USE_CREDENTIALS not available in new Android M API

Answer 06/28/2019 Developer FAQ 4

Question:

While trying new permissions API, notably:

ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale ActivityCompat.requestPermissions

for permission:

android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS

(whichn is not listed as "normal" permission)

I've received an "unknown permissionn exception".

Is it a bug? Or is USE_CREDENTIALS a normal permission after all?

Answer1:

Neither. `USE_CREDENTIALS` was removed from the Android SDK in Android 6.0. Not only will you not find it <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html" rel="nofollow">in `Manifest.permission` in the docs</a>, but if you try hunting for it on an Android 6.0 device (by enumerating all permissions via `PackageManager`), it does not seem to show up.
