A few libraries do this (admob, a few other libraries, etc...) to make sure they don't break the program incase the developer accidentally forgets to put the internet permission on (or in my case, if somebody strips it off ;-)... However, it seems like the way you use this is a bit hackey, you might want to think of a better way to design your code to determine what functionality you need than checking for a permission.. (This isn't meant as an insult, but, for example, what happens if somebody takes your unpaid version, adds the contacts permission, and suddenly gets the paid functionality?) kris On Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 9:06 PM, James Black <planiturth...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > I have a paid version of a program that will go to the contacts provider, > but the free version doesn't. > > So, in the manifest file I have it set for the paid app. > > But, both versions go to the same function to use what was entered, as, if > the data isn't a contact then the program calls a webservice. > > Right now I just catch the SecurityException, and that works, but I am not > happy with this solution, and I am curious if there is a better way. > > -- > "I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not > sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant." > - Robert McCloskey > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to android-developers@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > android-developers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
