Can someone update me on the status of the permission (if any) that is needed in order to read browser bookmarks?
Two permissions are documented: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#WRITE_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS But earlier reports indicated that these permissions were not recognized by some 1.6 handsets. Earlier posts on this topic also suggested that because these strings equate to "com.android..." permissions rather than to "android..." permissions, then these permissions are not "standard" and may go missing. Are these permissions now standard? Are any Android platforms required to provide them? --Joe On Oct 25, 9:38 am, Vamsee <vkanak...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Oct 9, 9:37 pm, "John B.
