I have not granted SMS permission to WhatsApp on my device HonorView10 running on EMUI9 . Recently I changed the number registered with WhatsApp and it send the verification code to new number (the sim is on same device as it is dual SIM). WhatsApp read the SMS and completed the verification process. Is it possible in Android to read SMS without permission? Or it is bug in EMUI9? I am just curious. WhatsApp could access SMS without having permission to it I think whats app is using SMS Retriever API SMS Retriever API With the SMS Retriever API, you can perform SMS-based user verification in

I am setting my targetSdkVersion to 23 and therefore I want to implement "Requesting permissions at runtime". (see here ) Lint directly calls out if you forget to check the permission and tells you the following: Call requires permission which may be rejected by user: code should explicitly check to see if permission is available (with checkPermission ) or explicitly handle a potential `SecurityException' This is quite nice and I want to analyze my code for any call that I may have forgotten, but I can't find Lint option that I have to select in my Inspection profile. How is the inspection

I'm working on a video calling app and I have an 'incoming call' screen which alerts the user when someone is calling them. This screen is an Activity triggered by an incoming GCM and has noHistory="true" and showOnLockScreen="true" set in the manifest so that the user can engage in calls without having to unlock their device. If the user chooses to accept the call, I launch another activity to engage in the actual call. However, before I launch the second activity I check that the necessary permissions (camera, mic etc) are present and request them if not. This is where the problems arise.

This question already has answers here : Is it available to set checkSelfPermission on minimum SDK < 23? (5 answers) One of my app has a permission RECORD_AUDIO and my app's targetSdkVersion is 22. I cannot check permission at runtime. But I notice if I install my app in Android 6.0 and above. Users can manually deny permission in System App permissions Settings. So my question is how can I check whether my app is grand Audio permission under API level 23? I have searched for quite a long time but only find some document about how to check permission in Android M. I have noticed context has a

I'm building an application which gives this exception because i call some internal methods Permission Denial: Do not have permission in call getContentProviderExternal() from pid=2520, uid=10047 requires android.permission.ACCESS_CONTENT_PROVIDERS_EXTERNALLY java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: Do not have permission in call getContentProviderExternal() from pid=2520, uid=10047 requires android.permission.ACCESS_CONTENT_PROVIDERS_EXTERNALLY I did some search and i knew that android OS gives this permission only for the shell users, I wonder if there exists any workaround this .. Is

I'm applying Android 6.0 runtime permissions into an app which listens to carrier data connection state changes. I first tried to just remove the READ_PHONE_STATE from the manifest to check where the app requires the permission. To my surprise the app didn't crash at all. After this I've tried the same installation on two pre 6.0 devices which did actually crash on it. To me it seems like Android 6.0 does no longer require the permission. Is there any way to confirm this? The line below is the one on which the pre 6.0 devices crashes: tm(TelephonyManager).listen(this, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN
