"Storage" and "Phone Calls" permissions requested at installation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install kitco-android.apk
2. Android asks user for permissions to "Storage", "Network Communication",
and "Phone Calls"
3. Only "Network Communication" is needed for program to work

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-Only "Network Communication" should be listed as a permission

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
-This might have to do with the fact that it was compiled for Android 1.1
and tested on a Motorola Droid (Android 2.0.1).

This problem is apparently due to the face that Android API version 2 (which 
this
program uses) does not have permissions for storage and phone calls. When an 
Android
device that uses a higher API than 4 (Android 1.6+, where these permissions were
introduced), it automatically gets tagged as needing these permissions.

See relevant Google-developers mailing list thread here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg68033.html

So, the only way this problem could be fixed is to start requiring an API 
version of
4 or higher. I don't want to do that right now, because users might want to use 
this
program on lower versions of Android (1.1-1.5). Maybe I will release two 
versions,
one for Android 1.1-1.5 and one for Android 1.6+, but we'll see who complains 
first.

Just to be clear, kitco-android does NOT use the "Storage" or "Phone Calls"
permissions. They are displayed on Android 1.6+ devices because the earlier 
system
kitco-android was compiled for included them by default.
