android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS

(dangerous)

Allows access to the list of accounts in the Accounts Service. Note: Beginning with Android 6.0 (API level 23), if an app shares the signature of the authenticator that manages an account, it does not need 'GET_ACCOUNTS' permission to read information about that account. On Android 5.1 and lower, all apps need 'GET_ACCOUNTS' permission to read information about any account.

android.permission.INTERNET

(normal instant)

Allows applications to open network sockets.

android.permission.READ_CONTACTS

(dangerous)

android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

(dangerous)

Allows an application to read from external storage. Any app that declares the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is implicitly granted this permission. This permission is enforced starting in API level 19. Before API level 19, this permission is not enforced and all apps still have access to read from external storage. You can test your app with the permission enforced by enabling

android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE

(dangerous)

Allows read only access to phone state, including the current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any android.telecom.PhoneAccount registered on the device. Note: If both your ' minSdkVersion and ' targetSdkVersion values are set to 3 or lower, the system implicitly grants your app this permission. If you don't need this permission, be sure your ' targetSdkVersion is 4 or higher.

android.permission.READ_SYNC_SETTINGS

(normal)

Allows applications to read the sync settings.

android.permission.READ_SYNC_STATS

(normal)

Allows applications to read the sync stats.

android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

(normal)

Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.

android.permission.REORDER_TASKS

(normal)

Allows an application to change the Z-order of tasks.

android.permission.VIBRATE

(normal instant)

Allows access to the vibrator.

android.permission.WAKE_LOCK

(normal instant)

Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.

android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

(dangerous)

Allows an application to write to external storage. Note: If both your ' minSdkVersion and ' targetSdkVersion values are set to 3 or lower, the system implicitly grants your app this permission. If you don't need this permission, be sure your '>getExternalFilesDir and getExternalCacheDir. If this permission is not allowlisted for an app that targets an API level before Q this permission cannot be granted to apps.

android.permission.WRITE_SYNC_SETTINGS

(normal)

Allows applications to write the sync settings.

com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT

(normal)

Allows an application to install a shortcut in Launcher. In Android O (API level 26) and higher, the INSTALL_SHORTCUT broadcast no longer has any effect on your app because it's a private, implicit broadcast. Instead, you should create an app shortcut by using the android.content.pm.ShortcutManager#requestPinShortcut requestPinShortcut()method from the android.content.pm.ShortcutManagerclass.

com.android.launcher.permission.UNINSTALL_SHORTCUT

(normal)

Don't use this permission in your app.This permission is no longer supported.
