Re: [android-developers] Re: Restricted access to Content Provider
Thanks for that info Dianne. It looks like I need the android:protectionLevel=signature configuration, however I can't get it working. Here is my manifest containing my content provider: manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; package=com.cpexample permission android:name=some.name.permission android:label=@string/cp_permission_label android:description=@string/cp_permission_desc android:protectionLevel=signature/ application android:label=@string/app_name android:icon=@drawable/icon provider android:name=.Provider android:authorities=com.cpexample.Provider/ /application /manifest I used eclipse to Export Signed Application of the content provider using a brand new keystore. I have another app signed with another keystore. I didn't expect the second app to be able to access the content provider, yet it has no problem accessing it.

Hi, did you solve this problem of restricting access to your content provider to certain applications? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Restricted access to Content Provider
If you want to have a permission that only apps signed with your cert can get, use android:protectionLevel=signature for the permission. If you just want to limit access to only code within your own app, a quick and dirty thing you can do is check that the calling UID is the same as Process.myUid().
