Thanks Tukka . I have aa few questions about policy unaware apps:


If the apps don't ask for the permission (policy unaware apps), they are all 
going to be treated as media players. In this case, how can they know if they 
are granted the permission to use a particular resource set? For instance let's 
assume a policy-unaware Android app wants to play audio through the speakers 
while the speakers are already in use by a higher priority app. In this case 
the policy framework denies the permission; how does the policy unaware app get 
notified?

Is there a way to give different priorities to policy-unaware apps? For 
example, an phone call should have higher priority over the audio player.

What happens if a policy-unaware app wants to record audio? I guess that is not 
going to be possible, since all policy unaware apps are treated as media 
players by the policy framework.

Hi guys,

I want to add my own resource class and alter the priorities of the existing 
ones. Can anyone suggest a starting point or a pointer?

Policy settings are in the package policy-settings-basic-{platform} package. 
That package contains policy rules (in prolog) and some settings files. Looking 
into settings package for N900 resource classes appear to be defined in 
resource_classes.pl.

It would be interesting to see what could be done with policy framework but 
unfortunately I haven't quite grasped prolog.
