Security interaction no longer possible on Froyo #38

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Though security is still detected for pattern lockscreen, we no longer have 
access to disabling it via our change_settings permission. Soon a Froyo 
release will be ready which removes all reference to security interaction. 
The previous version for the eclair build will go back up soon as well to 
allow for smoothest operation pre-Froyo, as it has not been released on the 
droid (our primary target device) officially yet.

Located via the developer documentation:

"Secure system settings, containing system preferences that applications can 
read but are not allowed to write. These are for preferences that the user must 
explicitly modify through the system UI or specialized APIs for those values, 
not modified directly by applications."

LOCK_PATTERN_ENABLED is now part of this setup. I'm hunting for any associated 
permission or API we might be able to still use to interact with security on 
2.2 and on. Can't find anything on pin/password lock so far in the search.
