Basically, Determining statically a set of permissions an app will use is impossible, it requires fairly heavyweight static analysis, which necessarily makes some imprecision, thus a dynamic system is used. Since it's not entirely feasible to do real coverage of apps using dynamic analysis (or require that developers test their programs, and integrate that into the build process), annotations are used instead.
So, there's not a way to look at an app and decide what permissions are needed, instead you specify them. kris On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 8:49 AM, guich <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > So, the permission is written as-is and found only at runtime? > > I'm asking this because my applications are having problems accessing > the sdcard of some tablets like Xoom and Galaxy.
