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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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?
How can I add some permission in framework , is it any way to do this ??

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.

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 have a problem writing to the SD card, here is the code: (Sorry about the layout of the code, just copy pased it )
public class SaveAndReadManager {
private String result;
private String saveFileName = "eventlist_savefile";
public String writeToFile( ArrayList<Event> arrlEvents ){
FileOutputStream fos = null;
ObjectOutputStream out = null;...............................
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
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?
