Android :: Permission Enforcement In Application And Manifest
Jan 10, 2010I 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?

Mar 5, 2010One 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).

Mar 28, 2010I'm using Admob, and currently have android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION set in my manifest.
Now, my app clearly doesn't require location, and a lot of users are asking why I need it. I've just discovered that Admob doesn't actually require that the location is set, the only essential permission is the INTERNET one.
So my question is, can I remove the location permission, and be confident that the ads will still serve just as effectively, and that it won't have a detrimental affect on my ad revenue?
Android :: Best Phone Orientation For Compass Readings?
Dec 26, 2009I've noticed that I get a slightly different reading from the compass depending on how I hold the phone. If I hold it vertically, its different than when I hold it horizontal (ie parallel to a table or floor). Does anyone know the most accurate way to hold the phone for the compass?

Feb 8, 2010I have a HTC Hero here, and when I tried to get the list of available sensors on the device by calling ((SensorManager) getSystemService (Context.SENSOR_SERVICE)) .getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ALL); I get only the following sensors: D/SensorManager( 6302): found sensor: BMA150 3-axis Accelerometer, handle=0 D/SensorManager( 6302): found sensor: AK8973 3-axis Magnetic field sensor, handle=1 D/SensorManager( 6302): found sensor: AK8973 Orientation sensor, handle=2 D/SensorManager( 6302): found sensor: AK8973 Temperature sensor, handle=3 According to the specs, there should be a light and a proximity sensor on the Hero, and I've seen it in action (the automatic screen brightness adjustment) - so at least the ambient light sensor is definitely there. My question is then, why doesn't the getSensorList return for me the light and the proximity sensors?

View 7 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Removing G Factor From Accelerometer Readings?
Jul 31, 2010removing the g factor from accelerometer readings. I am using SensorEventListener with onSensorChanged() method for getting Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER data. I need only pure acceleration values in all directions. So at any state if the device is stable (or in constant speed), it should give (0.0,0.0,0.0) roughly.
Currently, depending on its pitch and roll, it gives me variable output depending on the g forces acting on each axis. I hope there is some formula to remove this, as I also get orientation values (pitch and roll) from Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION listener. I had used some but didn't work.
Android :: Converting Accelerometer Readings To Degrees
Apr 20, 2009Does anyone know how to convert the accelerometer readings from g's to degrees?For example, if I want to use the x-axis readings and measure the tilt of the phone, flat would be 0g = 0 degrees and a 90 degree tilt to the right would be 1g (9.80665 m/sec^2).I can't come up with a formula for say 20 degrees or 45 degrees. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jun 9, 2009Reading the sensor API (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/ hardware/SensorManager.html) The section about ACCURACY speak about calibration:
"calibration with the environment is needed"
How do it calibrate?! Is this software calibration? Phone specific calibration??
I don't see any methods to calibrate.
Using the HTC Magic the compass often give me crazy values like if I was on the magnetic pole. I feel pretty scared and hide under a tinfoil hat just in case...
So any url, doc or explanation!

View 9 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Latency When Getting Sensor Data From Phone?
Mar 9, 2010I am working on a project using HTC magic which requires the data from the electronic compass, including both the accelerometer and magnetic sensor. But I find that there is a significant latency between the move of the phone and the trigger of the sensorChanged event. In other word, the acceleration and magnetic data obtained from sensor are updated about half of a second after my motion. And I have several questions about the problem as follow. Are the orientation data computed by the acceleration and magnetic data? Or are there a physical sensor for orientation? Does the latency result from the android API (using the event) or the physical limitation of the electronic compass? It is said that the model of the electronic compass is AK8976A from Asahi Kasei. Does anybody have the datasheet or know the frequency of the sampling? Any idea to improve the real-time experience?

I simply want to read the package value in the android manifest...

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.
