Re: [android-developers] Still trying to get my head around permissions - can anybody help?

I'll try again: I'm not sure if I completely grasp the Android permissions model. I recently started working on a simple widget to put the phone to sleep. Of course, it always gets a security exception because an ordinary user app isn't allowed to call the PowerManager method 'goToSleep' because it's requires the 'signature' level permission DEVICE_POWER. But I could find nowhere in the docs or on Google that officially says that. Is there some document that lists the permission levels of android platform defined permissions? Or, am I looking at permissions completely wrong? I'm brand new to Android development myself, so I could be completely wrong here. I suspect that it isn't a permissions issue as much as it is a restrict API issue. As you state above, ordinary applications aren't allowed to call the goToSleep(). What I think you want is the list of restricted API calls, or rather a list of the internal to Google content providers. By examining the source code you could discover these and perhaps utilize them, but at your own peril. Was a widget to put the phone to sleep a learning exercise or part of an application you wanted to develop?

A quick Google search for get ip address in android app led me to this tread: http://osdir.com/ml/AndroidDevelopers/2009-03/msg02701.html And the android.net.wifi.getMacAddress() returns a string with the device MAC address. Mark P. S. You might consider not replying to an existing thread with a new topic. Better, perhaps, to start a new thread so your question doesn't get lost or ignored. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
