How to enforce the custom permission on an Activity in Android?

Question

I have created a custom permission in android as:

<permission     android:name="com.master.me.CUSTOM_PERMISSION_TEST"     android:description="@string/des_permission"     android:label="labelhere"> </permission> 

How will I enforce this in my Activity in AndroidManifest.xml file?

Answer 1

Use android:permission attribute into activity tag.

Like below

<activity android:permission="com.master.me.CUSTOM_PERMISSION_TEST"             android:name=".YourActivity"             android:label="@string/activity_label" /> 

And you need to add uses-permission to your custom permission, when your other application needs to launch this activity.

<uses-permission android:name="com.master.me.CUSTOM_PERMISSION_TEST"/>
