Hi Jeff, According the to official documentation the pm permissions command is only for listing all known permissions [1] or optionally all the permissions in a given logical group. But if you want to list the permissions granted to a specific application the most accurate way to do this would be to consult the/data/system/packages.xmlon your android device or on an emulator running the application---you may or may not know that---it lists the permissions, public keys and of all the applications installed on a device.To make this simpler you may want to grep or search for the applications name in the file, for example:
the simplest way would be to do this on an emulated or "android virtual device", it avoids the need to root the device, anyway here's what you could try doing: bash$adb pull /data/system/packages.xml bash$cat packages.xml | grep -n "package\ name=\"[package name]" (hopefully I'm escaping my quotes properly here) or you can search for all the permission names associated to your application if they are unique enough, for instance with a certain prefix, bash$cat packages.xml | grep "name=\"my.package.name.SOME_PERMISSION" Point being, give the /data/system/packages.xml a look ;) References: [1] http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html Regards On Sunday, August 4, 2013 12:31:57 PM UTC+2, Jeffrey Walton wrote: > > Hi All, > > I'm trying to list the permissions granted to an app over adb.
