I'm trying to implement a custom permission to be used between two of
my apps.
In AppA I declare:
<uses-permission android:name="com.teslacoilsw.TEST_PERMISSION" />
And in AppB I declare:
<permission android:name="com.teslacoilsw.TEST_PERMISSION"
android:label="TeslaCoil Test"
android:protectionLevel="normal" />
...
<service android:name=".TestService"
android:exported="true"
android:permission="com.teslacoilsw.TEST_PERMISSION"
/>
If I install AppB and then install AppA, it work as expected (AppA can
bind to AppB's service). However if I install AppA and then install
AppB, I get a SecurityException when trying to bind to the service as
the permission is not granted. (Tested on Android 4.0.3)
I've investigated adding the <permission> declaration to both
manifests and this does seem to work, I assume because the permission
now always exists at install time. However this feels wrong to me.
Is there a correct way for an app to declare a permission in an
environment like the Market where installation order is not
guaranteed?
Thanks,
-Kevin
