android.permission.ACCESS_DOWNLOAD_MANAGER has protection level signatureOrSystem. You can read about that at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/permission-element.html
Basically, only applications signed using the same certificate as Download Manager or installed on the /system partition will be granted that permission. Just putting the "uses" clause in your manifest isn't enough. To try the /system approach, do adb remount adb push <your apk> /system/app Hod On Jun 11, 8:45 pm, ondraz <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > has anyone tried this?
