aaronk Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 17, 2018 #1 Hi, I am trying to get my head around the runtime permissions. Under the IDE log it has 'List permissions'. In the image below is the list of permissions it has listed for my app. Do I need to request each of those permissions, or is there one that I request that might request multiple at the same time? (I understand I only need to request it the once, even knowing it's listed multiple times) I noticed that (I know the Write_external_storage permission could be removed by using GetSafeDirDefaultExternal.) Also what about the last permission. (${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE) how do I request that one? How do I request that one, as it looks like it's referencing the application ID ?

Click to expand... Do you mean: Use RuntimePermissions.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("") instead of File.DirDefaultExternal. The parameter passed is an optional subfolder that will be created under the default folder. Click to expand... If so, then when I create a SQL database then it's visible to other apps. I was using File.DirInternal and it's not visible to other apps, but requires the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. Unless there is something I am missing or if there is another way in doing it?

aaronk Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 18, 2018 #8 I know what I did wrong. I am going to use File.DirInternal in the final release but during development (so I can see the database with an external app) was using File.DirDefaultExternal. Soon as I switched to File.DirInternal it no longer requires this permission. Upvote 0
