So is mine on a Galaxy Nexus....
Still -- if that device uses a pirated version of Market (even the latest
version) it could break in various ways. And it does look like a generic
no-name tablet with someone's logo on it.
Also, here is the relevant code from the LVL library:
if (mService == null) {
Log.i(TAG, "Binding to licensing service.");
try {
boolean bindResult = mContext
.bindService(
new Intent(
new String(
Base64.decode("Y29tLmFuZHJvaWQudmVuZGluZy5saWNlbnNpbmcuSUxpY2Vuc2luZ1NlcnZpY2U="))),
this, // ServiceConnection.
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
if (bindResult) {
mPendingChecks.offer(validator);
} else {
Log.e(TAG, "Could not bind to service.");
handleServiceConnectionError(validator);
}
} catch (SecurityException e) {
callback.applicationError(LicenseCheckerCallback.ERROR_MISSING_PERMISSION);
} catch (Base64DecoderException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else {
mPendingChecks.offer(validator);
runChecks();
}
}
The base64 string is used starting with LVL version 2 and decodes to
"com.android.vending.licensing.ILicensingService", same action value as was
used in LVL version 1.
I guess what I would do at this point, if the user has enough patience to
investigate this further, is to write a simple test app that attempts to
bind to the licensing service, and also queries the package manager to
attempt resolving the bind intent.
The test app won't be able to perform a real LVL check on behalf of your
app but just attempting to bind should be useful. It could call the LVL
with its own package name, and that should return "not market managed"...
The point of all this would be to find out for sure if there is something
wrong with Market on the device -- I believe there is, but if you wanted to
be certain, you should be able to clarify the issue with a simple test like
this.
