Permissions for jar

[user009]

Hi

I have a jar file that is added to BOOTCLASSPATH.
This jar file has a Broadcast receiver for SMS; which parses the sms
and sends to a native code (.so).

My question is how to set "android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" for this
code/receiver. There is no java 'project' as such.

Where exactly is the xml(permission) setting for jar files in such a
case?


Thanks
Aby

The permission would go in the application that your jar is used in.

In this case the jar goes to services.jar. (frameworks/base/services/)
in LOCAL_JAVA_LIBRARIES :

Actually there is no application(.apk).
A JNI layer uses this jar class to pass on the broadcast receiver
(sms)message to native code.

What is the procedure enable permissions in such a case.

Thanks

I don't think you need to specify the permissions when running in system_server.

Why are you passing this to native code?

Yeah I think you are right.
For services.jar/SystemServer.java is it 'shell' permissions ?

This is actually Data Sms.

No, not quite. The system process runs as user 1000 but the shell runs as root.

In a user/usedebug build the shell does not run as root.

The system process runs as 1000, and that uid effectively does not need to request permissions because it is also the one that enforces them.  You should be very careful about what code you run as uid 1000, and be sure to do a careful security audit of such code.
