Hi, I'm new to android and currently trying to write two simple applications: a client and a server. The client sends a hello in an intent (startactivity_for_result) to which the server responds with a message. Is there a way for the server to reliably check from the received intent that the intent was indeed sent by my client and not by some other application on the phone? I tried different methods, for instance, to get the package name of the client sending the intent (since the package name is known to me), but couldn't get this info from the intent.
>From the android documentation i see that you check only if a particular intent was granted the necessary permission by Android. There is nothing about the "identity" of the intent sending app. Is there way to authenticate the apps sending intents at the handling side? Cheers, Raj
