Permission is only granted to system app
AndroidEclipseLintAndroid Problem Overview
I have a System app that uses system permissions and I have those permissions listed in the manifest. Eclipse gives the following error when I try to make a build(command line build works):
> Permission is only granted to system apps
I'm already aware that my app requires system permissions and it is not a problem for me because my application will be used only on rooted phones. So I want to suppress this error, anyone knows how?
EDIT
My project already compiles fine on command line, installs, runs etc.. My problem is about eclipse giving an error for a legit manifest file.
Android Solutions
Solution 1 - Android
In Eclipse: > Window -> Preferences -> Android -> Lint Error Checking.
In the list find an entry with ID = ProtectedPermission. Set the Severity to something lower than Error. This way you can still compile the project using Eclipse.
In Android Studio:
> File -> Settings -> Editor -> Inspections
Under Android Lint, locate Using system app permission. Either uncheck the checkbox or choose a Severity lower than Error.
Solution 2 - Android
To ignore this error for one instance only, add the tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions" attribute to your permission declaration. Here is an example:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE"
tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions" />
You have to add tools namespace in the manifest root element
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
Solution 3 - Android
Have same error from time to time (when I set install location to "prefer external" in manifest). Just clean and rebuild project. Works for me.
Solution 4 - Android
tools:ignore="ProtectedPermissions"
Try adding this attribute to that permission.
