The N Developer Preview includes the following changes to permissions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="GET_ACCOUNTS">GET_ACCOUNTS deprecated</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>GET_ACCOUNTS</code> permission is now deprecated. The system ignores
|
|
this permission for apps that target the N Developer Preview.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="storage">New storage option: ACTION_OPEN_EXTERNAL_DIRECTORY</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Apps can now use the intent <code>ACTION_OPEN_EXTERNAL_DIRECTORY</code> to
|
|
request that the system create a directory for the app's use. The system
|
|
prompts the user to grant approval. If the user approves, the app can read
|
|
and write files and directories in that one directory (and its descendants).
|
|
The app does not need {@link android.Manifest.permission_group#STORAGE
|
|
STORAGE} permissions to access this external directory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For more information about this intent, see the <code>Intent</code>
|
|
documentation in the <!--TODO: Add link to preview download page-->N Preview
|
|
SDK Reference.
