While android devices would likely not be susceptible to something specifically targeting a particular desktop OS, they are potentially susceptible to similar attacks, exploiting either the same style of vulnerability of potentially even the exact same vulnerability with only the code-to-be-injected needing to be customized for android. - An exploit of the web browser could lead to arbitrary code executed as the browser UID. This could result in the loss of stored credentials for other sites, or set the stage for an attempt to exploit the android system itself to gain more privileged (root) access.

[android-developers] HW accelerated video decoding lets OpenGL drop to 35fps
Hi all, i wrote a small application that has a openGL part (GLSurfaceView) and a video part (VideoView). When i run the openGL part everything is ok and the framerate is constantly at 60fps. But when i add a VideoView on top of the GLSufaceView and start it, the openGL framerate drops down to ~35fps. I looked at the CPU load, but it was ~20% in general, so CPU cannot be the problem i guess. I also used the WindowManager.addView(...) to have a seperate window. Nothing worked, fps still dropped down. To check whether i wrote some bad code, i reused the ApiDemos that come with the SDK and modified it to have a VideoView on top of the OpenGL ES 2.0 demo. Still with the same result. So can anyone hint me, where i'm wrong? Or is this a technical restriction and i can do nothing about it? Many thanks in advance for your help.

You very rarely see apps in the wild that have a larger footprint than 20mb and some devices like the G1 only have 70mb of storage TOTAL for all apps. So you're basically asking someone to remove everything from their device to load your app. Yes, traditional versions of android it would indeed be preferable to download the large dataset seperately and store it on the external storage (sdcard). However, for devices which permit installation to external storge or for honeycomb and later where it's all the same pool of flash blocks anyway, the difference would be a short initial download followed by a long data download within the app when it is first run. While it's tempting to think that data delivered in the apk is more secure, it's fairly trivial to extract. However data placed in external storage can be modified more easily, so might need a fingerprint check. My observation is: When the asset folder contains around 80mb of files, the app works nicely both on the emulator and on my nexus one. When it's larger than 80mb it crashes on both devices. the devises are running 2.3.3 Api level 10 (but it happens on 3.2, too). http://raphaelbauer.com Just to make sure the problem is on the running end and not the building end, it could be worth opening the apk (it's just a carefully constructed zip file with a funny name) on a pc and verifying that all the files are there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to change device file permission from Java app.
On Tuesday, August 9, 2011 7:17:30 AM UTC-4, Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) wrote: Has this been done for security reasons ? Probably. Unlikely, as it can be done with the ndk, and we are repeatedly told that the ndk does not have special permissions. Most likely they just didn't bother implementing support in javaj for something that wasn't envisioned as needed. Which means if an application downloads some bytes and writes to a file created through the below code File destination = new File (/sdcard/myfile.txt); there is no way to change permissions of 'myfile.txt' to 777 ? First, nobody uses /sdcard, since it is wrong. Use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(). Second, nobody bothers to try to change Linux file permissions on external storage, since for the vast majority of current devices, that's FAT32 (vfat in Linux-ese), and file permissions do not matter much on that filesystem. However, on internal storage where permissions matter, the java file creation tools do let you set the permissions to some extent (ie, various android presets, but not full unix bit-level control) There is a 'Runtime' facility provided through java.lang, but I'm skeptical whether to use this or not. Runtime would only work on rooted devices right? More importantly, you cannot reliably change permission bits that way either. The runtime facility does not require root, though it's perhaps not future-proof since it's not officially supported. It's also needlessly roundabout. A better way to do it would be to invoke an ndk subroutine through jni which uses the chmod() syscall. There's nothing even slightly improper about doing that. first place. I have no idea what you think change the permission of lcd device file permission, but it has nothing to do with the Android SDK. This may be the only real problem - the device files are certainly not owned by application users, and so cannot have their permissions changed by one. (_That_ might be the reason the task would require an ability to execute a stand alone program as root) Ordinary files owned by an application user id and residing on a filesystem where it is meaningful can however have their permission bits changed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] 2.3 power management killing background services
According to http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.3-highlights.html there are now circumstances other than low system memory that can result in background services being killed: The Android system takes a more active role in managing apps that are keeping the device awake for too long or that are consuming CPU while running in the background. By managing such apps — closing them if appropriate — the system helps ensure best possible performance and maximum battery life.

[android-developers] Override android.location.Geocoder on a per-app basis?
I have an app where I want to implement a function that takes a latitude longitude pair and return a place associated with those coordinates. The android.location.Geocoder interface is exactly what I need, but the documentation includes the following note: The Geocoder class requires a backend service that is not included in the core android framework. I assume in most Android devices, this backend is powered using the Google Maps infrastructure. Instead of using Google Maps to determine the relevant places, I'd rather have a fully-offline implementation that implements a simpler scheme that I'm using in my app. Basically, all I want to do is map location coordinates to a handful ( 10) regions in the world that I can determine from the coordinates themselves without an offline call to Google's services. (In addition to offline access, I also want to support non-Google sanctioned devices like the Nook.) The simplest solution would be to ignore Geocoder altogether (and just use a custom lookup method), but in the spirit of doing things the Android way, I was wondering if it was possible to override the system provider Context.LOCATION_SERVICE with one of my own and have Geocoder use my implementation (just for my own app). Please keep in mind, I'm a simple app developer using stock devices - not a device manufacturer. :-) Thanks in advance, -Chris Karr -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Service Being paused on screen off.
Thanks for the answers, Makes sense now, I am using the myTouch 4g and LG ally, sadly both of them I guess turn off their sensors.

This was changed on 2.3, though it's possible we are actually going to end up regretting that change. :p Also even as of 2.3, I wouldn't be surprised if some device's drivers are still turning off the sensor hardware as part of their power management when the screen goes off.
