android - Why do I need the permission READ_CONTACTS to read the call log?

Question

The App is reading the call log. On most devices that is fine, some others get SecurityException for READ_CONTACTS (which I don't have and don't want in my AndroidManifest.xml.

Why is that and can I do something about that? Perhaps through a projection, which does not fetch the CACHED_NAME?

Answer 1

android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG在 API 级别 16 中引入。在此之前，它是隐式的android.permission.READ_CONTACTS，不作为单独的权限存在。我怀疑您的问题出在 API 15 及更低版本的设备上，因为它们会忽略您的清单uses-permission行READ_CALL_LOG，因此无权读取日志。对于那些设备，READ_CONTACTS是正确的权限。
