Hi, I am trying to query custom content provider(App A) from another
app(App B).
I can do that when there is no permission protection for content provider.
Specifically, I build custom content provider on App A and sent an intent
containing the URI to App B. Then App B get the URI and query the
corresponding data in content provider.
Then, I add these permissions to the provider:
<provider
android:authorities="com.ck.contentprovider.MyContentProvider"
android:name="com.ck.contentprovider.MyContentProvider"
* android:readPermission="android.permission.permRead"*
* android:writePermission="android.permission.permWrite"*
* android:grantUriPermissions="true"*>
</provider>
And add this sentence to the intent so as to grant temporary access to App B
sendIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
However, this time, when I query content provider from App B, errors occur:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity
ComponentInfo{com.android.web/com.android.web.Provid}:
*java.lang.SecurityException:
Permission Denial: opening provider
*com.ck.contentprovider.MyContentProvider
from ProcessRecord{426c6ea8 17032:com.android.web/u0a95} (pid=17032,
uid=10095) *requires android.permission.permRead or
android.permission.permWrite*
It seems that App B did not make use of the temporary permission to access.
In other word, how to utilize FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION?
Thanks for attention
Jin
