[request] wildcard whitelisting for Android.intent.action.VIEW #2114

Open w0rinal opened 9 years ago

w0rinal commented 9 years ago

As the title says For example xposed installer calls android.intent.action.VIEW to view support or source of an app. This specific url can be whitelisted. But I can't whitelist http://github.com/whatever/* So I need to allow this intent completely or restrict it or always on-demand-allow it Or content://com.android.calendar/events/, file:///storage/emulated/0/ And so on Whitelisting of a specific path is there so there might be a reason this function has not already been implemented but I thought I might ask you about it.

BTW allowing some more information for an app itself solved app crashing when denying Srv_queryIntentActivities :thumbup:

Thanks for this great project :)

I am sorry, but the VIEW intent parameters are to diverse to allow wildcard whitelisting. I have also to keep performance in mind.

Moreover, you can always restrict the file access itself.

I use XPrivacy to aid adblocking. Wildcard for view would be immensely helpful. I wouldn't want to fiddle with URI editing in the on demand rule ui but I would tinker later from white list editor.

as it stands I have numerous blacklist URI for some apps [performance?] whereas one user crafted rule would end the need to prompt / attention split.
