Permission is only granted to system app
android, eclipse, lint
Solution
In Eclipse:
Window -> Preferences -> Android -> Lint Error Checking.
In the list find an entry with `ID = ProtectedPermission`. Set the Severity to something lower than Error. This way you can still compile the project using Eclipse.
In Android Studio:
File -> Settings -> Editor -> Inspections
Under `Android Lint`, locate `Using system app permission`. Either uncheck the checkbox or choose a Severity lower than Error.
Problem
I have a System app that uses system permissions and I have those permissions listed in the manifest. Eclipse gives the following error when I try to make a build(command line build works): Permission is only granted to system apps I'm already aware that my app requires system permissions and it is not a problem for me because my application will be used only on rooted phones. So I want to suppress this error, anyone knows how? EDIT My project already compiles fine on command line, installs, runs etc.. My problem is about eclipse giving an error for a legit manifest file.
