Since Gmail is not part of the SDK, you should not be the least bit surprised at problems like this. As to the nature of the difference, remember that the DROID is one update ahead of the Nexus One, insofar as the DROID got the OTA not that long ago, and I think the Nexus One is still on the original shipping firmware (IIRC). Hence, it's very possible this permission requirement might start showing up on other 2.1+ devices. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
