Having implemented the first three: various manufacturers release dialer and contact apps that do not implement the Intent in the same way as the AOSP/Google apps. For example, the HTC Sense contacts application does not grant you the single-record permission when you select a contact via the ACTION_PICK_CONTACT intent, so your app will generate a permission error and you will not get the contact data without READ_CONTACTS.
Similar issues abound with the myriad of camera applications.
- Aissen 12y agoInteresting, how recent are those HTC Sense phones? Any pointers to such bugs? I agree it's a shame that it isn't implemented properly. It should be part of CTS.
- andymcsherry 12y agoThe CTS isn't quite as comprehensive as it should be. I worked on a music player that replaced the stock music app for a while. At one point, we discovered it wasn't issuing some of the required intents. Went unnoticed for over a year.
