I'm slightly concerned at the permissions it requires. A music player should not ask for the power to make phone calls, and then refuse to work when it's denied.
- St_Alfonzo 10y agoSame here, the music player asks for permission to make phone calls and record audio. Maybe I have a different understanding of a music 'player', or this is a bug in the android permissions list.
- bcook 10y agoAFAIK, apps need this permission so that they can mute/stop when there is an incoming call.
- libeclipse 10y agoI don't recall any other media player I've used requiring it.
- bcook 10y agoDid they pause when there was an incoming call?
- libeclipse 10y agoYes

- halflings 10y agoNo permission seems to be required to listen on a call being done: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/PhoneStateListener.html#onCallStateChanged https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/Ph... There's one permission (READ_PHONE_STATE) required for some other methods, but it is different from the permission to initiate a a phone call.
- bcook 10y agoREAD_PHONE_STATE is precisely what the app in question uses. https://github.com/harjot-oberai/MusicStreamer/blob/master/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml https://github.com/harjot-oberai/MusicStreamer/blob/master/a...
- ianlevesque 10y agoThis used to be correct, in Android 1/2.x. It no longer is, there is no compelling reason for it to need it now that there are audio focus APIs.
