Lots of permissions are that way. You don't have an API call to brick the phone, yet there is the BRICK permission. My understanding is that this stems from way back in 2007, when the SDK was carved out of the previously-monolithic OS -- they made all permissions be part of the SDK for simplicity. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in DC: http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
