    <p>I need to be able to toggle the GPS receiver on and off, and WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS is required to be able to access secure settings. I've searched around quite a bit, and every answer I saw pretty much said that no app outside of the system/firmware can get that permisssion.</p> <p>However, that is simply untrue. There are several apps on the market that do exactly what I'm trying to (in regards to GPS), but there are a bunch more that have the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permissions. For example:</p> <p><a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.extendedcontrols" rel="noreferrer">Extended Controls</a></p> <p><a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=alei.switchpro" rel="noreferrer">SwitchPro</a></p> <p><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amithgc.taskflow" rel="noreferrer">Profile Flow</a></p> <p>So, how can this be done?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
