I'm not sure how this can be done without introducing some huge security hole though... That app could do all sorts of stuff like warn users on the fly and manage settings on a per-app (client) basis. Users would need to trust it 100% though. I suppose the app could be even more generic - spanning all permssion - yikes! In my app, I already have phone numbers (from READ_SMS) and only additionally want the names for those numbers. READ_CONTACTS gives me far more than I need and therefore far more cause for concern for my users. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
