hi everyone, i'm searching during all week end and didn't find an answer to my question : why WRITE_SECURE_SETTING permission exist if you can ask and obtain this permission?
as more as i can see, to have this permission you need to be part of the system (argh!) or to have your apk signed with the same that the system (argh again) ... so why this permission exist if in fact to have the possibility to write secure setting is linked to something else than this permission? more of that, is it possible for a simple dev guy to be able to sign his apk with "framework" certificate or something like that? if it's a permission to ask, why, when you ask it, you can't have it? it's like a bone in front a a dog, on the other side of a closed window :-( i like security on android : you ask permission, a disclaimer appear to the end user when he install your apk, and see what you want to do ... why this setting is so secure and not allow disclaimer as other permission? many question, i hope some google dev guys and girls can help me to understand that... thanks in advance, regards, ps: i'm on android 1.6 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
