Guys, While working on my own launcher, i tried to integrate my launcher with a set of my own widgets. I want these widgets to be pre-installed (don't by widget pick list). I have bind widget permission in place, but it gives me an error "User 10032 does not have android.permission.BIND_APPWIDGET" When i went through some of the discussion threads found security issues are the reason for this.
“This is deliberately not available to applications. If you want to add a widget, you need to launch the selector UI for the user to pick the widget which will then take care of the bind. Widgets can expose a lot of private data of all types, so it is not safe to allow an application to arbitrarily bind to them without the user implicitly approving (through the selection UI). - Show quoted text - -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] ” My question is if the widget provider is in scope of my same user, as of my Launcher. Why i cant bind it with my own launcher? That's not sniffing. Is there a way or i am missing something to make this work? Let me know your thoughts.
