Problem with Android Oreo version

[Kush19]

I'm running the app on Pixel which is running on Android Oreo, App doesn't list any secret codes but some codes like ##225## is run on dialer app the codes run fine. Is there an issue with the app which runs on Oreo devices??

[SimonMarquis]

Please add a logcat trace of the app running on your device.

[Kush19]

Here is the logcat trace pixel.txt

[SimonMarquis]

I don't see the application starting from this logcat.
Maybe try to add a log to this line to see if the Crawler is detecting the apps correctly:

Android-SecretCodes/app/src/main/java/fr/simon/marquis/secretcodes/Crawler.java

Line 47 in f8b7211

List<PackageInfo> pil = pm.getInstalledPackages(PackageManager.GET_INTENT_FILTERS);

[SimonMarquis]

It seems that the XML file parsed by the crawler ins't complete (missing the intent-filters).

[SimonMarquis]

I might want to use a third party library to crawl AndroidManifest files such as APKParser.

But the problem is with only Pixel devices running on Oreo, other devices which are running on Oreo display the list of codes available but on clicking them throws an error as
Permission Denial: not allowed to send broadcast android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE from pid=7666, uid=10097

[SimonMarquis]

Yeah, but I don't know why the parsing is no longer working.

The issue with secret codes that are not working from the app (what you describe on your last coment) is already known but can't be fixed. Some OS are blocking such broadcasts to be sent:

Permission Denial: not allowed to send broadcast android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE from pid=17950, uid=10256

((TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE))
.sendDialerSpecialCode(code);

[SimonMarquis]

I don't think this will work since this API call requires to have carrier privileges or to be the default dialer app.
