I am not sure if it's a standard Android component, and indeed I guess it's not. Still, the possibility exists. However, other system apps show the same behavior regarding their packages.xml entries.
Anyway, here's the whole block: <package name="com.android.filemanager" codePath="/system/app/ FileManager.apk" flags="1" ts="1314087422000" version="1" userId="10036"> <sigs count="1"> <cert index="1"/> </sigs> </package> I would guess that a file manager would typically at least have WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. Another example: The Google-provided Youtube app, also a system app as it's installed in /system/app/: <package name="com.google.android.youtube" codePath="/system/app/ YouTube.apk" flags="1" ts="1314087422000" version="2106" userId="10031"> <sigs count="1"> <cert index="9"/> </sigs> </package> No shared user ID, no perms block. Still, I would guess it would need INTERNET permission. One last example, which would usually require RECORD_AUDIO permission: <package name="com.android.soundrecorder" codePath="/system/app/ SoundRecorder.apk" flags="1" ts="1314087422000" version="8" userId="10043"> <sigs count="1"> <cert index="1" key="30..."/> </sigs> </package> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
