Android :: Cannot Install App If Permission Is Granted
May 8, 2009
I am sure that the permission is granted as I declare this in my manifest. Hence the app wouldn't be installed if the user didn't grant the permission.
(a) My guess is that it's a rooted phone where the app is started from an SD card (or similar) whereby the original user id has changed after the install. (b) This could be a Cupcake "feature". Acquiring wake locks has gone down a similar path as turning GPS on?
I am trying to track down (a) with my users, but this takes some time. I meanwhile now that at least one user uses a JF image. Anybody else has experience with that issue? if (b) might be valid? The app works on my 1.5 emulator and on > 400 phones with Cupcake, at least it is installed on them and users don't submit bug reports. So I guess (b) is not the case, but who knows?

I just bought my first Android - Samsung Galaxy Note. The only other mobile I have ever owned was a blackberry curve and I never installed a single app on it.
My Question: What reason does Google Play Store 3.5.16 have to require the following permissions?Your Messages - Receive SMS Your accounts - Act as account authenticator, manage the accounts list, use the authentication credentials of an account Phone Calls - Read phone status and ID
The other permissions that it requests I can somewhat understand, but why on earth does it need access to my SMS? My accounts and my phone calls?

I am adding an option to my app (Executive Assistant) to integrate with the Astrid TODO list app. Astrid defines the permissions necessary for doing this. My app uses those permissions. Everything works fine if Astrid is installed before my app. However, many users will use my app first, then decide to use Astrid later (e.g., in at least some cases, because its now supported by my app). However, in this case, I will get a SecurityException if I try to read from the Astrid ContentProvider since that permission didn't exist when my app was installed.
One easy solution would be to simply uninstall, then re-install my app after Astrid has been installed. However, this would require the user to reconfigure my app, which would understandably be quite annoying for the user. (1) is there any way for my app to "re-request" the permission after Astrid has been installed? And, (2) if not, is there any easy way to save & restore my applications data (database & shared preferences) between an uninstall/reinstall so that the user does not have to reconfigure?

I'm teaching an Android course at Hawaii Pacific University, and I want to install the Android SDK and ADT on university computers, but the University policy requires explicit permission from Google.
Does anyone know who I could contact at Google to get an official statement that it was okay to install the software on University computers?

I am a beginner for android development. I found my application always get "Not granting permission" warning when I install it by adb and AppsInstaller as following.
CODE:.............
And my application cannot inject DTMF tone and mute the micphone on call, I doubt it is related with the permission not granted issue, is correct? Could any one can tell me how to get the permission granted? I used the debug.keystore, is that related?

I can't seem to install 'Bladeslinger' (from the humble mobile bundle) on my Samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket.
I have 1gb of ram, and 450mb of free space on the device and 4gb of free space on the internal sd card. and I re-download the game 3 times using the humble bundle app, and the web page, but every time I try to install it, it says "could not be installed". or something like that.
here is the log cat info:
E/NativeDaemonConnector.ResponseQueue( 495): Timeout waiting for response
E/VoldConnector( 495): timed-out waiting for response to 473 asec create smdl2tmp2 344 fat 7e3849364ba675a4fcd859afb4e47bc2 10015 1

[Code] ......
I emailed their support about two weeks ago, and got no reply, I also tried to check the support page, And I had no luck.

I have noticed in an application I wrote, in-spite of me not specifying any permission in the manifest file, the application throws up permissions granted, such as
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
What is all that about? I was not even aware my application needs to write into external store, and I am pretty sure it doesn't need to. So why are these permission being granted when I never requested for them?

When installing applications from android market some permissions are not listed to the user, but are granted to the application upon installation, including the notorious "Phone calls" permission. When installing locally through "Package installer" the full set of permissions is listed. That behavior may be observed with many applications one of which is 'net.jimblackler.newswidget' (no offense Jim - I hope it's true there's no bad publicity).
This bug was reported as issue #9365 [0] back in Jun 27, 2010 but has gone so far unnoticed, perhaps because android market is not part of AOSP, which is why I post here. I consider this a serious problem as it is misleading for users and reflects badly on application developers and the whole android echo system. Hopefully this will get the needed attention and treatment, especially after all the recent noise around applications security and privacy breaches.

I recently awoke my Galaxy Nexus (takju) from the lockscreen; inadvertently pressing the key combo [vol-up + vol-down + power] initiating a 'Bug Report' (dumpstate) command
Upon entering the Homescreen I was seeing the infamous 'shell has been granted Superuser permissions' toast ~2 seconds apart which lasted ~2 minutes, subsequently vibrating and opening a new message in Gmail containing 2 files - bugreport-date-time.txt and Screenshot_date-time.png (Sent from BugMailer).
This 'toast' has been reported in various device forums/threads and I thought this may shed some light; whether it was a dumpstate command initiated by an inadvertent key combo (as in my case) or a system/app crash bugreport.
If you have experienced this 'toast', check your internal storage (sdcard) for the - /sdcard/bugreports/bugreport.txt and /sdcard/Pictures(in JB)/Screenshot/Screenshot.png - the timestamp of the dump should be in the filenames.

It works normally $ cd data $ ls opendir failed, Permission denied

Maybe the same reason above $. Does it mean I should get the G1's root permission?

I compiled my app in Eclipse and export it as signed application package, when I install it on my G1, I got "phone calls" and "storage" permission alert, "phone calls" permission said: "read phone state and identity", "storage" permission said :"modify/delete SD card contents". but in my AndroidManifest.xml file, I never define these two permission, and my application never need the two permissions. Does anybody know why I get the permission alert? I use ADT 0.9.6. is that possible ADT compiler or signed tools inject the two permission into my app?

I'm prepping my first app for publishing and am a bit confused about how to properly test my <uses-permission> tags.. if i don't specify any permissions my app runs with no complaints on my G1. I tried installing it via "adb install" as well as with the eoeAppInstaller (as somebody had recommended). Also, the app is signed with my own certificate (not the debug cert). given that it works fine with no permissions (btw, it accesses camera and sd card), how will I know if I've set all of the proper <uses- permission> tags?

I wrote a test to check what kind of permissions are allowed to an application. A test run in the emulator shows the following error: However, a search of SDK doc revealed that only the following permissions are reversed to the system: Code...
This brings up 2 questions: (1) Why did the emulator deny other permissions in addition to those 4 system ones? (2) How could an app get the system permission? If this can only be done by building a custom Android like an OEM build, where in the Android platform does it check for system-level permission?

I saw on http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/security.html that my app can declare a permission:
.....................
However, what if com.me.app.myapp is not yet installed on the device?
[a] I tested with "adb install", and Foo was installed on the device without incident. The only thing I see is "W/PackageManager( 62): Unknown permission com.me.app.myapp.permission.DEADLY_ACTIVITY in package com.foo.Foo"
[b] if I upload Foo into Android Market, but the user has not yet installed "myapp", will he be able to see Foo in market?
[c] if the answer to [b] is yes (I really hope so, or else it will be a major bummer ...) what message will the user see regarding com.me.app.myapp.permission.DEADLY_ACTIVITY? Since the description of this permission is declared only in "myapp", without "myapp" installed, will the user just see the name of the permission, which probably doesn't mean much?
If [c] is true, would this be a weakness to the Android permission system/Android Market? As long as I can fool the user to install my app first, I would be able to gain permissions that the user would not have otherwise granted me (had he known the true nature of such permissions).

I am doing an experimental project and want to send key events from one application to another. I know android doesn't allow applications to interfere each other in this way due to security concern. Is there any way i could bypass the security check? I've looked into the WindowManagerService class and made some modifications but it seems not working for me.

I have a doubt regarding content provider.My doubt is I create a app1 that creates Content Provider and in second application(app2) i am using app1's content provider methods(like insert, update etc). It's working fine but i want to set some permissions in app1, so that if any other app wants to use that provider it must have to get this permissions(<uses- permissions) then only it should be able to use providers.

I wanted to use the funcion goToSleep() in PowerManager Class to force the device to sleep. But I'm getting an exception and the application crashes when I call this function. I already have added the DEVICE_POWER permission in Androidmanifest.xml. When I checked the logs I could see below error "E/AndroidRuntime( 2158): Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 10 020 nor current process has android.permission. DEVICE_POWER." Has anyone faced this issue before. Does application have DEVICE_POWER permission. or is it disabled.

I would like my app to archive the application DB to the SD card. In my code I check if the directory can Write(), and if not then throw an IOException. In this perticular instance, I am trying to copy the db file to the root directory on the SD card, but its throwing an IOException. How can I change the permission on a folder/file to be able to write to it
