I work for a Parental Controls company and have a product that has been working beautifully on Android up to version 4.2. Until now, we have mostly pushed off fully supporting 4.2 with user switching as the demand has not been high enough. That time has past and it's finally in our radar.
Our product's sole purpose is to *product any user on the device*. Traditionally we have "bound" one of our users (we maintain our own & sync across devices including other OS's). With Android 4.2 comes user switching and individual data directories per user. *How is a product such as ours to share data across 1:n users?* As-is, users would have to essentially re-install our product for every user. All central context is lost (which again, is vital to our product; Each user must belong to the "family") Some things I have looked at: - MODE_WORLD_READABLE / MODE_WORLD_WRITABLE are now removed, so we can't set them in /data/data/package.name/ - FileUtils.setPermissions() seems to ignore 'everyone' bits - File.setWritable() doesn't actually exist in Android -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
