This has nothing to do with Android. Use Google to find a help on doing the

Re: [android-developers] "Restriction in ContactsProvider" has gone ?

[Dianne Hackborn]

This was never a supported API in the SDK, and the design behind it was
fundamentally flawed (which is one reason it was never in the SDK).

Hi, 

I've searched for "IS_RESTRICTED" field or "restriction" feature in Android

I found the commit "ed6bfd922fd84db21de08c1d12e93c501b86560d" - Remove

I want to know why this feature removed from source. (What's happing??)

Hover over setAdapter in Eclipse. What does it say? Probably that
setAdapter is inherited from AdapterView, which AbsListView extends and
which has had that method since API level 1.

[android-developers] Prasannakrishna Bhagwat has invited you to use Google Talk

[Prasannakrishna Bhagwat]

Prasannakrishna Bhagwat has invited you to sign up for Google Talk so you can 
talk to each other for free over your computers.

To sign-up, go to:
http://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?service=talk&sendvemail=true&skipvpage=true&reqemail=android-developers@googlegroups.com&continue=http://www.google.com/talk/service/handleinvite?p%3DaH1-TjoBAAA.Qdnoo4ykysa50_heYj6cPl4i9Khm1x3dzOm_d4Yl6wZxUaQjxI0uo0Gq4zZGgTxp_b4mEMlzDdlyxNDoQBr7v6nhiEt35B0AFny0WpkcbdM.cYw4INjI5O9ZiGI1VXaF5w&followup=http://www.google.com/talk/service/HandleEmailVerified?ee%3DaH1-TjoBAAA.Wx7zQC_vqzDm2F9-y-qHXrWRqTMRjcqubWrxL4b4tGE446KYo4nbFxYDrEPGKsBy.9SDmb9TLpeSqqm9jjz3f4w%26p%3DaH1-TjoBAAA.Qdnoo4ykysa50_heYj6cPl4i9Khm1x3dzOm_d4Yl6wZxUaQjxI0uo0Gq4zZGgTxp_b4mEMlzDdlyxNDoQBr7v6nhiEt35B0AFny0WpkcbdM.cYw4INjI5O9ZiGI1VXaF5w

Google Talk is a downloadable Windows* application that offers:
- Free calls over your computer anytime, from anywhere, and for as long as you 
want
- A simple and intuitive user interface for sending instant messages or making 
calls--no clutter, pop-ups or ads
- Superior voice quality through just a microphone and computer speaker
- Fast file transfers with no restrictions on file type

After signing-up, download Google Talk and sign in with your new Google Account 
username and password.
You can then begin inviting anyone you want to talk to for free.

Google Talk works with any computer speaker and microphone, such as the ones 
built-in to many PC laptops today,
as well as with wired and wireless headsets and USB phones. Google Talk also 
works across all firewalls.

Google Talk is still in beta. Just like with Gmail, we're working hard to add 
features and make improvements,
so we might also ask for your comments and suggestions periodically. We 
appreciate your help in making it even better!

Thanks,

The Google Talk Team

To learn more about Google Talk before signing up, visit:

(If clicking the URLs in this message does not work, copy and paste them into 
the address bar of your browser).

* Not a Windows user? No problem. You can also connect to the Google Talk 
service from any platform using third-party clients
(http://www.google.com/talk/otherclients.html).

Don't use MATCH_PARENT with weight, leave it as WRAP_CONTENT. The Weight

You could add a submit event listener to the login form node via JavaScript:

where formTag is your login form DOM node and onSubmitFunction is the name

IMO, there is no "correct answer". Do what makes sense for your game and
what you believe your players' expectation of it will be.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Get Passwords from Webview

[Mani]

Nobu Games,

Thank you for your elaborate answer. This is precisely what I am doing. 
Injecting some JS code upon PageFinished and I inspect the HTML DOM for 
forms. I have been fairly accurate in finding out if the HTML page has a 
Login form. I can do a reasonably good accuracy with the no. of password 
fields in the form. One -> Signin 2-> ChangePwd 0 -> Regular page.
Some questions -
1. Is there any straightforward event that is generated when a Submit 
happens inside the Webview ?

Thanks
Mani

What is duration of effect of a pm grant or pm revoke command?  ie,
does it survive reboot?  What about re-install of the app in question?

Also,

"pm grant, revoke: these commands either grant or revoke permissions
to applications.  Only optional permissions the application has
declared can be granted or revoked."

sort of implies that there is a way to declare a permission optional
in the manifest?  Or is that more on the drawing board than yet
implemented?

[android-developers] Rules for restoring game state after the process is killed

[markusn82]

Hi,

We recently came across an issue with regards to game state saving when the 
application pauses and restoring it after the process is killed. For our 
previous titles, we would serialize every piece of data associated with the 
current state of the game (in native code) when an onPause() occurred. This 
means that even if the process was killed off after the onPause(), the game 
would resume in the EXACT state it previously was in previously. For a 
racing game, this means that all the cars would be in the exact same place 
on the track, and all characters would be in their exact previous 
positions. This was a fairly aggressive scheme and it caused lots of 
headaches during coding and debugging. Now that we're working on more 
complicated titles, its becoming increasingly difficult to serialize the 
entire game state.

Is it necessary to be this aggressive when saving game state when the 
process is killed off? After the process is killed, would it be acceptable 
to merely return the player to a place in the game that is reasonably close 
to where they previously were (i.e. a checkpoint). Would this be considered 
bad practice and would it lower the chance of our games being featured?

I tried out several popular games on the market and while some of them 
restore the player to their exact previous position, a lot of them merely 
return the player to a check point or even to the title screen if the 
process was killed off. What is the correct answer?

I think the actual issue is that it has a very long latency - during
which there is no indication that it is working.  And then gmail pops
up.  It really needs some visual feedback when the process starts.

[android-developers] Fullscreen Magnifire for Android4.0 or higher

[Norb]

Hello Guys!

I'am partially sighted and I new many other Android Users who realy like to 
have a feature like this
Currently Google doesn't see to be intrested in a full screen magnification 
solution for Android.
So I thought it will be cool to do it by my selft. The goal of the project 
is to build a screen magnifire like the one in iOS.
The problem is, I'm new to Android and I don't know if there are some libs 
in the SDK which allows me to build this very quickly.
Should I have to root my android to modifly the display stream or are there 
other ways to get the magnification layer at the top of the normal 
Android 4.0 launcher? Or will something like this be possible by writing my 
own Android Launcher? Or will I have to rebuild thow whole Android display 
stack to get something like this work?

I have know real idea how to begin a project like this, but I will be very 
pleased if you could help me!

It will be realy nice if some of you have some ideas where I will find more 
informations about this theme, or where I have to begin to realize a 
project like this. 

sincerely yours
Norb

I will respectfully disagree with such a blanket statement. :)  If you are
just going to say that this is a wrong approach, then why don't we allow
apps to do anything they want?  Well we don't, because placing restrictions
on apps is very important for the quality of the overall user experience
and app ecosystem.  When we first did Android, we thought that the read
logs permission was something that was okay to have on the side of allowing
apps to use.  Years of painful experience has shown this was wrong.

As I said, the issue is far more than just some apps forgetting to not
print sensitive information.  It ultimately is a pretty intractable problem
to give apps access to the stuff that ends up in the log without opening
all kinds of paths for abuse.

Yeah, ultimately, this just is not an appropriate use for a permission.  It
is not the kind of app functionality that 99% of users can even comprehend,
let alone have a chance of deciding whether it is okay for the app they are
installing.  We have over the years gone through a number of different
wordings of the permission, but at the end of the day it is just not
something that can be sensible displayed to the user.

So, it is now a development permission (a new concept introduced in JB),
which will never be shown to users, but developers can enable through their
development tools.

There is no command line switch.  The kernel drive does this based on
whether you have the permission to access the full logs.  If not, it only
gives you the logs associated with your uid.

[android-developers] Re: Eclipse Android Virtual Device on the retina MacBook Pro

[gjs]

Hi,

That is a good problem to have, looking forward to it myself soon, I'd 
suggest debugging on a real device instead of the emulator.

If you also have Parallels or similar and run a Windows VM do you get the 
same issue using Eclipse under Windows? Perhaps you could try to using a 
different screen resolution in a Windows VM.

Either that, or it's not universal. I just gave it a few tries on a
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, also running ICS, and could not seem to get
it to trigger. Which is why we need some other trigger mechanism that
isn't a button-ish form of the game Twister. The concept (let the user

something reasonable for users to accomplish.

3 devices with ICS ( HTC Desire / HTC One X / Asus Transformer )

I was able to get it working in a Galaxy Nexus running ICS, but only

I filed an feature request to offer something else, perhaps through
Settings, to get to the same behavior:

[android-developers] intent for android OTA update

[Ubuntu guy]

Hello,

Does android post any intent letting applications know that OTA
update has begun (before going into recovery mode)?

[android-developers] Add Camera Bar Code Reader Support to Android and Apple iOS Apps

[Tim]

The latest version of the innovative mobile development tool MobiForms 6.04 
now offers support for Android and Apple iOS camera bar code reader 
integration with one simple scan command. MobiForms is now integrated with 
a range of multi-format 1D and 2D bar code image processing libraries. 
MobiForms now supports most bar code formats including UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, 
EAN-13, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, ITF, RSS-14 and QR Codes. This feature 
is ideal for adding bar code scanning to logistics, field service and 
consumer mobile apps.


MobiForms also includes standard Android camera photo and GPS integration. 
MobiForms now makes it possible for novice or experienced programmers alike 
to quickly create any kind of mobile business app for Android smartphones 
and tablets. Additionally, the same app can be run on other platforms such 
as Windows Mobile and Apple iOS for iPhone, iPad and iPod.

The MobiForms Developer can be used standalone or with the MobiForms Sync 
Server as part of the MobiForms Advanced Edition. The MobiForms Sync Server 
enables bi-directional data replication, synchronisation and offline 
buffering between just about any master back office database server or ERP 
package (such as Oracle Apps, SAP, Navision, Dynamics etc.), and any 
MobiForms mobile client running on Google Android or a host of other mobile 
platforms such as Windows Mobile and Apple iOS. Supported back office 
database servers include Oracle, SQL Server, Access, Sybase, IBM DB2, 
SQLite, HSQLDB, MySQL and Firebird.

MobiForms offers all the tools in one "box" for the creation and deployment 
of any type of mobile application - from surveys to field service, from 
signature capture to bar coding.

Unlike most competing products, MobiForms offers a total solution for a 
once off licence fee. The licence includes an unlimited number of MobiForms 
clients running on Tablet PC, Pocket PC, Windows CE, Windows Mobile, 
Windows Smartphone, Google Android and Apple iOS iPhone, iPad and iPod. For 
Apple iOS devices there is a token device registration fee.

The MobiForms Developer or the MobiForms Advanced Edition can be downloaded 
from the MobiForms web site at:

[android-developers] 'share_context' parameter of eglCreateContext()

[Latimerius]

While creating a GLES context for off-screen rendering using
eglCreateContext(), if I set the third parameter ('share_context') to
the window context that's used for ordinary rendering to the screen to
avoid having to upload textures etc. to the new context I get
BAD_MATCH.

EGL spec says BAD_MATCH may be generated by eglCreateContext() if GLES
server context state for all sharing contexts does not exist in a
single address space.  I don't know how to verify this - I believe the
contexts in my case (the window context created by GLSurfaceView and
the other by my code) should meet the requirement, however I'm still
getting BAD_MATCH.

Could someone help me out with this?  Not having to upload everything
to the newly created off-screen context would be a performance boon...

Thanks!

Ah, the usual "almost done, but not quite, and really, wait for the next
version where it'll really work, and pray that your users will have it on
their devices".

Is there something wrong with how Android's release schedule is largely
tied to Google I/O and the Christmas buying season?

This feature works on my 4.0.4, which was released in November - where's
the docs?

I see the developer site received a fancy redesign, surely someone could
find the time to write this up?

I fail to see the use case for this.

Reading the system logs is useful for remotely diagnosing weirdness out on
the user's devices, when one specifically needs the system logs and not
just the app logs.

Do you expect end users to install the development tools and adb in order
to grant this permission, should the need arise?

Pffft.

Well, I think you should.

It took your team about six months to get the Galaxy Nexus to where it 1.
doesn't reboot on its own and 2. is able to accept incoming calls and SMS.

Still, a few times a day I see it freeze for a few seconds and kill the
foreground app, dumping me to Launcher. This happens in Gmail and the
browser - both of which are pre-installed apps, developed at Google.

I don't recall an HTC Hero with 1.6, or a Motorola Milestone with 2.1 doing
anything like this.

Everything after that has been a gradual decline in stability, from one
release to the next.

Speaking as a user, and as a developer both, each new release makes me
think "guess what they broke this time", and this applies to development
tools and Market as well - the whole Android experience.

Is this progress?

Ok, but this also happens on the Galaxy Nexus (which doesn't feature a SD

users who upgraded to Jelly bean.

Re: [android-developers] READ_LOGS permission is not granted to 3rd party applications in Jelly Bean (api 16)

[niko001]

I think that locking out developers from using APIs (and yes, I know that 
it wasn't part of the SDK) for security purposes is an entirely wrong 
approach. Sure, malicious things can be done with reading the logs, but in 
the same vein, a kitchen knife can be used to kill someone. Every API can 
be used for malicious purposes - I would guess that the camera can be used 
to silently take pictures without the user's knowledge, but that doesn't 
mean that developers should be locked out of the Camera API. Malcicous apps 
should be filtered at the source, when being uploaded the Google Play, 
through automatic checks. I know that this is already being done, but 
rather than closing off APIs, these checks should be intensified, if 
malicious apps are still getting through.

There are lots of legitimate reasons for reading the system logs at 
runtime. I could live with a solution as described by Dianne (granting 
access on a per-app basis through the system settings UI), but this should 
have been implemented at the same time as the lockdown of the "old" 
permission. Just because some developers forget to remove logs containing 
sensitive information, everyone else shouldn't be punished for their 
mistake.

It looks like it is, based on my reading of the current source. I have
not tried checking all versions to see if it has always been ordered,
and since it is not documented as being ordered, that behavior is

This is a problem with permissions, not specifically the read logs permission.

The problem with the read logs permission is that it doesn't clearly
map into something the user can think about.

The user can see "reads logs" and may think, "oh, reading things the
device does, like, battery, etc...?"

But doesn't get that it basically can let you monitor when apps start,
plus whatever stupid developers do to like leaking high security data
to a public channel ...

Not having an API for it probably does help, as it makes it to where
some people who would use the information when they shouldn't be just
dont' use it because of the bar to entry (parsing the logs manually),
but does (clearly) make it a tad problematic for people who want to do
legitimate things with it...

Just a side note, not an answer, but 'notify' is a terrible name for a 
method 
on account of it's also the name of a fundamental method of 'Object'. It's 
not illegal, of course, since overloads are permissible, but deucedly 
misleading since, I'm guessing, your 'notify()' has nothing in common 
whatsoever with the standard 'notify()'. 

As for your question,* *I agree with those who suggest that the error lies 
in the lines before or after these, the ones not in your post.

And if you only cleaned your project hoping to eliminate stuck error 
markers, that might not be enough. You might need to rebuild before 
those types of markers vanish.

Oh, right, thanks, I didn't think about this. This is very probably the 
reason for most of the crashes... omg :/

The things I'm passing are parts of a processed / filtered result from a 
webservice, so I can't get them from a singleton or similar, I guess. 
Serialization seems to be the way to go.

Re: [android-developers] Re: READ_LOGS permission is not granted to 3rd party applications in Jelly Bean (api 16)

[Ievgenii Nazaruk]

Personally, as a user I welcome this change. 

My concern was that this wasn't mentioned in changes description. And 
what's more important there is no way to enable READ_LOGS during 
development/testing process. It's good there are (tentative?) plans to 
introduce a way to enable such permissions for developers in later 
releases. It would've been great to have both these changes at the same 
time. But we have what we have.

By the way, thanks for the power + volume down + volume up trick. Didn't 
know it existed. This somewhat mitigates the issue in some cases.

That is an incorrect assumption.

Picture this sequence of events: Activity A starts Activity B, then you
close out the app by pressing Home, then you come back to your app after
some time. In this case, the system will have killed your app (and wiped
your statics) and will start where it last left off, which is Activity B,
bypassing your static initialization and resulting in your null pointers.

You need some sort of lazy initialization or Singleton pattern to ensure
you always load the data you need if it's not already been loaded.

[android-developers] Re: Parameters "passed" using static fields of application become null sometimes

[user123]

But it starts making sense, maybe. The process (VM) is killed, because it 
runs out of memory, or something else, maybe it's killed to fast to send an 
exception to the tracker, and then, there some mechanism in Android to 
restart a new process/VM in order to continue excecuting the app, where it 
stopped. Because it's a different process, my debugger, which is still 
debugging the killed process, doesn't stop on the breakpoints, but I see 
the null pointer exception, which is from the new process. And 
serialization makes sense exactly for this kind of cases, then it's always 
possible to continue excecuting although the process was killed...
hm... sounds good right :) I hope I'm right and serialization fixed the 
issues. If I'm saying something wrong or someone wants to add something, 
please do it.

[android-developers] Re: Parameters "passed" using static fields of application become null sometimes

[user123]

So the system is trying to recover the activity after the VM shutted down, 
and if I serialize/persist the data it will be restarted correctly and the 
app will not crash?

I thought VM crash would be the end of everything and the app would crash 
inevitably after it. I thought that these errors where just some kind of 
post traumatic disorder, and if i fix them the app will crash anways... 
that's why I was looking how to fix the VM crash instead of the null 
pointer.

But you say, although the VM crashes, if the data can be recovered 
everything will run normally, is that right? Then I'll start immediatly to 
serialize all the parameters.

[android-developers] Re: Parameters "passed" using static fields of application become null sometimes

[Nobu Games]

Seriously, instead of waiting for a reply that explains to you all 
different scenarios when and how the VM crashes, you should start coding a 
solution the clean way and either pass over that data via Intent, store it 
in some SharedPreferences object or in a database or something.

You don't necessarily need to implement Parcelable (which is indeed a pain 
in the backside). If your data classes carry just some serializable members 
then add the Serializable interface to them. Serializable objects can also 
be bundled as Intent extras via 
putSerializable().
 
It's pretty much effortless to use.

If your data classes contain contexts or other non-serializable members, 
declare these members as transient:

private transient Context mContext;
>

And on de-serialization in your next Activity you can assign these members 
again.

Java Collections (like your String List in above example) are serializable 
by the way.

[android-developers] Parameters "passed" using static fields of application become null sometimes

[user123]

Since I had some problems implementing Parcelable, and I'm currently very 
short of time, and also wanted to avoid parcelation overload, I decided to 
pass lists, between activities, using static fields of the application. For 
primitive values and objects which are easily serializable (making them 
implement Serializable) I pass using a bundle, like usual.

Now I distributed a test app and got, in my error reports, a high amount of 
crashes, because of null pointer exceptions calling methods on the objects 
stored in these fields.

I implemented them very cleanly, I use variables like:

public static final List paramsListFromAToB;

And Activity B is always started just by Activity A, and I set the 
parameter exactly in the same place where I fill the other bundle data, and 
I read it in B exactly in the same place, where I read the bundle data 
received from A. I of course checked very carefully if the lists, for some 
reason, are null before being passed, but this can't be the case, because 
I'm initializing right before the line and it's impossible it can become 
null, there's also no other thread using it.

I'm developing for API 7.

Now comes the second part of the description, which might be enlightening 
for someone.  A while ago I had myself this problem very repeatedly, and 
found the reason. I was because when activity B loaded, and initalized the 
layout, it ran out of memory, because of bitmaps. I saw in the log an out 
of memory exception, then a message that the virtual machine is exiting, 
and then, for some reason, the following code was excecuted (but in a very 
strange way, because, if I put breakpoint for example to try to debug, it 
didn't stop there), but with the static fields of the Application being 
null, probably, because the VM shutted down, so this object was not 
available anymore.

The strange thing is that, that time, I always got an out of memory 
exception before. Now I only found 1 out of memory exception in the error 
traces, but 7 null pointer exceptions because of the static objects being 
null.

Ok, so what is causing this? Is it still running out of memory, if yes, why 
am I not getting out of memory exception before?

If not, what else can shut down the VM / make this fields null unexpectedly?

Very thankful in advance for every answer and advice. This is really 
urgent, have to launch this soon and can't release this way, it's crashing 
very frequently... don't know how to fix it.

[android-developers] What to do on TransactionTooLargeException

[user123]

I got in error track of an app TransactionTooLargeException. Not 
reproducible and never had it before. In the docs it says

The Binder transaction failed because it was too large.

During a remote procedure call, the arguments and the return value of the 
call are transferred as Parcel objects stored in the Binder transaction 
buffer. If the arguments or the return value are too large to fit in the 
transaction buffer, then the call will fail and 
TransactionTooLargeException will be thrown.

...

There are two possible outcomes when a remote procedure call throws 
TransactionTooLargeException. Either the client was unable to send its 
request to the service (most likely if the arguments were too large to fit 
in the transaction buffer), or the service was unable to send its response 
back to the client (most likely if the return value was too large to fit in 
the transaction buffer).

...

So, ok, somewhere I'm passing or receiving arguments which exceed some 
unknown limit. But where?

The stacktrace doesn't show anything from my files:

It seems to be related with views, because all the Window / View lines? How 
is this related to remote procedure call? How can I look for the reason of 
this error?

In the app I'm using only Webservices, I'm not using Service class, are the 
Webservices the "remote procedure calls" or what else could be...?

Thanks in advance...

P.S. Maybe it's important: Android version: 4.0.3, Device: HTC One X, using 
support package v4, target API 7

Re: [android-developers] READ_LOGS permission is not granted to 3rd party applications in Jelly Bean (api 16)

Let me just respectfully say that I don't understand the decision.
The API is potentially very dangerous, yes, but that is why it requires 
a permission.

OK, I'll bite: how do you do this? Most of the read-the-logs code that
I have seen uses logcat via Runtime#exec(), and I don't see a
command-line switch on logcat to limit output to just your own
process' lines.

(BTW, count me as one of the fans of this decision, despite the very
loud grumblings I expect you will receive from various quarters)

Thanks!

All page content is loaded with HTTP.  Strangely, this static content does

This is really dabatable and a matter of personal opinion...I would have

Re: [android-developers] Re: Get Passwords from Webview

[Nobu Games]

The way I see that in desktop browsers is that they are trying to identify 
login forms in an HTML page with some kind of heuristic. There is no 
standardized way for logging in a user on the Internet. A login form can 
have various shapes, locations, layouts, identifiers assigned, so there is 
no guarantee that this works all the time. But you can get pretty close to 
a workable solution.

So you need to be smart about it and develop heuristics that are able to 
identify login forms in HTML pages. Usually login forms consist of an input 
field that is labeled with something like "user name" or "email address". 
And close to it is another input field of type "password". If you find 
something like that in a form you know what you're dealing with and your 
app needs to store these fields' names.
You also see that you need to support different languages for identifying 
the user name field. You cannot expect that field to be labeled in English 
all the time.

For making it more solid you'll need to store a bit of context. Look for 
the surrounding form tag and store its action attribute because this is a 
sure way to find a login form again in an HTML document even when the 
layout changed a bit.

In any case, if you want to do that based on a WebView, I guess your best 
bet is injecting some JavaScript code after the page is loaded. That 
JavaScript code scans through the current page for finding all form tags 
and tries to figure out, whether these forms are login forms according to 
your heuristic.

Your trojan JavaScript code needs to hook into the onSubmit event handlers 
of these login forms, and when the user submits these forms, read both user 
name and password and transfer that information to your app (see 
documentation about binding JavaScript to your 
app).
 
Your app can then open a popup dialog and ask the user whether (s)he wants 
to store these login credentials.

When the user visits that page again, your trojan JavaScript needs to find 
the matching login form again (by action attribute string for example / and 
other heuristics, you need to experiment with) and automatically fill both 
input fields for user name and password.

Be aware that also the action string URL is not necessarily stable, because 
some websites may add some random token to the URL parameter string. You'll 
have to experiment with the identification of login forms and find ways for 
supporting more and more websites over time.

There is one possible deal-breaker however. I don't know whether WebView 
allows reading password type input fields from JavaScript. It could be 
turned off / disallowed for security reasons. If that's the case, you're 
most likely not able to use WebView for your purposes, unless you're using 
a proxy server that can read out your passwords. That opens a whole other 
can of worms with all security implications and so on. Or if you're lucky 
there is some way to intercept the HTTP requests created by WebView. But I 
doubt that.

By the way, since you are going to handle very sensitive user data, make 
sure to encrypt that data based on a user password string. There are 
sufficiently secure algorithms and implementations in Java out there.

Re: [android-developers] READ_LOGS permission is not granted to 3rd party applications in Jelly Bean (api 16)

OK, I'll bite: how do you do this? Most of the read-the-logs code that
I have seen uses logcat via Runtime#exec(), and I don't see a
command-line switch on logcat to limit output to just your own
process' lines.

(BTW, count me as one of the fans of this decision, despite the very
loud grumblings I expect you will receive from various quarters)

Re: [android-developers] Re: READ_LOGS permission is not granted to 3rd party applications in Jelly Bean (api 16)

[Dianne Hackborn]

Applications accessing the system logs has been a long-standing issue.
 There is various code in the system that tries to trim personal and other
dangerous information out when it prints to the log, but this often misses
things, and just makes the system using the logs much more complicated and
risky.

The logs are also a target for malware, since it can look at what is being
printed there to infer a lot about what is going on in the device.

Plus, as I said, access to the logs has never been any part of the SDK, and
this was very deliberate, because it is not a facility we want applications
to use or feel like we can maintain for applications as the platform
evolves.

If you want the user to give you debugging information, you can have them
generate a bug report with power + volume down + volume up which includes
the logs and lots of other data, and automatically brings up their e-mail
app to sent it all (plus a screenshot).  We were just discussing that we
should have an easier way to generate these as well, I am going to look at
adding something to the settings app.

I also have started introducing the concept of a "development" permission,
which read logs is classified as.  This allows the app to request the
permission, but not get it at install.  You can however grant it with an
adb shell command once it is installed.  At some point later I expect to
have a UI in the system for doing this, but we are going to hold off on
that to be careful about how we present this.

As far as the percentage of devices running JB, if you want to make that
argument then we should just stop doing any improvements now since a few
days after release very few devices will have them.  We consider this a
significant improvement to the security of the platform, and going forward
it is what we want to have.

Re: [android-developers] Re: READ_LOGS permission is not granted to 3rd party applications in Jelly Bean (api 16)

[Kostya Vasilyev]

I have my own logging solution in my app, and even though it's very
useful...

... being able to see the system logs is invaluable and irreplaceable in
some situations.

For example, I recently experienced LVL validation failures and asked the
users to use CatLog (one the of apps on Market that can read and email
logcat output). With the logcat output in hand, it was obvious that the
failure is on Google's side (again!) and I knew what to do about it.

I understand that the Android team's concern, as was previously mentioned
on the list, is for applications that may print personal user's information
in the system log.

Why, then, is the remedy such that it punishes apps that are not in
violation of the user's privacy with their logcat use?

Is the actual install share of JB so high already that this change is
believed to be a meaningful solution?

Re: [android-developers] READ_LOGS permission is not granted to 3rd party applications in Jelly Bean (api 16)

[Dianne Hackborn]

Hi, sorry this didn't get documented.

The change is that third party applications can no longer get the read logs
permission, however every app can read the logs containing only the lines
*they* have written, without needing any permission.

Keep in mind that access to the logs has never been part of the SDK, and is
still not part of the SDK.  If you are relying on it then, even after this
change, you run the risk of breaking in the future.  (And that is partly
why this got lost for documentation, it is not part of the SDK, so there
isn't really a place to document it, in fact documenting it would kind-of
make it a part of the SDK which we don't want. :p)

Also we really really hope that developers don't take this as license to
further abuse the system logs and spew increasing amounts of stuff into it
from their app.  Log noise has been a continual problem on Android (not
just for third party apps, we always struggle to ship the open source
platform without a lot of noise), and if things continue to get worse we
will probably make further changes to it to better control it.

[Nobu Games]

This looks like a simple file permission problem. The SDK tools are not 
allowed to create any files / directories in that path. You can very easily 
fix that problem by downloading / installing the SDK somewhere in your user 
home directory or change the file system permissions / ownership for that 
directory and all contained sub-directories and files. Ownership / 
permissions have to match your user or user group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: READ_LOGS permission is not granted to 3rd party applications in Jelly Bean (api 16)

[Latimerius]

The upcoming ACRA release will (probably) contain the ability to
include a custom application-private log file in a report.  So if you
only care for reading the system log to read your own log messages,
that should be taken care of.  Of course, if you really want to read
the actual stuff logged by the system and other apps, that's going to
be tougher.

[android-developers] Regarding Packagemanager..?

[Abhilash baddam]

Hi,

I came to know that after booting device, all the system apps and market
apps( if there) will be loaded right. These all things will be handled by
PackageManager means which are the already installed apps, based on that it
will load all the apps. But how the PackageManager gets the information
about installed apps in the device. I want to know to know more about
PackageMAnager. I have gone through developer.android.com, but I want to
know more about this.  Can anybody help me regarding on the same.

[android-developers] Re: READ_LOGS permission is not granted to 3rd party applications in Jelly Bean (api 16)

[b0b]

The thing is that it is better to not rely on READ_LOGS to (for example) 
provide logs to ACRA.
The bonus is that your app will not need that permission which is kind of 
scary.

How can it be done ?

- wrap all your logging calls into functions adding your log message + any 
other metadata (like tag or timestamp) to a cache were you keep the last n  
log lines. Can be done with a simple LinkedHashMap overriding 
removeEldestEntry().
- modify ACRA by  adding a custom column that will contain the content of 
the log cache. When the crash report is constructed, fill that column with 
the cache data
- profit!

Re: [android-developers]

[Kristopher Micinski]

Of course, whenever you get a new location fix, the listener will call
your onLocationUpdate function, at that point you tell your web
service (by perhaps using something like AndroidHttpClient) your new
location.

[android-developers] Flip Gesture on ListView

[Michael Leung]

Hi,
  I am building a Flip Gesture on ListView. Is it a standard control to do
that? If there is not a standard control, should I build the gesture on
listview or list item adapter? I tried some example for flip gesture on
ListView, but they can't check which item the flip applied on. Does anyone
have some ideas?

[android-developers] App claims to have stopped then instantly starts afterward?

[Cythes]

Right now I am in the process of working out this little "bug" as I want to 
call it. I'm almost certain that it is a manifest issues so I will post the 
code to the manifest down below. Going on what the title says. When I load 
my app into the emulator it installs just fine, but as soon as it goes to 
start it stops but then starts right afterward? At this point in time I am 
working on trying to make the app in question run in the background. Here 
is the manifest file since I have deduced that it is an issue in here:

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
package="path.to.this"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >






























Maybe I'm calling something wrong?

[android-developers] Playing Sound

[limtc]

Hi,

I have a few questions related to sound playback in game.

- is using AsyncPlayer faster than MediaPlayer for playing background MP3 
music? I guess so since it should run in another thread and it is possible 
that a multiple core CPU uses another core to play the music?

- is SoundPool a good choice for playing short sample sounds (explosion 
sound, etc)? My test last year with an Android 1.6/2.1 phone is that it is 
pretty buggy and can cause some phones to crash when playing multiple 
sounds at the same time, is it more reliable nowadays? I am currently using 
MediaPlayer and wonder whether it is worth switching to this.

Thanks!

[android-developers] 401 when trying to send GCM message to registered device

[Damien Cooke]

Hi all,
I am having some difficulties with GCM for android.  


Here is what I am sending:

I am using Glassfish as my appserver.

{"collapse_key":"AIzaSyADq3b8Tm-NZiImXGy8ngdsXXX","data":{"type":"CR","msg":"Hello
 
world"},"registration_ids":["APA91bE_oaTf0xHkphMVlMwmviwAn6Nefnd1R36W9wDO29T7p7yJ_W0S9x7MhfMWeL6yCfrvI3r_VdUJnmsZUUzvKeeDUWLSSZHf4YW91SU8yShBo8KOaeS1A20mQn_WEAqwzC9vQhFk8uM_tTq_B_THXXX"]}

I have used the key for browser apps as the collapse key

Has anyone got any idea why I might be getting a 401?


Regards
Damien

ACRA does not need READ_LOGS. Certain ACRA features might need READ_LOGS.
I think we can all agree that one main feature of this library (and 
others) is the ability to read/send the logs.


It appears in the new source code. The protectionLevel for READ_LOGS 
is now "signature|system|development". The new pipe syntax for 
protectionLevel is also undocumented (see

Thank you for this.
This is extremely unfortunate.
