I have had a docking app on the market place since December 2009 that allows users to dock android 2.0 and higher phones when plugging in any charger or via the app itself. It appears that starting in 2.2 a security exception is thrown now when the Intent.ACTION_DOCK_EVENT is sent. I see UiModeManager has been added in 2.2, but it only gives the ability to access the car dock not the desk dock. I also tried sending UiModeManager.ACTION_ENTER_DESK_MODE but get the same security exception.
Is there any way to still desk dock the phone from an application in 2.2? Will UiModeManager be expanded to include Desk Docking before 2.2 gets rolled out further? I realize sending the docking events from an app was not intended, but taking this away with out providing a suitable replacement is going to upset android users that have become use to having this ability threw various apps, not to mention the backlash from those who have paid for such apps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
