Greetings to everyone, I am extending the platform for another kind of hardware where it is assumed that applications can take actions that may be dangerous. Therefore it is essential that only applications verified by the manufacturer can perform dangerous operations. For all other applications will remain the original policies of Android. It is not my intention devalues the openess of Android, but safety, in my case, is of vital importance.
For reasons of modularity and adherence to the original architecture, requests that applications make to my hardware are injected into the system as Intent (...). Supposing that Intents that request dangerous actions are handled by a specialized "content provider" My question is if there is a way (using only what's provided by the framework of SDK1.0): * to ensure that only trusted applications can deliver particular types of Intent (...)? or * to verify (for example by the specialized "content provider" as above) that the origin of Intent is a trusted application (through the signature of the package, for example, etc)? Thanks to all who want to attend their time, see you soon Filippo P. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "android-framework" group.
