Hi, I'm seeing some weirdness with getPackageManager().checkPermission (permission, callerPackage);
sometimes it returns PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED and sometimes it doesn't (without reinstalling apps, just starting and stopping apps) I have 2 applications, call them app A and app B. app A fires a specific intent with a string extra of "foo" which activates an activity in app B. app B's onCreate method then checks that the calling activity has the "blah.blah.blah.foo" permission and allows or denies it at runtime. If app A fires the same intent, but now with a string extra of "bar", then app B will then check that the calling activity has the "blah.blah.blah.bar" permission. I've managed to get this particular approach to work, but sometimes checkPermission() works for a while and then stops working. Any idea what it could be? Do permissions have to be forward-declared? In other words, do I need to have a <permission name="blah.blah.blah.bar"> in the AndroidManifest of app A or app B? Or does having a <uses-permission name="blah.blah.blah.bar"> suffice to bring that particular permission into the world? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me on this! -Mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
