No, but you can still ask for the CALL_PHONE permission. You just need to adjust your manifest to include the proper <uses-feature> element to say that you can work without a phone. Please read the blog post I linked to. > Weather is usually the determining factor for when you file a > flight plan, and you can a lot get a lot of extra weather information > by calling the weather office.

There may be value in simplifying placing the call, but IMHO there is no need for an aviation weather app to have to place phone calls directly. CALL_PHONE is a scary permission (compared to, say, VIBRATE), and developers should be avoiding scary permissions wherever possible. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training Worldwide: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
