Justin,
The framework does a check on the permissions of the applications you
are trying to start. In the case of how you are trying to start the
activities the framework does not grant the permission. In general if
you would be root or the owner of the calendar application (in this
case its the system ) you get the permission granted right away to
start the activity.
In your case the check for the permission is not successful because of
the wrong permission is passed down to the framework.
I did not find out what permission you need in your case. But if you
want to spend time investigating the framework code look at
checkComponentPermission() in frameworks/base/services/java/com/
android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java
final int perm = checkComponentPermission(aInfo.permission,
callingPid,
callingUid, aInfo.exported ? -1 :
aInfo.applicationInfo.uid);
if (perm != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (resultRecord != null) {
sendActivityResultLocked(-1,
resultRecord, resultWho, requestCode,
Activity.RESULT_CANCELED, null);
}
String msg = "Permission Denial: starting " +
intent.toString()
+ " from " + callerApp + " (pid=" + callingPid
+ ", uid=" + callingUid + ")"
+ " requires " + aInfo.permission;
Log.w(TAG, msg);
throw new SecurityException(msg);
}
By the way starting the calendar app in this way does not cause any
exception
Intent calendarIntent = new Intent() ;
calendarIntent.setFlags
(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT );
calendarIntent.setClassName
("com.android.calendar","com.android.calendar.MonthActivity");
