I am trying to get a list of currently running apps on my phone. Here is the code I am using: if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) { UsageStatsManager usm = (UsageStatsManager)this.getSystemService(Context.USAGE_STATS_SERVICE); long time = System.currentTimeMillis(); List<UsageStats> appList = usm.queryUsageStats(UsageStatsManager.INTERVAL_DAILY, time - 10000*10000, time); if (appList != null && appList.size() == 0) { Log.d("Executed app", "######### NO APP FOUND ##########" ); } if (appList != null && appList.size() > 0) { SortedMap<Long, UsageStats

This question already has answers here : Android 6.0 Permission Error (5 answers) Closed 4 years ago . Yesterday I set upped target and compile sdk to 23 API level. When I launched the app on Nexus 9 with Preview Android M (MPA441) the app crashes with following SecurityException : FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.grouplogic.mobilecho, PID: 22554 java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create application com.mypackage.MyApplication: java.lang.SecurityException: getDeviceId: Neither user 10098 nor current process has android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE. at android.app.ActivityThread

I developed an app which needs to get the android.permission.UPDATE_DEVICE_STATS permission. However, when I add this permission to my app's AndroidMainfest.xml file, I get this error: "Permission is only granted to system apps" What can I do to change my app to system app? Are there any other ways to solve this problem? Timmetje Most importantly to know: A system app can only be run by people who have rooted their device.

In my application, I can receive android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE but can't receive Intent.ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL on android O . If I use android N or android M everything work fine. I have register first broadcast in AndroidManifest file and second in foreground service , but none of them can receive Intent.ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL , only can receive android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE . If anyone know how to fix it, please post your answer, thanks in advance. Arnav M. But I am still confused, because my phone not ask me to give the permission but work fine. Maybe a bug or feature of android

My app requires to access CAMERA and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions. Once my app loads I want to ask user to allow both of these permissions one after another. I have this code: if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 2); } if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission

I have a device admin app that uses the following device-admin.xml <device-admin xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <uses-policies> <watch-login /> <reset-password /> <force-lock /> <wipe-data /> </uses-policies> </device-admin> Some users has already activated the device admin permissions. Now, in an update of the app, I want to add a new uses-policy <limit-password /> I am wondering how to detect that new use policies have been added programmatically so that we push the reactivation of the device admin permissions? AFAIK the only way is read your device-admin.xml
