I'm currently working on integrating Firebase Analytics into my android app. The problem that I'm encountering is that Firebase adds some new permissions. These permissions are permission.WAKE_LOCK com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE My question is: What happens when the user wants to (automatically) update my app in pre Marshmallow versions? Is he asked for permission or not, because it is a normal permission? In post Marshmallow the documentation is quite clear. It simply doesn't ask the user at all, because it is a normal permission ( https://developer.android.com/guide/topics

Is it possible to create Android app which can be downloaded from google play only by phone not tablet? The answer for this always brings up the question of what you define as a "tablet". Do you include things like the Galaxy Note? It's still technically a phone but it's kind of on the borderline. My question would be what conditions make you want to restrict it? If you simply want to require that it be able to make calls, you can add a feature tag to your manifest: <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony"/> Which will require the device to have the dialer and a data network

I have an android code which can work well on Android 5.0 version. My AndroidManifest.xml is <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BROADCAST_STICKY" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" /> However, my

Are there any permissions I can/must declare in my app, if I want the app to be able to scan the whole "/" folder (say to search for all .txt files e.g. recursively)? I am getting just null so far (when calling File.listFiles ) no matter what permissions I try. I guess I am missing something. Unless you root your device, it is impossible to do any operations on the root directory on a non-rooted device because a third party app will run as a normal user and won't have the root permissions. However, according to https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission , android

I was not able to find here solution to read/write problem on Android File manager application I am trying to create. When running on real device, I am not able to delete a file from SD card. Could anyone guide me, what am I doing wrong and how to fix the permissions? I have added read/write permissions to AndroidManifest.xml <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> but anyway, I am getting this error message: avc: denied { read } for name="/" dev="rootfs" ino=1 scontext=u:r:untrusted_app for dependencies I am using: compile 'org.apache.directory.studio:org

Background: Android 5 introduced a new UsageStats API that can be used to query time spent with different apps. This API is used in several apps for detecting the current foreground app (as discussed in several questions, like this ), but: This API requires the permission android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS, which is a system-level permission and will not be granted to third-party apps. However, declaring the permission implies intention to use the API and the user of the device can grant permission through the Settings application. As the permission is not presented to the user, apps send

I developed and Instant App which one I would like to take a picture with the camera. Everything work if I launch the Installed App . But with Instant App , I get the following error : java.lang.SecurityException: Not allowed to start activity Intent { act=android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE launchParam=MultiScreenLaunchParams { mDisplayId=0 mFlags=0 } Here my code : AndroidManifest.xml <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> Activity : private static int CAMERA_REQUEST = 1234; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

I am developing an application for tablet only, where the requirement is to run the app on the full screen of the tablet. For this I have used following code in my main activity: getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); This code snippet only removes the title bar and action bar. But in tablets, there is a bottom system bar (having home and back button). I also want to remove or hide this system bar too. I have searched but there is only following solution: There is no API
