Hello, I have implemented a service which must start another service and I get a permission exception. The implementation of the two services are in two different projects, i.e. in two different apk.
The first apk contains a package "my.package", the first service my.package.service1 and an abstract class my.package.abstractservice which extends the Service class. The second apk contains the implementation of the second service my.package.service2 which extends my.package.abstractservice. When service1 starts service2 with the function startService(), I get an error telling that the system can't start service2 without private permissions. So I modify the manifest files: the first apk declares and uses my own permission, and in the second apk I added android:permission=... in the declaration of service2 in the manifest file. But I get a SecurityException telling that service2 can't be started without the requested permission. I have checked the application settings and the dumpsys of adb. Permission is well attributed, but this does not help. One thing I read in this group is that the order of the installation of packages declaring permissions and those using them is important. I noticed that when debugging service2, its apk is first installed in the emulator, then the first apk (which declares the permission) is installed. Probably due to the fact that service2 extends the abstract class of the first apk. Is it this the origin of my permission problem?
