Hi Guys, Its me again, this time I have a question about the following methods Context.checkPermission Context.checkCallingPermission and the Context.enforceCallingPermission
I understand that they basically all wrap Context.checkPermission and checkPermission determines the caller by referencing Binder.getCallingUid/Pid My problem is WHEN DOES THIS EVER NOT RETURN THE CURRENT Uid/Pid? Are there any Intent/IPC related operations that external applications can use to explicitly declare their identities to the target of an Intent without going down the custom binder/aidl route? Basically I want to be able to determine the source that launches an Activity, Broadcasts to a Receiver, Queries a path or binds to Service, is there any way to do this?
