View 2 RepliesI 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 want to delete Downloads provider data. And I have added permission in AndroidManifest. xml,But it doesn't work, the log gave me a pid and an uid, I guess the problem is caused by these two ids.If it's true, what can I do to solve this problem.

This is my code:
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("market://search?q=pname:com.action.test")));
what am I doing wrong?
I use signpost-oauth do oauth in android, and after login on the web page, return to the Activity, the provider is null sometimes.
CODE:.....
And the manifest.xml
CODE:.....................
I don't know why the provider is null sometimes.
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:

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.
is there an easy way to limit my content provider access to only one or more packages I don't want other packages to access my data.
I looked at grantUriPermission but its not straight forward and it doesn't work.
I found that if I want to use the searchable options using the search key I have to create a content provider. Content provider is used to share data across applications.
But I do not want to allow access to my content provider (as well as my data) except/outside my own application. I want to use it only for search suggestion. Because my app data is kind of restricted.
Is there any way to implement local search without content provider? OR is is possible to apply restriction so that except my own app no other app can use my content provider?

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?
View 3 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?
I understand, at least on paper, the basic difference between the Content Provider and just directly accessing the SQLiteDatabase. I have a functioning prototype for my application, and currently it is just directly hitting the database. I don't really have any experience using the Content Provider pattern, but I have found out that I will need to share some data with another application.
I will only be sharing about 2 out of a dozen or so tables, so I was wondering if I should be just completely redoing the data layer to follow the Content Provider pattern, or just expose only those tables via a Content Provider for the sake of the other application and still directly access the database in the primary application.
One of the issues I ran into with my prototype was that I have some fairly complex transactions, and the code I wrote to get that working is not designed particularly well and isn't reusable at all. As I add more functionality to this app, I'm going to need a better designed data access layer, before I set off writing my own, does anyone know of any good resources with design patterns for this type of thing already? Also, if I need to go the Content Provider route, am I going to have solid control over the database transactions?
By using command prompt access the device shell/terminal. then use the su command getting permission denied error. Why this happening? how can i solve this problem.
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?
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.
Is there a permission to allow one app to read the (private) data/data//files/ files of another application? If not, how do backup programs like MyBackup work?

How could I create a ContentProvider where the data is fetch from the internet. As the data is parsed maybe allow the requesting client know the download progress and results so that they are displayed as it's downloaded. My idea is to share this data across other apps. I'm not sure if a ContentProvider would be the solution?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using the built in sqlite library on the Android platform.
I'm considering adding several general purpose fields that users will be able to use for their own custom applications, but these fields will be blank most of the time.
My question is, how much overhead will these blank fields add to my database? Do null fields even take up per record memory in sqlite? If so, how much? I don't quite understand the inner workings of a sqlite database.
I m using Android 1.5 my data directory does'nt have the read/write permissions
System.out.println("DAta can write??--->"+Environment.getDataDirectory().canWrite());
System.out.println("DAta can read??--->"+Environment.getDataDirectory().canRead());
So please suggest me how to provide permission for the data directory.
What m trying to do is to create a file and add some content to it iin the Data storage of the emulator like as below
private void writeToSDCard() {
try {
File lroot = Environment.getDataDirectory();
if (lroot.canWrite()){
File lfile = new File(lroot, "samplefile.txt");
FileWriter lfilewriter = new FileWriter(lfile);
BufferedWriter lout = new BufferedWriter(lfilewriter);
lout.write("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
lout.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(m_cTAG, "Could not write file " + e.getMessage());
}
}
In my app i need to read the data at a content provider before the system actually initializes. Probably what i understand is that a boot complete intent would launch a homescreen activity.Exactly before the system initialized i want to see the data provided by the content provider and use it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a content provider that returns data about game sessions. This data comes from an SQLite table. However, the client that consumes it will also want summary data: total wins, current/best winning streak, and so on. I'm not sure which approach to use.
* Possible Approach 1: Do nothing, let the client calculate what it needs.
The client could step through the whole table and calculate statistics itself. However, it's inefficient to send the entire database over the content provider link if the client only wants the summaries; this may also be prone to bugs because each client has to reimplement the summary calculations.
* Possible Approach 2: Separate content URIs for summary data.
The client could ask for a URI like content://myapp/summary/totalwins and get back a text/plain stream containing the number of wins. This seems like a big hassle to implement on both ends, though. Or it could ask for a URI like content://myapp/summary and get back an XML stream containing all the summary data, but this isn't much simpler.
* Possible Approach 3: A phony table.
The client could ask for a URI like content://myapp/summary and get back a cursor over a single row, with each summary value having its own column. This would not be an SQLite cursor but a custom in-memory cursor. It seems a little unnatural to use a table metaphor when there's always exactly one row, though.
* Possible Approach 4: The extras bundle.
Cursor has a getExtras() method that returns a bundle. The client could make a request for the main URI, content://myapp/sessions, and then just look at the extras bundle instead of reading any rows. However, there's no setExtras() method, so I'm stuck with whatever bundle object SQLite puts in there - and if it's Bundle.EMPTY, I'm out of luck.
I am trying to do what I think is a fairly simple task to authenticate a user on my server. I am using AsyncTask as a private subclass of my Activity, however when I try to populate the user object after authenticating it keeps setting it to null. Is there something strange in how the onPostExecute() method is called that is causing this? I originally had the AsyncTask as its own class but ran into the same problem, so I am try to solve this using a private subclass.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a standard native Android content provider that will return data listing all of the apps currently installed on the cellphone. Something like open()/readdir() on a Linux bin directory.
Given that you know an app is installed on an Android cellphone, and you know that apps name, how do you launch that app from a completely different and unrelated app. You might not know which Intents/Broadcasts/URIs the app you want to launch is listening for. And not all Android apps are written to respond to Intent/URI broadcasts or requests.
