNET permission) at org.apache.harmony.luni.platform.OSNetworkSystem.createStreamSocketImpl(Native Method) at org.apache.harmony.luni.platform.OSNetworkSystem.createStreamSocket(OSNetworkSystem.java:187) at org.apache.harmony.luni.net.PlainSocketImpl.create(PlainSocketImpl.java:266) at java.net.Socket.checkClosedAndCreate(Socket.java:872) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:1019) at org.apache.harmony.luni.internal.net.www.protocol.http.HttpConnection.<init> (HttpConnection.java:62) at org.apache.harmony.luni.internal.net.www.protocol.http.HttpConnectionManager $ConnectionPool.getHttpConnection(HttpConnectionManager.java:145) at org.apache.harmony.luni.internal.net.www.protocol.http.HttpConnectionManager .getConnection(HttpConnectionManager.java:67) at org.apache.harmony.luni.internal.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.get HTTPConnection(HttpURLConnection.java:821) at org.apache.harmony.luni.internal.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.con nect(HttpURLConnection.java:807) at org.apache.harmony.luni.internal.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.get OutputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:1150) ......

In my thread I create an inner activity 'B' at one point in order to launch another activity for result. I need to declare this in my Android manifest file but can not work out what the name of it is as the standard ".B" does not work as it says that activity does not exist. How can I declare this activity?

I have a launched android application that works fine most of the time. However 1 in about 1000+ runs I get an android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class exception. The activity is declared in my manifest and I've never seen it crash myself. It is declared like this...
CODE:..........
The crash reports show it failing on all OS's from 1.5 to 2.1.

I see that multiple broadcasts (ACTION_TIME_TICK, for example) cannot be registered in the manifest, the must be explicitly registered via Context.registerReceiver(). I am having trouble with the ACTION_USER_PRESENT broadcast intent. Specifically, I test on the emulator and my application keeps force closing with the error:
CODE:...................
This is caused by
CODE:.......................
My manifest is fairly simple:
CODE:........
I am essentially attempting to create a Receiver that is awakened as soon as possible after my application is installed. The first time it is awakened, it registers a few listeners, and then it unregisters itself so it is never called again. (I really wish there was an intent fired immediately after your app had been installed, to allow a small bit of setup.

The AndroidManifest.xml contains the version name of the application, something like: android:versionName="1.0"
Now the question - is it somehow possible to access this version name in the source code, so that I can display it for example in an About Dialogue?

I have some code that starts another activity based on a menu item selection:
..........
I've spent quite a bit of time on this and am inclined to file a bug report at this point. I can see a reference to the allegedly missing class in the classes.dex file inside the APK and the code works properly in the emulator. I haven't been able to find anything like this, so if there is, an RTFM pointer will be humbly accepted.

I am trying to understand the main differences between registering a BroadcastReceiver in the Manifest and registering it programmatically...
My understanding is basically as follows - would appreciate someone correcting my points if I am missing something.
Registered in Manifest:
- The OS will magically find and instantiate your class if needed, calling the onReceive() method, regardless what the running state of your application was
- Your receive will only get called once per broadcast (i.e. You can consider that registering in the manifest is like registering your 'class' for receiving the broadcast - and the broadcast instantiates your class as needed) (??)
Registered Programmatically:
- registering in code means that you are registering instances of your class to receive broadcast messages (i.e. if your code is a little sloppy, and you manage to register several times, you will end up with multiple BroadcastReceiver instances all having their onReceive() called for a broadcast
- to deregister, you need to deregister the specific BroadcastReceiver instance that you previously registered
- if your application gets destroyed by the OS, your onReceive() method will not be called for a broadcast

I have a custom title bar that I would like to apply to all my activities. I have searched online and found a few ways of doing that however I have ran into a problem. It seems that despite the fact I have a TextView in my titlebar with id @android:/title, Android will not use the value defined in the manifest in android:label for each activity.
I tried also calling setTitle(R.string.myTitle) but it still will not render it! If I manually put some text in my TextView in the xml it shows up fine. How can I have a custom title bar that is linked and makes Android use my manifest values for labels? I do not want to lose the setTitle() or the XML attributes functionality.

I have a tab host with two tabs. I want one of those tabs to be a search screen. The content for the tab is a ListActivity. I'm pulling the content from a web service. My problem is, when I execute the search a new intent is pushed onto the screen. I've used the android:launchMode="singleTop" property in my manifest for the search activity. What that seems to have done is, once the new intent is pushed on top of the TabActivity, every time I run the search it reuses that intent. But I want the already existing intent which is set as the tab's content to be the one it uses.

I have an application that listens for screen off, and user present intents. Since you cant register to receive screen off intents from the manifest, I am registering them in a service. Do I really need to have a whole service to ensure that I always get notified of when the screen shuts off, and the user unlocks the phone? Seems really wasteful :-(
The code I use in my service:
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Log.d(TAG, "Service created.");
// register receiver that handles user unlock and screen off logic
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_USER_PRESENT);
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new ScreenReceiver();
registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
}
