What do I do about: this requires android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL

Question

I am working on integrating micode's open source compass into an app I am making. I am wondering how I can fix this here permission error when I clearly have it stated in my manifest with the correct spelling. Its still coming up that I need that permission.

This is puzzling me...

    java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: registerReceiver from \
    net.micode.compass asks to run as user -1 but is calling from user 0; this \
    requires android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL

Answer 1

android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL is a signature level permission. Your app will not be able to use it until and unless it has the same signature as the system.
