When calling the DevicePolicyManager.resetPassword(newPassword, 0), on the 3.0 emulator I get a security exception thrown...
04-14 14:02:46.580 E/AndroidRuntime( 6223): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.android.providers.settings.SettingsProvider uri content://settings/secure from pid=6223, uid=10054 requires android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS 04-14 14:02:46.580 E/AndroidRuntime( 6223): at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1322) 04-14 14:02:46.580 E/AndroidRuntime( 6223): at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1276) 04-14 14:02:46.580 E/AndroidRuntime( 6223): at android.app.admin.IDevicePolicyManager$Stub $Proxy.resetPassword(IDevicePolicyManager.java:1289) 04-14 14:02:46.580 E/AndroidRuntime( 6223): at android.app.admin.DevicePolicyManager.resetPassword(DevicePolicyManager.java: 917) 04-14 14:02:46.580 E/AndroidRuntime( 6223): at com.example.android.apis.app.DeviceAdminSample$Controller $4.onClick(DeviceAdminSample.java:693) 04-14 14:02:46.580 E/AndroidRuntime( 6223): at android.view.View.performClick(View.java:3100) 04-14 14:02:46.580 E/AndroidRuntime( 6223): at android.view.View $PerformClick.run(View.java:11644) The Device Admin is active for the calling app and its has resuested the <reset-password /> permission. This example works fine on 2.2 devices and emulators. What changed? Why does the calling app need an extra permission when its already for an active device administrator which has been granted the appropriate permission. Is the resetPassword supposed to be done differently on 3.0? Thanks for your help -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
