Hi,

I am using Android 4.4.4.
I have written a policy which prevents any app which  belongs to untrusted_t 
domain from accessing a database. The database belongs to another
user app (com.example.contentprovideruser) which has been assigned a specific 
domain i.e., "hm_phonebookaccess_app" and the database (which belongs to domain 
"hm_phonebookaccess_app")
a specific type i.e, "hm_phonebookaccess_data_file".

I then added the following line in file 
$MYDROID/external/sepolicy/seapp_contexts :-
user=_app domain=hm_phonebookaccess_app  name=com.example.contentprovideruser  
type=hm_phonebookaccess_data_file

I have also added my policy file as part of BoardConfig.mk as follows:-
BOARD_SEPOLICY_DIRS := device/ti/jacinto6evm/sepolicy
BOARD_SEPOLICY_UNION := \
        healthd.te \
        file.te \
        phonebookaccess.te <--- My Policy file

With the above changes, I am able to prevent any process which belongs to 
untrusted_app from accessing the database which belongs to
com.example.contentprovideruser. For this ofcourse, I had to remove "permissive 
untrusted_app" from untrustedapp_te.


Now there is a requirement that "com.example.contentprovideruser" is to be made 
as a platform app.
I have two questions here:-

a) Can some one please tell me how do I set the domain of 
"com.example.contentprovideruser" which is now a platform app as 
"hm_phonebookaccess_app" and
the database (which belongs to "com.example.contentprovideruser") as 
"hm_phonebookaccess_data_file"?
In otherwords, which files do I have to update to make my policy 
(phonebookaccess.te) applicable for a platform app.

b) If there is another platform app, say X,  which shares the same UI as  
"com.example.contentprovideruser" but belongs to a different domain say the 
default domain for platform apps, (assumption here is that I have successfully 
modified the domain and database that belongs to 
"com.example.contentprovideruser" to "hm_phonebookaccess_app" and 
"hm_phonebookaccess_data_file" respectively) would platform app X, be able to 
do a raw binary access of the database which belongs to 
"com.example.contentprovideruser".

Thanks and Regards,
Souvik
