How to enforce the custom permission on an Activity in Android?

android, android-activity, java, permissions

Solution

Use `android:permission` attribute into activity tag.

Like below

<activity android:permission="com.master.me.CUSTOM_PERMISSION_TEST"
            android:name=".YourActivity"
            android:label="@string/activity_label" />

And you need to add `uses-permission` to your custom permission, when your other application needs to launch this activity.

<uses-permission android:name="com.master.me.CUSTOM_PERMISSION_TEST"/>

An In-Depth Introduction to the Android Permission Model is a very good article to understand permission in Android. And How to use custom permissions in Android? is also a very good SO thread.

Problem

I have created a custom permission in android as: ``` <permission android:name="com.master.me.CUSTOM_PERMISSION_TEST" android:description="@string/des_permission" android:label="labelhere"> </permission> ``` How will I enforce this in my Activity in `AndroidManifest.xml` file?
