I have an android application which has a provision to controls calls ie, allow or block specific incoming & outgoing phone calls.Here is part of manifest file.

This application does not show for some devices in Google play.After a long time search I understood that it is due to <uses-feature> hardware requirements. No i want to remove the required hardware features for phone calls from manifest and check them from code.
Some tablets which does not have a Phone Call functionality does not show my application.So i want to make my application available to these tablets which lacks the required hardware.How can i achieve this?
Thanks in Advance
Some permissions automatically impy feature requirements.
This is what the API Guides says:
"For any of the permissions below, you can disable filtering based on the implied feature by explicitly declaring the implied feature explicitly, in a element, with an android:required="false" attribute."
Your permissions impliy the features android.hardware.wifi, android.hardware.location.network, android.hardware.location.gps, android.hardware.location and android.hardware.telephony.
You set only two of them to android:required="false". So you might try to set the other permissions to not required, too.
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to add permissions after the application is installed. Perhaps you can release 2 APKs. One for mobile devices and one for tablets.
Try this code to check if phone functionality is available :
public static boolean isTablet(Context context) {
TelephonyManager manager = (TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
return manager.getPhoneType() == TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_NONE;
}

I have the following permissions explicitly requested in my manifest.
I would like to optimize store visibility by switching as many as possible of them to implicit 'uses-feature' declarations. I will also handle this additionally in code checking for features before I access them.
Internet access is the only thing that's truly required for my app, other features I can enable/disable conditionally based on hasFeatures().
Question:
Which of these permissions can I change?
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING" />
<permission android:name="com.appName.supportmapfragment.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.appName.supportmapfragment.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true" />
Set required to 'false' if your app doesn't require something to run:
To control filtering, always explicitly declare hardware features in
elements, rather than relying on Google Play to
"discover" the requirements in elements. Then, if
you want to disable filtering for a particular feature, you can add a
android:required="false" attribute to the declaration.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-permission-element.html (in the right-hand sidebar)
The documentation has this example:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false" />
I devleop an app which one of its abilities is to view a map and display nearby places (does not matter really what it displays).
for my convenience - i coded it in separate project.
after i copied the code (with all of the resources) to the main app, and tried to display the map, I could not see the map at all. instead, i saw default white screen.
I generated the suitable keys (API and server) for every project, and enabled the needed API's (seperately):
BigQuery API.
Debuglet Controller API.
Google Cloud Logging API.
Google Cloud SQL.
Google Cloud Storage.
Google Cloud Storage JSON API.
Google Maps Android API v2.
Google Maps Geolocation API.
Google Places API for Android.
Google Places API Web Service.
and this is my androidManifest.xml

The weirdest thing is that it works perfectly on the small app, but not on the main app when I try to run it from there.
What can it be?
The only way to solve it was to Edit allowed android applications in the console to "Any application allowed".
I don't know why but this was the only way.
I have downloaded a Geofence Sample Application form here but it is not working .I have replaced actions in GeofenceUtils class by putting app package name e.g com.example.android.geofence.ACTION_CONNECTION_ERROR is replaced by com.geofencesample.ACTION_CONNECTION_ERROR , here com.geofencesample is my app package name .I have put all the possible permissions regarding Location in manifest file , here is my manifest file .

I am passing lattitude , logitude and radius(10m) of geofence through UI , After clicking on "Register geofence" button I am entering and exiting from geofence but nothing happens . I am not getting any notification or any vibrate alert (I have added it in MainActivity$GeofenceSampleReceiver.handleGeofenceTransition) . Which suitable fix should I do .
Any help will be appreciated .
I have tested it using proper radius and app package name .Now App is working ,but in some cases it gives false entry notification . I am using Mock Locations provider app so that I can test it by keeping himself at a place . Still I am not getting proper notification .
I am developing a SIP application for VOIP calls. I have modified SIPDemo as per my UI requirements. When an incoming call is triggered, my app is registered to server domain and able to receive calls, (even in the case when the app is not running).
But when my app is destroyed/killed, incoming calls are not triggered.
I have made service start, i think its not running. I'm new to this and unable to figure out, Kindly suggest the help!

all your manifest declarations are good,,, and as for keeping your app running that depends on how well your service is made... here is an answer that I hope it helps you:
AlarmManager or Service
I'm using GCM on my application, but when I try to register my device the onRegistered method on GCMIntentService isn't called.
I installed the GCM demo application on my device and it works:
http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/demo.html
In this app the device is registered and I can send messages to it. I tried to use GCM in my own app using the same GCMIntentService. I adapted the manifest too, but when I try to register this is what appears in my log:
09-25 10:00:10.195: V/GCMRegistrar(591): Registering app com.pfc.dps of senders 38322290XXXXX
And nothing else, I get no response. These are my manifest permissions:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.pfc.dps"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="16"/>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_TASKS"/>
<!-- Keeps the processor from sleeping when a message is received. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

android:name="com.pfc.dps.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<!-- This app has permission to register and receive data message. -->
<uses-permission
android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
I created a new project in Google APIs console to check if it worked that way, but I get the same result using any of the Sender IDs.
Does anybody know why is that?
Thank you!
After the "Registering app *your_package* of senders *sender_id*"
You should receive a onReceive event which will call your GCMIntentService to wake your app up.
If you do not have that, please check you have missed the receiver or forgotten to change the category for your own package.
<receiver android:name="com.google.android.gcm.GCMBroadcastReceiver"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >

<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />
<category android:name="***your_package***" />
