Hi Stefan,
Thanks for highlighting this. It was a long time ago since I wrote the QuickStart app and I honestly can't remember why this line is included. I just tested the QuickStart app and to me it functions exactly the same without the GET_TASKS permission so I have just removed it. Am all in favour of reducing unwanted permissions.
I will have another look at the noHistory option soon, as the way I currently handle the Back Stack is not the prettiest.
Thanks Steve
Using the Android permission GET_TASKS in an Android app,
triggers the following permission request while installing the app:
* Device & app history. * Allows the app to view one or more of: * information about activity on the * device, which apps are running, \ browsing history and bookmarks.
Users get suspicious about what the app does with this personal information. I looked at the code and I don't see why we would need this permission request.
If it is used with activity intents to handle the back stack, couldn't this be solved with an: android:noHistory="true" attribute in the AndroidManifest?
Hope you can work around this permission.
Best Regards, Stefan
