Calling a method in the system process without a qualified user: android.app.ContextImpl.startService

[A. Carlos Martins]

Hi, I start on emulator (4.3) with emulator -kernel kernel-goldfish-xattr-2.6.29 and when i open the app taintdroid, the start button is white (disable?), then when i click the following message appear in logcat:

07-07 08:42:31.497: W/ContextImpl(788): Calling a method in the system process without a qualified user: android.app.ContextImpl.startService:1385 android.content.ContextWrapper.startService:473 org.appanalysis.TaintDroidNotifyController$1.onClick:16 android.view.View.performClick:4240 android.view.View$PerformClick.run:17721 

I saw that the service is started, but when i use the message app or browser, nothing happened (the taintdroid notification not appear).

anyone experienced that?

Yep, I had the same warnings as well. 

How did you solve that?

Thanks,

Hi,

I encountered the same problem, fixed by switching to TaintDroidNotifier from 4.3_r1 to 4.1.1_r6.

Here is how I did:

edit .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml, change from

name="TaintDroid/android_platform_packages_apps_TaintDroidNotify"

      revision="taintdroid-4.3_r1"

to -->

name="TaintDroid/android_platform_packages_apps_TaintDroidNotify"

      revision="taintdroid-4.1.1_r6" 

repo sync

cd packages/apps/TaintDroidNotify/

git checkout -b taintdroid-4.1.1_r6 --track github/taintdroid-4.1.1_r6 && git pull
