Hi everyone,

This year is my first time I will use the android operating system. I face 
some problems and searched for the solutions in google and the other 
android communities, but still not find the exact solutions. So, I hope I 
can find the solution from this group.

I'm trying to find a way which can let me understand what are the 
applications do on my android mobile for example, you know each application 
will request for a list of permissions when it's installed on the device. 
But, if I use twitter app  and I gave it an  access to my picture, wifi, 
camera, bluetooth, contact,microphone and GPS how can I check if twitter is 
using my Location , or the user shared a photo from his gallery in 
twitter?. 

I mean maybe I gave the app a permission, but in fact the app never uses 
that permission. I hope my question is clear. The idea is I want to monitor 
the application while they are running to check specific permissions if it 
used or not.

 

I thought about using logcat (i don't know if really the logcat will show 
me exactly what the other apps are doing?)  and some people said I need to 
root my device and other said for a photo may I can use file observer. Is 
there a single technique I can use to check all the resources I mentioned 
before ,or  for each resource I should follow a different step to check if 
the application use it in fact or not.

note: (twitter is an example, I need to check different kind of apps in my 
device)

 

Thank you
