  1. POAndroid 4.2 filters out CHANGE_CONFIGURATION permission?
    text
    copied!<p>I come across a weird problem, I got an application allowing to freely change the font size on Android Device (<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.gatay.android.fss%20%7C%20Font%20Size%20Setter" rel="noreferrer">Font Size Setter</a>). It uses introspection to call some internal Android apis. To do this call, it needs the following permission : <code>android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION</code>. It worked like a charm under Android 4.0 and up to 4.2 where it does not work anymore. Digging into logs I found out that I can't update font size because it misses this permission. Debbuging to check effective permissions, I got these when inspecting the PackageInfo corresponding to my app</p> <pre><code>requestedPermissions = {java.lang.String[2]@830038778728} [0] = {java.lang.String@830038778760}"android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION" [1] = {java.lang.String@830038778896}"android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" requestedPermissionsFlags = {int[2]@830038779016} [0] = 1 [1] = 3 </code></pre> <p>Does somebody got any clue about what's going on, or any workaround idea ? Thanks a lot for reading me.</p> <p>Per request, the AndroidManifest.xml file</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="fr.gatay.android.fss" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0"&gt; &lt;uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14"/&gt; &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION" /&gt; &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"/&gt; &lt;application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/app_icon"&gt; &lt;activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name"&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;/application&gt; &lt;/manifest&gt; </code></pre>
