Be sure you install the .apk providing the permission before the one
using it. You can see what permissions your app has been granted by
digging through the output of "adb shell dumpsys package".
Also PLEASE DO NOT use the name "android.permission." The namespaces
"android.* and "com.android.*" are reserved for the android platforms,
and applications MUST NOT USE THEM.
