hi Dianne i found that if i share the linux user-id of my main and test application (by declaring same "sharedUserId" string), i can put the "extra test purpose permissions" in my test project's androidmanifest.xml file.
it works, my test app have the permission now. the good part is, i don't need to change the src code. is it a strange work around in your opinion?
