I have an app which has an activity and activity-alias. I am trying to call this activity from another app through activity-alias but it crashes when i add permission in activity-alias. If no permission is added, it works fine.
<permission
android:name="com.USE_SASETTINGS"
android:protectionLevel="normal" />
<activity android:name=".DemoActivity"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity-alias
android:name=".demoAlias"
android:exported="true"
android:targetActivity="DemoActivity"
android:permission="com.USE_SASETTINGS">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.accountsettingone"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity-alias>
From another app, i am trying to call the activity through activity-alias.
Manifest of another app:
<uses-permission android:name="com.USE_SASETTINGS"/>
Activity of another app:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Intent intent = new Intent();
startActivity(new Intent("com.example.accountsettingone"));
}
}
But application crashes. Error message:
