Please read again what I wrote. The permission for access to the network is enforced at the KERNEL level, nowhere near Java. > Google might be new to Java and to mobile, but many people in this > sphere, including me, are new to neither. Google is in no way new to Java, and the Android team is composed almost entirely by people with a long history in mobile operating systems, including big chunks of people from Palm/PalmSource/Access, Danger, Microsoft, etc. Anyway, I am not arguing about this, I am not saying the errors are great as they are, I was just trying to give some insight into why in many cases giving better errors in Android is not as simple as you seem to think it is. If you don't want to believe me that this is how things work, well fine, but it's not really worth arguing about. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
