I've got the same problem. I wrote a widget that displays the last emails on a homescreen. This worked quite well for Android 2.1, but since 2.2 i cannot read the emails by using the ContentProvider because of the strict security. I found out the reason for this is that you an application with granted permission can access the passwords of the email accounts.
So how can i access the emails, now? Regards, Frank On Oct 6, 8:39 pm, Priyank <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have my application which creates an audio file.
