I got back to the widget development after upgrading to the latest SDK and all of the sudden my widget is failing on startup with this message:
ERROR/AndroidRuntime(5296): java.lang.RuntimeException:
Unable to start receiver topjob.widget.SearchWidget:
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial:
attempt to change component state from pid=5296, uid=10057, package uid=10048
Here's two lines of code where exception occurs:
@Override
public void onEnabled(Context context) {
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(new ComponentName("topjob",
".widget.SearchWidgetBroadcastReceiver"),
PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED,
PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
startAlarm(context, UPDATE_RATE_SEC);
}
so in the code above startAlarm()
is never executed since pm.setComponentEnabledSetting()
throws the SecurityException
Am I missing any security settings in my manifest? Currently I have:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
I'm developing for SDK v. 1.5
and it used to work fine
P.S. It happens on the phone and the emulator
