Trying to start a Service in another application with this code:
startService((new Intent()).setComponent(new ComponentName(
"com.foobar.memtest","com.foobar.memtest.RunningService")));
and get this exception:
java.lang.SecurityException: Not allowed to start service Intent
{ comp={com
.foobar.memtest/com.foobar.memtest.RunningService} } without
permission private
to package
The manifest for com.foobar.memtest does not have any permissions set
for the Service or the Application. The manifest docs for <service>
android:permission say -
"If this attribute is not set, the permission set by the <application>
element's permission attribute applies to the service. If neither
attribute is set, the service is not protected by a permission."
So if the service is not protected by a permission why does the
exception say a permission is required?
