Getting list of Permission

Question

Is there anyway to get the list of supported permission of your device/version? Or to check if the permission is supported by the device. I found a code but I think it only compare it on the app permission.

 PackageManager pm = this.getPackageManager();
        int hasPerm = pm.checkPermission(
            android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, 
            this.getPackageName());
        if (hasPerm != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
           // do stuff
            Toast.makeText(this, "Not Supported", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }else{
            Toast.makeText(this, "Supported", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

do anyone know to to check the permission if its supported by the device not only the application.

any thoughts will be highly appreciated.

Youre code checks if the app has the permission to write to external storage, if I read it right...

To find a list of permissions, those 2 links will help: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html

Where can I get a list of Android permissions

yes it is. that's why I'm asking how to check the permission if it is supported by the users devices not the app only – Gangnaminmo Ako Oct 04 '13 at 08:44
check the 2 links... Manifest.permissions holds the list of permissions. – Manuel Allenspach Oct 04 '13 at 09:16
I unchecked your answer because I think it only get all the permission of all the app installed on the device. Not all the permission that supported by the device. – Gangnaminmo Ako Oct 07 '13 at 07:09
Ok, that's bad... I googled a little bit, found some permission-classes like [java.security.permission](http://developer.android.com/reference/java/security/Permission.html), but I don't know what it does – Manuel Allenspach Oct 07 '13 at 17:03

In the documentation there's a method of PackageManger

public abstract List<PermissionGroupInfo> getAllPermissionGroups (int flags)

Retrieve all of the known permission groups in the system.

I haven't tried this myself. For a detailed description of the method you can look here.
