Android READ_GMAIL permission

I can successfully retrieve an attachment in Gmail when I use strictly Android development.
However, if I use an ANE, within an AIR app, to pass the data in an InvokeEvent to an Android activity, I no longer have permission... even though it is set in the manifest.
Error:
W/ActivityManager(167): Permission Denial: opening provider com.google.android.gm.provider.MailProvider from ProcessRecord{41c40fa0 6108:air.com.my.wonderful.app.debug/10089} (pid=6108, uid=10089) requires com.google.android.gm.permission.READ_GMAIL or com.google.android.gm.permission.WRITE_GMAIL
I have added both permissions in my AIR manifest and ANE manifest. I have also tried it without.
Oddly, I do not need to add it to the Android Manifest in my alternate Android Only app, which I use as a test ( no AIR involved ).
I have also tried firing up a new Activity in Android from the ANE but it also does not work.
In Android, the ContentResolver and Activity are created from the FREContext used for the ANE.
Anyone else experience this or have thoughts toward a solution?
( In case there is a suggestion to catch the Intent in Android first and pass it along via a custom URI or other means.. I am trying to avoid that at this time so as to be able to handle the InvokeEvent in AIR first. )
Thanks for any leads.

Why does Photoshop Touch for Android want permission to disable my keylock?

Yesterday I was notified by my Android tablet that there was a manual update available for Photoshop Touch. Usually I install such updates immediately, but this one gave me pause. Among the new permissions the app was requesting was this one:
DISABLE KEYLOCK
Allows the app to disable the keylock and any associated password security. A legitimate example of this is the phone disabling the keylock when receiving an incoming phone call, then re-enabling the keylock when the call is finished.
This makes me nervous, to say the very least. Under normal circumstances I would never ever install an app that requested this permission. However, since this is an app I've been using for a while from a big company like Adobe, I'm willing to consider it. But I'd like an explanation - why is this permission needed?

I came here looking for an answer to this exact question, as the requested permission gave me pause as well. However, I'm not satisfied by the answer. If the permission is not required by the app, why was it not removed? The answer suggests it may be used for a feature in the future. In that case, I would still like to know what that is if I am being asked to grant this permission now, rather than being given the option to consider it at that time.

How can I download Firefox for my Android but decline Google's policy block?

Google demands that I accept all the policies they list before I can download Mozilla Firefox. The reason I want Firefox is because Firefox respects my privacy. Google does not respect my privacy and wants to sell my stats. THAT is the reason I want Firefox! How can I download Firefox & decline Google's unacceptable demands?

By default you cannot. Android's permission model is based on you trusting the app you are installing to use the permissions it asks for with care.
If you are willing to root your phone and install a custom version of the Android operating system CyanogenMod allows you to granularly approve and revoke permissions from the app you are running.
This is a somewhat dangerous process and if the wrong things happen you could wreck your phone.

Problem sending notification message to Android and iOS devices with azure messaging dll

We are a Bizspark customer andfor the past two days we are facing problem in Azure Notification Hub. We were trying to
send push notifications to Android devices registered in "seexxxxxxwams" - An Azure Mobile Service in our account and no
registered android devices are receiving the notifications. When we tried to debug it via Notification Hub in Azure Portal (seexxxxxxwamshub
- Notification hub in our account), the results are showing that the notifications are sent to the devices. However, the devices
are not receiving the notifications which was receiving before.
Kindly let us know whether we are missing something in our code (Please find the code below) or is there any problem in Azure Notification
Hub (for Android GCM).
Thanks.

Hi Anpe83,
TL;DR: The answer: Currently, no.
As we speak, there is RMS Sharing app for all mobile platforms you mentioned. RMS Sharing App lets you open any file type that is a .pfile (generic file created by RMS Sharing App on your PC). But this is not a granular protection and policy enforcement
- you can think about this way of protecting as a .zip file that has been password protected. So once you "unzip" the pfile with RMS Sharing App - you can do whatever you want (open in a native mobile app, forward, edit, copy, delete, etc) with that file.
Now, RMS Sharing App lets you protect pictures only on your mobile devices which I assume you will not be a feature used very often.
On the other hand Microsoft has published Office suite (Word, Excel, etc) for iOS devices (iPhone and iPad).
Currently (this is the key word here) those are NOT RMS enlighted yet, so f.e. no word document that is RMS protected can be opened with your Office suite for iOs. I also know that Microsoft is preparing an update for iOS devices in the nereast
future to make Office suites (including OWA app) RMS-aware.
PS. For the current time being there are some third parties that extend RMS capabilities to your mobile device platforms. You can also wait few months (unfortunately cannot promise that) for RMS enlighted Microsoft apps for iOS devices.
PS2. If you haven't heard you can also set RMS Sharing App to work withi your ADRMS which is onprem (not only with RMS in the cloud). For those you need some cool toys: Windows 2012 R2, ADFS 3.0 and RMS Mobile Device Extension.
Hope this answers your question.

Need some help with ANE on Android

I'm trying to use a push notification ANE inside a mobile app for Android. My app keeps crashing on the device.
Here's the error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate receiver com.doitflash.air.extensions.gcm.BroadcastReceive: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.doitflash.air.extensions.gcm.BroadcastReceive"
I feel I have placed the ANE in the proper "native extension" panel and my manifest.xml looks good.
The app will open OK on the device, the error comes when I press the register button, which calls code on the ANE.
Is there any special tricks to packaging the ANE inside an app, maybe I missed something.
Using Flash Builder 4.7
Apache Flex 10, Air 3.8
The ANE is from: http://myappsnippet.com/gcm/
Jerry

Here is my setup in Flash Builder:
1- In the "Native Extensions" panel (Flex Build Path) I added the 'gcmExtension.ane"
2- In the "Library path" panel (Flex Build Path) I added the 'gcmExtensions.swc"
3- Under "Flex Build Packaging"native extensions tab it shows gcmExtentions.ane with the "package" checkbox selected.
4- Also under "Flex Build Packaging" I have a certificate.
The app loads fine onto my Android device, I get the java RuntimeException error when I press the "register" button.
I'm not sure what you are referring to by com folder, I assume you mean the swc file.

[Sdk-Free]Raise your income with free Android application via number of downloads

Hello everyone!
I’ve found out a way to get money from free applications uploaded to market. By using a SDK to integrate some code into your application, you can get some cents through number of downloads. Each time an user download your application, you get 0.05$ for American user or 0.01$ for user in other countries.
For more information, you can register an account via the link below, then login and freely learn about this SDK. Just only one integrated line of code, only activated at the first time your application run on devices, this is so handy and barely affects users’ experience.
Link to register: http://startapp.com/rfim2de
That means using this SDK won’t affect any ads services at all (like Admob).
I used this SDK and my income was raised significantly. With the additional income from Admob I can get nice amount each month.
I hope this will be a new way to get money for free application developers.
If you still doubt me, you can download my app in this link below to check:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=HNYD#?t=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDEwMiwiY29tLm hueWR0ZWFtLmNoZXNzdm4iXQ..
To get used with this SDK quickly you can read my tutorial here:
Step 1: Register an account
Click on: http://startapp.com/rfim2de, you’ll see the registration form:
[img]http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/hnyd/register_zpse4ab882f.png[/img]
Fill your information and click “Create account”, then you’ll finish step 1.
Step 2: Download the SDK
After logging in, you’ll be redirected to your management page. There’s 2 ways to download the SDK.
Add an application by selecting “Add App”, fill the details, URL to the application then select “Next”. Choose “Full Intergration”. That’s all.
Or: Download this file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?56dz18a3gd2tdt7
Step 3: Integrate the SDK into your application
- Inject SDK into your app:
+ Right click on your apps, choose “Properties”
+ Inject the SDK like the picture below
[img]http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/hnyd/libraries_zpsc25292af.png[/img]
+ Move to the “Order and Export” tab and select like below:
[img]http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/hnyd/order_zps2c6112b8.png[/img]
Step 4: Insert information into Manifest file
+ Add the following lines to your Manifest file (just copy & paste):
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.browser.permission.WRITE_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.browser.permission.READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.motorola.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.motorola.dlauncher.permission.READ_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.fede.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.lge.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="org.adw.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.motorola.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.motorola.dlauncher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.lge.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT"/>
Note: if you choose “partial integration”, delete the following permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.browser.permission.WRITE_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.browser.permission.READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS"/>
+ In Application tag add the following lines:
<service android:enabled="true" android:name="com.apperhand.device.android.AndroidSDKProvider"/>
<activity android:name="com.apperhand.device.android.EULAActivity"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation" />
<meta-data android:name="com.startapp.android.DEV_ID" android:value= "<Your Developer ID>"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.startapp.android.APP_ID" android:value= "<Your App ID>"/>
To get your developer ID and Your App ID:
Developer ID is on the top-right corner:
[/img]http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/hnyd/devid_zps0179e011.png[/img]
App ID: select Dashboard and get App ID like this:
[img]http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o756/hnyd/appid_zps6fac29e9.png[/img]
Step 5: Modify your code
Just add this line in your Main Activity:
AndroidSDKProvider.initSDK(this);
Done, congratulation. Just after the first time you’ll get used to it, like a piece of cake..

How do I inport bookmarks from my other browsers?

How do I inport bookmarks from my other browsers?

Due to Android's permission model it is only possible to import bookmarks from the Stock Android Browser or Chrome for Android.
You can find that option by tapping on the three dot menu or pressing your phone's menu button. Selecting 'Settings'. Select 'Customize'. Select 'import from Android.

Any News from Adobe Air SDK, on why we still can't REMOVE "android.permission.INTERNET" from a release compile?

Is there any new developments on the Adobe Air issue, of being able to COMPLETELY REMOVE the "android.permission.INTERNET" from the manifest file? As of today, you can still completely remove the "android.permission.INTERNET" from the manifest, bundle your app with Captive Runtime, and Adobe Air SDK will still "tack" the permission onto the end of the manifest block. With users and privacy concerns these days, surely Adobe would recognize that developers building apps that DO NOT REQUIRE Network Access, should be able to remove that permission. Any help on this?

I see Flash will now be able to export iPhone apps directly. Although Flash itself will still not run on the iPhone. It would be great if Director had that functionality a well. Even better if apps could run on both the iPhone and Blackberry!

Android apps keep showing up in background despite having permission turned off

When I start Taskmanager I keep finding these random Android apps running that have no permission to do so in the background OR as minimized apps. I keep having to close them. A few minutes later, one or more of them are running again. These are apps, not background processes. I've checked app permissions have have turned off "run minimized" and they don't have "run in background" settings.   I have rebooted many times and they keep popping up. BB 10.3.1, Bell, Z30, up to date.

Which apps?
I use the Advanced Task Manager Free from the Amazon app store, and set it on a kill backgound apps every XX minutes (mine is set to 30, I think).

Realtime Privacy Monitoring on Smartphones Android sends out info without permission

Realtime Privacy Monitoring on Smartphones Android sends out info without permission
http://appanalysis.org/
I think it si time for verizon to put a stop to ths NOW

w40d....you are right about that. this is why i wish these types of "studies" wouldn't print things like "30 popular or heavily used apps." i'd like them to actually LIST the 30 apps that they studied. then show tell us, which 15, of the 30, were sharing info. it's possible that none of the preinstalled apps are on that list. if any of them were the preinstalled apps from vzn, then i'd have a much bigger problem with it. THEN i would get up on my soapbox. but we don't know that skype, or any of the other preinstalled apps are sharing info. we only know that about half of the ones they studies do it. if the only ones that are doing this are ones that we have to download, then it's up to us to dis that app. i often see comments when looking into an app to the affect of "why does it need this info....uninstalled" etc, etc. the app will tell you what it needs. if a simple game wants your location then you have to wonder why. it doesn't need your location to function as designed, so i would assume it's sharing it with someone.

Android, backspace doesn't work properly in a flash.text.TextField

Hello,
I have a bug on my Nexus 5 Android 4.4 Air 4.0.
when I scroll the text in the textField and I select the text (in my example near "subclass" word), the TextField get focus, if I put on the backspace key, the character deleted is the previous character the first time, and if I put again on the backspace key, the caracter deleted is the first character and not the previous character.

You can apply Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) styles to text fields by using the TextField.styleSheet property and the StyleSheet class. You can use CSS to style built-in HTML tags, define new formatting tags, or apply styles. You can assign HTML formatted text, which optionally uses CSS styles, directly to a text field. HTML text that you assign to a text field can contain embedded media (movie clips, SWF files, GIF files, PNG files, and JPEG files).

Making an Arch Linux wiki-reader Android app - Looking for some advice

Hey guys, hopefully this is an ok place to post this. I've just finished a beginning Java course and I'm starting on the next one. I'm learning Java with the intention of creating Android applications as a hobby. Since I've found myself accessing the wiki from my phone on many occasions, and this doesn't seem overly difficult, I think this is a good place to start.
I've been playing with this idea for a couple of weeks and I'm trying to determine the best way to approach this. I'm looking for any pointers/advice from a development standpoint and any (potential) user feedback as well.
So far, with the help of other Archers, I have come up with the following three options:
1) Obvious choice- Connect to the actual wiki online
Pros:
+Always up to date
+Small application size
Cons:
-More difficult to strip current style and "mobilize" layout (there is a lot of clutter and links to outside of the wiki)
-More permissions that other choices
-Requires internet connection
2) Use the arch-wiki-docs package
Pros:
+Offline
+Easier to add css styles
+Hopefully would require zero permissions
Cons:
-Application would be large ~40MB (Maybe it could be reduced by removing non-english languages?)
-Not up to date, but pretty close
3) Use the arch-wiki-lite package
Pros:
+Offline
+Small application size
+Hopefully would require zero permission
+More of a native android application feel instead of a dedicated webpage reader
Cons:
-No links to other pages
-Would need to create style/layout from scratch
-Not really sure how this would work (Searching, etc)
-Not up to date, but pretty close
Right now I'm leaning towards the second option, but only if I can figure out an automated way to strip down the html pages and remove the non-english pages. I'm thinking that I'll start with an English only version, then add international support (or a second version) later on if people want it. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for the response!
rickeyski wrote: 1. Any app you make will require you to generate your own layouts android uses xml layouts there are webviews, which provide some of this functionality if you need to use html, however this will require online access.
The arch-wiki-docs package is in HTML and I'm using WebView to read it locally. The arch-wiki-lite package is a text file. Maybe I could import it into a database? Either way, using that package will require me to create the whole layout.
rickeyski wrote: 2 you could use a wrapper like phonegap, but that would me writing everything in html, css, javascript and you will use virtually none of your java.
I've used Titanium Studio before, which I think is pretty similar to Phonegap, but I do want to make this one with Java.
rickeyski wrote: 3. 40 mb is a huge app, granted its before compression, but its also before all of your code and layouts to make it work.. You would be limiting yourself to only the newest androids, don't know which phone you have in mind, but might not be a problem for you.
40MB is the compressed size. The html docs are over 100MB uncompressed. I think I could significantly reduce the size by removing the non-english pages, but I can't figure out a systematic way to find them. There are 3551 pages and they use names like 00000965.html, 00000967.html, 00000968.html, 00000974.html, etc. (Of those 967 isn't english, but the other three are.)
rickeyski wrote: 4. the biggest plus is the android docs and examples apps are very good, start reading.
Yup. I've been reading through those a lot. They are a big help.

Firefox Beta quits on my android. no crash - just quits - is there a fix for this yet?

This thread is apparently abandoned by the support people.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026282#answer-643651
so I'm starting it again with some details from the other thread...
Galaxy S4 Model ISGH-M919 Android 4.2.2 Baseband M919UVUAMDL Kernel 3.4.0-453951 se.infra@SEP-133 #1 Fri Apr 26 16:55.54 KST 2013 Build JDQ39.M919UVUAMDL-iwireless1.2 SELinux status permissive
on 10/16/14 started quitting on any website. no crash notice. App just quits. uninstalled on 10/17/14 and reinstalled with no add-ons from Google Play Store No change - Firefox runs as long as it is not connected to the web. Shows history - bookmark - etc. Soon as it connects on the internet it quits. Connecting via wireless network. I have uninstalled it so I can use the internet
I got this suggestion but was unable to duplicate all the steps...
Ok so I tried this finally and got it to work: this might be long but a shortened version:
. Connect the device to the computer via usb.
2. In android settings go to About device and double tap on build id 7 times
3. Go back and now see the developer menu
4. Open and enable remote debugging
5. Open up Firefox on the android go to settings > devloper tools and check remote debugging
6. From Desktop go to Tools > Connect
7. Open Tools > Console
8. Click on gear and on the far right click on "Remote debugging for this session only"
9. [adb sdk install required] in a terminal window
adb devices
make sure a device is listed.
10. On desktop in the window that openned up when you opened up connect click on connect
11. Immediately after run this in the terminal:
adb forward tcp:6000 localfilesystem:/data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/firefox-debugger-socket
12. On the device hit enable on the connection
13. should be connected on the connect and click on the remote tabs.
14 the logs will start to show up in the console.
15. If you need adb log cat logs run in the terminal before you start to test:
adb logcat > text.txt
do you thing, and attach it to a bug.
Here was my response:
I'm getting lost on #6 What "Tools" are you talking about?
I am using a laptop btw. Windows 8.1
Thanks
This is where it stopped... some fool got on that thread and was being obnoxious - so I hope we can start fresh here.

Hi,
The "Tools" are in the old drop down menu, which are not shown by default in the new Firefox Design. To show this menu:
Firefox Menu > Customize
On the bottom left there will be Show/Hide Toolbars. The Menu will be listed here.

Example working Flex AIR app for Android?

I'm having trouble getting even the most basic AIR app working on Android. Here is the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" xmlns:local="*"
                        width="600" height="600">
     <fx:Declarations>
         
     </fx:Declarations>
     <mx:Label text="Hello World"/>
</s:WindowedApplication>
It works fine running on Windows in Flash Builder, obviously it's pretty simple. Here are the commands I use to put it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab with Android 2.2.
C:\Users\Ryan\Adobe Flash Builder 4\Test2\bin-release>adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore C:\Users\Ryan\STG-Android.pfx Test2.air Test2-app.xml Test2.swf

C:\Users\Ryan\Adobe Flash Builder 4\Test2\bin-release>adt -package -target apk -storetype pkcs12 -keystore C:\Users\Ryan\STG-Android.pfx Test2.apk Test2-app.xml Test2.swf
password:
test
C:\Users\Ryan\Adobe Flash Builder 4\Test2\bin-release>adb install -r Test2.apk

         pkg: /data/local/tmp/Test2.apk
Success
A Test2 app icon shows up on my Galaxy Tab under Applications but when I run the app I just see a plain white screen, I don't see the words "Hello World". Any ideas? Does anyone have an example Flex AIR app that works on Android and can post the code so I can try it on my Galaxy Tab? I know AIR is installed correctly on my Galaxy because I installed an AIR app called South Park Avatar Creator that I got from the market and it works fine.
Thanks,
Ryan
P.S. Here is the Test2-app.xml from my non-working project above in case it helps. This is the default generated with a new Flex app in Flash Builder 4 using the Flex 4.1.0 AIR 2.5 SDK but I uncommented the andoid tags and set the visible tag to true.

How to use dropbox (file permission in os-x)

Hi,
I have 2 User profiles:
1 Admin profile: Not daily usage
2 User profile: for daily websurfing
I want to use dropbox to copy/update my +itunes folder music+ from my Admin profile to my +itunes folder music+ User profile to use itunes in my user profile. Is that posible with dropbox write only permission?
I don't have an external nas or hd.
If so is there a program to sync it automatically update only the itunes files?
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your ideas, It will be appreciated.

Thank you for your suggestions.
I will explain in details what i want to accomplish
I have and Ipod Touch and all my purches and Important stuffs is done in ADMIN account. On the other hand I do my daily surfing and social stuffs in my USER account. I want to keep this separate between computing and websufing. Ok that been said, now I allso have and android phone with 16 gb sdcard that i want to sync my music to it. Mac osx has dropbox option that seems to fit what I need. Here it the plan:
I want to change User/Music folder permission to dropbox so I can copy folders from Admin/Music to User/Music folder. That being done I can use Doubletwist (itunes for android) on my User account and sync my music to my androidphone. And keep thing separate between accounts. To keep things simple I am looking forward at a program that can sync the folders automatically. Maybe atomator can do that. So that was my plan. Is it posible?
Thanks in advance
