Hi Robin, Can you please post the relevant ADB logs while the error is reported. Are you getting below error at this time? open failed: EACCES (Permission denied) If yes, you need to do below steps. 1. Download apk tool from http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/ 2. Decompile the SDK tester apk. 3. Open the AndroidManifest.xml in the decompiled apk folder and add below permission there. 4. Recompile the folder to an apk by using apk tool given. 5. Sign the apk by using any valid certificate (your debug.keystore also will work) 6. Run the sample app. Depending upon the target you are selecting while building the project you might need the above permission to be defined in manifest. We will fix this issue in the subsequent SDK release. Thank you for your post.

Hi Robin, Thanks a lot for bringing the issue into our notice. Now I see it. I am forwarding the issue to the concerned team. We will fix the issue in the subsequent release. For the now, I would request you to uninstall Kingsoft office while using SDK tester in your target device. But it's a temporary solution. We will fix it soon. Thanks again for reporting this.

Thank you for updating the tester. Quid Pro Quo So that we developers may learn from this simple oversight, would you mind showing a small snippet of code that allowed this situation to occur? It would assist we developers in not making the same error in our own code prior to submission. I find it odd that it is possible to code a Java statement such that some other app would launch when tapping on a button inside an activity, which is not the original intended result. I did find two possible instances that coding incorrectly might cause that situation. Threads http://developer.android.com/guide/components/processes-and-threads.html "For instance, when the user touches a button on the screen, your app's UI thread dispatches the touch event to the widget, which in turn sets its pressed state and posts an invalidate request to the event queue. The UI thread dequeues the request and notifies the widget that it should redraw itself." Is this an example of what is going on? "Rule 2: do not access the Android UI toolkit from outside the UI thread" or was it missing meta-data for a StartActivity http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity.html "However, intents can also be implicit, in which case the Intent does not specify the desired component, but allows any app installed on the device to respond to the intent as long as it satisfies the meta-data specifications for the action" Having a snippet of what not to do, and the corrected result would benefit us all. Thank you
