In an Android application (API level 10),I do not use below permission in manifest
:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
So application would not write on root of external storage.But when I try to check read/write
permission via AccessController
by this code:
File f = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
String path = f.getAbsolutePath();
String actions = "read,write";
try {
AccessController.checkPermission(new FilePermission(path, actions));
Log.d("Tag", "You have read/write permition to use : " + path);
} catch (AccessControlException e) {
Log.d("Tag", "You have not read/write permition to use : " + path);
} catch (SecurityException e) {
Log.d("Tag", "You have not read/write permition to use : " + path);
}
Result will be:
You have read/write permition to use : /storage/sdcard0
So why AccessController.checkPermission
does not throw exception on root of External Storage when application has no permission to write on it?
