I have an application where I create a process and call the dumpsys telephony.registry
command to get information about the mobile network status.
String[] cmds={"dumpsys telephony.registry"};
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmds [0]+"\n");
and then after that I parse the result of the command. For "ls"
or other commands it works fine. For dupmsys I get Permission Denial: can't dump telephony.registry from pid-953, uid=10090
. I get the same error results for dumpsys power
or other dumpsys commands.
I have set DUMP permissions android.permission.DUMP
in the android Manifest like suggested here
I think that I am doing this right since Android offers this feature here
I have also done the step described here to force eclipse to allow me to give my application DUMP permission in the manifest.
When I execute the dumpsys command I always get the same result
Permission Denial: can't dump telephony.registry from pid-953, uid=10090
Am I doing something wrong? Why does android OS still deny me access to the dump service ?
PS I have set min API 8 and I am testing the application on device running (ICS) API 15
