The App is reading the call log. On most devices that is fine, some others get SecurityException
for READ_CONTACTS
(which I don't have and don't want in my AndroidManifest.xml
.
Why is that and can I do something about that? Perhaps through a projection, which does not fetch the CACHED_NAME
?
android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG
was introduced in API Level 16. Before that, it was implicit in android.permission.READ_CONTACTS
and didn't exist as a separate permission. I suspect your trouble is with API 15 and lower devices since they will ignore your manifest's uses-permission
line for READ_CALL_LOG
and thus have no permission for reading the logs. For those devices, READ_CONTACTS
is the correct permission.
