Hello, Is there any way to discover which app package sent a broadcast? If the sender includes their package name as an extra in the Intent, can you verify the sender is who they say they are?
I came across this post (http://www.unwesen.de/2011/04/10/android- intent-sender-verification/) which describes implementing a custom handshake protocol using a Service naming convention to verify the sender if they supply their package name. I can also imagine doing something similar using broadcasts by using Intent.setPackage() to limit the scope of the broadcast. Does anyone know of an Android API based way to verify the sender package? Thanks, Alan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
