Problem Adding Permission - Alternative?

[fabio borges]

Hello.
I want enable/disable a program from App Drawer and i am trying add using addpermission but cannot and dont know why. I am checking in App Config -> App Details.

The error:
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: attempt to change component state from pid=21672, uid=10105, package uid=10133

AddPermission(android.permission.CHANGE_COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE)

Thanks

What is this permission? It might be a system only permission.

When you compile your app make sure that the compiler doesn't show a warning about the manifest file.

If this is a System Only permission have a solution to execute?

Obj6.Target = Obj6.RunMethod("getPackageManager")
Obj6.Target = Obj6.RunMethod4("setApplicationEnabledSetting", args2, Types2)

 

[Erel]

The permission is added correctly (you can check AndroidManifest.xml and see it). I guess that it is a system only permission which means that only system processes can access this method.

What are you trying to achieve with this call?

I want make a List with all Installed App, if i choice one i will can select to enable/disable the app from app drawer.

The Manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   package="b4a.example"
   android:versionCode="1"
   android:versionName=""
   android:installLocation="internalOnly">
   
   <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>
   <supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" 
       android:normalScreens="true" 
       android:smallScreens="true" 
       android:anyDensity="true"/>
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE"/>
   <application
      android:icon="@drawable/icon"
      android:label="B4A Example">
      <activity
         android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
         android:launchMode="singleTop"
         android:name=".main"
         android:label="B4A Example"
         android:screenOrientation="unspecified">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>

This is a system permission you cannot add it to a standard application.

Android doesn't allow it.

 

[fabio borges]

Hello...
Hummm.. Right...
A program similar is "App Quarantine", but need SuperUser to get permission... Can i use a "addPermission" android function by "reflector" to give more permission?

addPermission(PermissionInfo info)
Add a new dynamic permission to the system.

Or maybe can i use "command line" ?

Have a possibility to get this permission by "standard" mode?
Thanks

 

[Erel]

No. You cannot add system permissions on unrooted devices. There is no way around it.

 

[fabio borges]

Hum... Look, i installed the SuperUser App to get permission in "App Quarantine" but if i execute my program the problem persist, SecurityException and no request access permission...

Look:

Sub Process_Globals
End Sub

Sub Globals
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Dim btnSetar As Button
   btnSetar.Initialize("btnSetar")
   btnSetar.Text = "Setar"
   
   Activity.AddView(btnSetar,35%x,45%y,120dip,50dip)
   
End Sub

Sub btnSetar_Click

Dim args(1),args2(3), pack() As Object
Dim Obj1, Obj2, Obj3, Obj4, Obj5, Obj6 As Reflector
Dim size, i, flags, count As Int
Dim Types(1),Types2(3), msg, name As String
Obj1.Target = Obj1.GetContext
Obj1.Target = Obj1.RunMethod("getPackageManager") ' PackageManager
Obj2.Target = Obj1.RunMethod2("getInstalledPackages", 0, "java.lang.int") ' List<PackageInfo>
size = Obj2.RunMethod("size")
For i = 0 To size -1
    Obj3.Target = Obj2.RunMethod2("get", i, "java.lang.int") ' PackageInfo
    name = "PackName: "&Obj3.GetField("packageName")
    Obj4.Target = Obj3.GetField("applicationInfo") ' ApplicationInfo        
    flags = Obj4.GetField("flags")    
    args(0) = Obj4.Target
    Types(0) = "android.content.pm.ApplicationInfo" 
    name = name & " - Label: " &Obj1.RunMethod4("getApplicationLabel", args, Types)
   msg = msg & name & " : " & flags & CRLF
    count = count + 1   
   If Obj1.RunMethod4("getApplicationLabel", args, Types) == "Reflector Demo" Then
      args2(0) = Obj3.GetField("packageName")
      args2(1) = 2
      args2(2) = 0
      Types2(0) = "java.lang.String"
      Types2(1) = "java.lang.int"
      Types2(2) = "java.lang.int"
      Obj6.Target = Obj6.GetContext
      Obj6.Target = Obj6.RunMethod("getPackageManager")
      Obj6.Target = Obj6.RunMethod4("setApplicationEnabledSetting", args2, Types2)
      ToastMessageShow("ENNNTROU IF",True)
   End If
    
Next    
Msgbox(msg,count) 

End Sub
