That is a great idea. Further, what I'd like to see, and something that seems a no-brainer to me, is the ability for users to disable/enable permissions on an individual basis. That way, if some solitaire game requests internet access, you can still download it, but just say that it can't access the internet. This is how firewalls work on PCs, so why not on android. This would be easy to code for as well for developers: if I have internet permission, I can do so and so; if I don't, well then I can't, and I can tell the user about it. The "all or nothing" scenario dilutes the usefulness of the permissions system. Is this too obvious or am I missing something? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
