I have a question about a simple application, the only permission that i have set is Internet, because it's a simple application that reads something on the net. Anyway, the app requires to me (when i install it) three permissions, Internet, SD Storage and Phone usage.
Anyone knows why happens this?

Eclipse development issue: I've updated the needed bits for Android development with Eclipse for Java. However, I do not choose to use the emulator, I prefer testing on my Droid mobile phone. When I try to "Run" my application in the Eclipse IDE it shows an error of "ERROR: Application requires API version 6. Device API version is 5 (Android 2.0)"
Also in the Android Device Chooser dialog there is a red "X" in the Target column. Is this something to do with the USB drivers? If so, I've already tried pointing the Device Manager to pickup any new drivers from "C: android-sdk-windowsusb_driver" on my system, where they reside. Further ideas are welcomed and would be most appreciated. I'm a new developer and am really looking forward to the possibilities with the Android platform.
I have found the solution to this problem, the issue was I was also supposed to add the data tag:<data android:mimeType="application/vnd.wap.mms-message" />.Can someone provide some sample code to access the contents of the MMS message received.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an application which has some of it's activities restricted via my own permission. The permission is published in the manifest of the application A and a second application B should request this permission and then be able to call an activity from app A. Both applications belong to me and are signed with the same certificate (they share the same keystore and alias/password from it). Application A gets granted the permission but app B gets never granted the permission! Logcat tells me about this during the installation and the app crashes with an security exception when trying to start the activity from app A. What the heck am I doing wrong? Could it be something with the application signing? Please help me, I'm totally out of ideas.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am wanting to know if a developer has the ability to choose not to display the permissions needed for an app they create. For an example if there is a note taking app in the market that says no permissions needed, but in reality, it does have "internet access"capabilities not shown to the user/downloader, Is it possible for App permissions to be hidden and not displayed to the user? Can someone explain to me the process on assigning and displaying permissions on android apps?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know you can apply Permissions for Applications on it's manifest.xml file. What I want to know is, can those Permissions be adjusted by the Applications on the fly?Here's my reason: say I have an application that is allowed to do "x", "y", and "z" (SMS, sockets, etc) Permissions. Now lets say I have a logical "user" that connects to this Application, and I want that user to only be able to do "x" and "y", but not "z" Permissions. It would be nice to have the Android Framework handle that instead of having a bunch of "if's" in the App code.

I was wondering, is there anyway a developer can hide or exclude a certain app permissions from being seen by Android market users? And are the permissions for an app controlled or regulated by Google? Another question I have - Is there anyway to restrict PDF files from opening in the default browser? This is a problem when I am on a search engine and accidentally click a link that's a pdf file- I don't want pdf's downloaded without asking me permission atleast. And my last question, is there a way to view current extensions that are installed in the browser.? Where is androids inbuilt file manager? Does uninstalling an application completely take off everything related to that app from your phone?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've noticed a troubling issue with app permissions. It seems that after installing, some apps that didn't ask for these two permissions:
Storage: modify/delete SD card contents
Phone calls: read phone state and identity
will magically acquire them after install! These apps do not ask for these permissions during install, nor do their Market pages disclose that they need them. After looking through many logcat messages during an install, I found this:
04-07 03:23:08.973,I,PackageParser,1016,com.some.app.nam e.here: compat added android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
Digging around, I found this online:
Android permissions: Phone Calls: read phone state and identity - Stack Overflow. It seems that an app that is compatible with systems earlier than 1.6 will automatically be assigned those two permissions. If a developer is willing to make their app compatible only with 1.6+ systems, they can change their app's manifest:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="4" />
and when users on 1.6+ devices install the app, those two extra permissions won't show up.
I bet a lot of app developers don't know this, and therefore their apps will seems to acquire those two permissions magically. Users will install those apps, see the two extra permissions when they inspect the app security setting and be very puzzled. They'll probably think the app is malware and uninstall it. I've contacted some app developer about this issue, so that they can (hopefully) fix their app so it doesn't look like malware. Unfortunately, until all legit apps are fixed, it'll be hard to distinguish amongst apps that have those permissions, which app actually needs those permissions, which apps need fixing, and which apps are malware.
I have two published apps that are pretty targeted to the user collecting their personal medical data (like Blood Pressure, etc.) and then, eventually sending it somewhere, if they choose.
I decided to put Read/Write permission on my ContentProvider, so if another app comes along that wants to the access that content, the user will be warned. The permission that is required is declared in my apps.
When the user installs my apps, they are also given a warning that the app requires that permission (even though it's the one that declares it), and it shows up in the Marketplace also.
The question is: Is it possible that the permission acceptance part of installing my app could be putting customers off? I don't know what other's acceptance rate is, but mine is around 50% of customers who download it have active installs.
how to find permissions a given application has. Each app is run as a certain user, so wouldn't finding the file permissions of an app be the same as finding the file permissions of a user? On Linux/Unix there is the find command but I don't know of any alternative command that is available on android. I am running KitKat 4.4.2 kernal 3.40-gadb2201.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe 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've been doing Android application development for Android 1.5 on Debian etch (4.0), and things were going okay. I then tried upgrading the SDK to support more recent platforms. The problem is that the vast majority of the tools that are executables (I'm not counting shell scripts) seem to now depend on glibc >= 2.4. When trying to execute them, or passing them to ldd, I get an error like:
./aapt: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./aapt)
On Debian, the file /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 is provided by the libc6-i686 package, which on etch is version 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7, but on lenny I see that the version has increased to 2.7-18.
I can think of a few workarounds: - Copy the required libraries from a supported platform and point to them with LD_LIBRARY_PATH when using the affected executables. - Download the sources for the tools (e.g. http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=tree;...) and build my own local versions for Debian etch. - Give up using Debian etch and switch to another platform.
All of these are potentially viable alternatives for me, so this isn't a show stopper, and indeed http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html says that it's only tested for GNU/Linux on Ubuntu Hardy Heron, which uses version 2.7-10ubuntu5. Nevertheless, it's somewhat annoying, and I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts, or if the Android team even knows of the issue. I'm guessing that sometime in the transition from 1.5 to 1.6, they switched from an earlier Ubuntu version (I have to go back to Dapper, which uses 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.5, to find a pre-2.4 version) to Hardy, and this was just a side effect. But I'd be surprised if there was anything specific in the source that really required libc 2.4, and it's possible that if they were just building with an appropriate compiler flag that backwards compatibility could be maintained.
This affects all platform-specific tools for platforms >= android-1.6 (so aapt, aidl, and dexdump), and it affects all platform-agnostic tools (except for hprof-conf and mksdcard; so adb, dmtracedump, emulator, sqlite3, and zipalign) installed with the new modular sdk download (android-sdk_r3-linux.tgz) available starting in the android 1.6 timeframe (the corresponding tools from the android 1.5 timeframe in the monolithic SDK download of android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r3.zip work fine).
