Hi, this is only my second android app, so please pardon my ignorance. my sample application will allow user to turn GPS on/off when a button is pressed. this will be deployed on a test phone given to us by an android handset OEM. the following is added to the AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" /> Then from the eclipse plugin, we right click on the project name, then 'Android Tools -> Export Signed application package' and signed it with a keystore provided by the OEM( OEM knows the app will try to access Secure settings). However, during installation, this error shows up in the logfile, and the gps on/off does not work: WARN/PackageManager(1920): Not granting permission android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS to package com.samples.myapp (protectionLevel=3 flags=0x4446) my questions: 1. is this a problem with the certificate(keystore) that the OEM provided? maybe they haven't given a platform certificate? 2. are there any other additional steps that have to be taken while building the app? I saw some posts talking about using something called 'android.mk' and setting a LOCAL_CERTIFICATE:= platform value. is this necessary? if yes, is it possible to do from the eclipse plugin? 3. is there anything else that the OEM has to do to enable this app? I will very appreciate your responses. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
