Ok, let us clarify the matter a little. An Android application requires "permissions" to do "anything past the basics"; permissions have to be declared in the "Manifest" file. There are (simplifying) two main types of permissions: "normal"¹ and "dangerous, runtime"²; the former only need to be specified by the programmer in the Manifest; the latter also need direct confirmation from the user at a requester prompt. This implies that "normal" permissions are granted by the user implicitly with the action of installing the application. Which means, that it is _quite important_ that the user sees the permissions list beforehand, before installation. -- ¹"Normal": BLUETOOTH, INTERNET, VIBRATE... ²"Dangerous": READ_CONTACTS, RECORD_AUDIO, SEND_SMS... |
