Android :: Signatures Permissions - What Else Missing In Sdk Documensts
Feb 12, 2010
A WAP PUSH receivers defines permissions & I've seen in some cases, they uses signatures in manifest files. Q: Can a intent-filter use any string as a mime type or the mime types must be pre-register(Accepted) somewhere in system?
Q: What about the permissions? Who is really granting these permissions?
e.g.: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_WAP_PUSH"/> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.WAP_PUSH_RECEIVED" /

The 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 moved my Android project to a laptop and now I get this when I hit Debug. Sounds like this is a bug? This shouldn't happen via Eclipse as far as I know. Re-installation failed due to different application signatures. The weirdest thing is this happened after I upgraded sdk/adt and Eclipse to support SDK 2.2 It was working fine earlier, and now it doesn't, so it might be a bug.

I have an Java class with a static final method getAll:
CODE:..............
Now I want to hand in null as a value for the where statemant so that it will just be ignored later on in the code. Anyway in the testcase for this method I have: Vector<Category> categories = Category.getAll(context, null);
Which then in turn gives me a NoSuchMethodError. I don't know exactly why it does that. The only thing I could imagine is that the null I hand in would not match the signature of the above method. But how can I overcome this? I already thought of overloading. But this would just end in rewriting most of the code. At least when I do it, how I think.
This is the stack trace I get:
CODE:.......................

I have finally - after days and days of agony - figured out that I need two forms of encryption for my Digital Signatures Project. The first will will be symmetric (AES) and will encrypt the license data and the second will be a asymmetric (RSA) an will encrypt the symmetric key. Can someone give me pointers on the best methods to use for Android.
For the public/private keys I am using: "RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding"(I head ECB is bad so what should I use?, what about the PKCS1Padding - shoudl I be using PKCS5Padding?)
For the symetric keys I will probably use: "AES/?/?" (What mode and padding should I use?)
The provider: "BC"
RSA Keysize: 1024 (I tried 2048 but it didn't work for some reason)
AES Keysize: ?

I like how you can add signatures to emails now on 2.2, but how about for SMS? Is there a program/app available to do that?

Just got sent a new droid 2 replacement for my droid 1 because the screen died. After setting all up I went to do my signatures for my work exchange account and a regular yahoo account but it make you use the same signature for both accounts (when doing signature box it states it will apply to all email accounts). I need a specific signature for work and just a simple for yahoo. Is there a way to have different signatures for email addresses? I had separate signatures on my droid 1.

How do you know that an APK signature is not a fake?
What is to stop somebody unpacking an APK, inserting malicious code, repacking the APK, and signing it with a new key that simply copies all of the fields from the original publishers key (company name, locations, etc...)? Obviously it is not the same key, but all of the data the end user would see appears to be the same.
If the original key had to be signed by a trusted authority (as is the case with trusted ClickOnce applications for instance), you could have some certainty that this key was issued to the original company. Similarly, if publishers made their public keys available from a trusted outlet (e.g. google.com/android/keys) you could check that they were correct from the fingerprint.
It would appear that signing only gives you the illusion of security, which is actually worse than no security at all.

I really hate the 'Sent from my iPhone' signature (I have some extra hate for Apple ) and looking from some witty signature to send on the Droid X to all my Apple fanboy/friends.
Looking for something like:
Sent from my 'Steve Jobs controlled'-free phone
or
Not sent from my iFail

I just bought an xperia white, mostly because i heard it was a decent starter smart phone and because it was the best one my provider offered. i was fooling around with it on lunch and added a signature to my texts and now WHENEVER i text for EVERY single text, my name comes up beside it. i've only found one thread about it on the forums, and there was no solution. I like the versatility and styling of the OS texting, and tbh absolute hate the handcent styling. Not to mention i don't really want to have two competing messaging apps on my phone at once..

I have two e-mail accounts, 1 SBC and one an Exchange Server. When I set up my signature (for work), it seems to put that signature for both accounts. Is there a way to seperate the signature lines for each email account? I tried deleting it from my home account and it will delete it from both. there seems to be no separation.

Can someone help out a android nob here? Is there a way to set up a separate (hopefully repeating) audible notification for voicemail? Though to me this would seem like a no brainer item, I can't seem to find it.
Also, while I'm at it. Is there a way to set up signatures in the default mail app?

I've been following the "Is there a way to request permissions from a user as you need them?" thread with a lot of interest, but even if someone is convinced to make the Android permissions system better, it doesn't do anything for right now.
So, I thought I'd start a thread for coming up with alternative ways to reduce the permissions your app needs.
My app absolutely needs internet access (it's useless without it), and it uses Google Maps extensively (it's the main activity), so I have the following :
CODE:.................
I want to be able to know if I have a network connection, hence the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE. I also try to use GPS hence the "ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION", and if GPS is not available I try to find the user's location using something else hence "ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" and of couse the "INTERNET" permission. I also use the "My Location' feature of Google Maps.
So... the question is : Is there a robust way to use Google Maps, and be able to send requests to my server without all those permissions (in a user friendly way) ?
I'm also experimenting with C2DM, so I have the following:
CODE:................
If I want to use C2DM, it seems I am stuck with those... Anybody know
Now... I also want to use the camera (optional) and vibrate (optional but most users will want it) so I have to add :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
Total 10 lines of permissions in the manifest.... AND this is AFTER removing 4 other permissions that a small percentage of users would have found very handy, AND not adding a few other features because of the permissions bloat they would have added
CALL_PHONE READ_CONTACTS GET_ACCOUNTS SEND_SMS
So... given all of this, is there a way to reduce the permissions I need any more than I already have? AND why do I need a total of 8 permissions just to ask my server for the data they want, and try to keep them current using C2DM? Surely those permissions could be reduced somehow.

I'm currently reading the specs about Android's Security system and something is not clear on my mind... Can somebody explain me ? About the Permissions, it is possible to set four levels (Normal, Dangerous, Signature and SignatureOrSystem) The documentation is here : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.styleable.html#Andro...About the "Dangerous" level, it's written : "For example, any dangerous permissions requested by an application may be displayed to the user and require confirmation before proceeding, or some other approach may be taken to avoid the user automatically allowing the use of such facilities." What does "Some other approach may be taken..." means ? How does that work ? Is there any example?

When I run any application from Eclipse on my real G1 device (a retail one, this is not a dev phone), I am granted the READ_PHONE_STATE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE even if i don't declare them in the AndroidManisfest.xml. I actually can call TelephonyManager.getDeviceID () to retrieve the IMEI and I see these permissions in Settings -> Applications. I don't have this behavior in the emulator. Does anyone have the same "problem"?

I have some well-debugged XML-RPC interfaces on a site that work wonderfully from both PHP and from JAVA. Using Eclipse I am able to write Java apps using either the Redstone or Apache XML-RPC libraries quite simply. These test cases using the 2 libraries utilize JavaSE-1.6 (jre6) libraries as well as one of the 2 xml-rpc libs referenced above.
My problem is making this work on Android. I have added ADT to my Eclipse setup and easily executed the HelloWorld test using a virtual 1.6 or 2.1 Android device - no problems. Whenever I go into the Build Path in Eclipse and add the external jars for either the apache or redstone XML-RPC libs my console goes wacky with a ton of the following:
Ignoring InnerClasses attribute for an anonymous inner class that doesn't come with an associated EnclosingMethod attribute. (This class was probably produced by a broken compiler.)
If I push ahead and debug the code when it actually ships off the XML request I get an exception out of the XML library on permissions of some sort. Why does this only happen in an "Android" project. These libraries seem to have no problem running in Non-Android standard java configs. Once we proof the ability to talk to our server we can proceed down the road of actually porting our app to Android.

I have a service which both downloads a file and saves it, and it seems I can only specify one permission.
<service android:enabled="true"
android:name=".DownloadService" android:permission="android.permission.INTERNET">
</service>
or
<service android:enabled="true"
android:name=".DownloadService" android:permission="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
</service>

This seems to be a bit of a vexed issue: see
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...
Like the person who started that thread, I need to get a unique ID for a device, without using scary permissions for TelephonyManager. I've tried
id = android.provider.Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
but that just produces "android_id" on my phone. I'm using a Nexus One and Android 2.1.

I created an application that starts a service. This service is expected to run in background. This service has to access the Location. I am currently unable to do so I have given permission to my Manifest file I think the issue is that the application has the permission, but the Service does not ! What happens is that the service keeps running even if the application is stopped .Does the Service need special / different permissions ? How do I assign permissions to Service ( my service class extends : Service).

For the current application/widget I'm creating I have not set any permissions yet, altough the apk files I have already generated (for example this one: http://code.google.com/p/workregistrationwidget-android/downloads/det...) on install it notifies the users that it requests both SD card access and phone state access. The application source is available here: http://code.google.com/p/workregistrationwidget-android/ Can anyone have a look and tell me what I do wrong or is it just a bug?

I downloaded Unit Converter, and noticed that the market said it needed no permissions, while the manage apps list on the phone said it needed to modify the sd card and read phone state. Not that this was a huge deal, but why would they be different?
Anyways, how does everyone like that unit converter? It seems like it has everything!!

I 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.
