BTW, I've seen apps in Market that explain (in the now-much-extended description field) why they need the permissions they do, one by one.
Not sure if that can address potential doubts of each and every user (there are some paranoid types out there), but it certainly creates a good impression, hopefully increasing the level of trust. I know it really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when the dev explains why they need certain permissions in the description! There are users who don't read the app description nor the comments. They don't write an email to ask just write a bad comment. So explaining it doesn't help because they don't read. I always try to answer comments but the next comments keep asking the same questions. There will ALWAYS be those people who don't pay attention, don't care, are jerks, having a bad day and take it out on you, are moronic, etc... (ex. Lady buys HOT coffee :: due to her clumsyness, lady spills HOT coffee in her own lap :: lady gets pissed off and successfully sues business that sold her the HOT coffee... **because the coffee was too hot and burned her!!!** GO FIGURE!!!) I find peace just trying to control those things that I actually have control over. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
