After instalation, if you go to settings > aplications > click on application and you can see below what permissions are granted to it.

If you want to know a litle more about manage aplication permissions, you got a good article here

  • hi thanks for the reply, i'm familiar with this article. i wanted to know where does android system stores this information, on which file/database/storage is the per application permissions information is saved? – pulu Jun 25 '14 at 16:19
  • I think that information is private, you cant access it directly unless you have ROOT access to your device. By the way, check this topic if it can help you: http://stackoverflow.com/q/19487770/3640637 – PedroHawk Jun 25 '14 at 16:45
  • i don't need to access it, i just need to know where it is saved for a paper i'm writing – pulu Jun 25 '14 at 16:57
  • When i mean "cant access it" is more likely "it doesnt exist as a file or directory". If you find anything more about this topic post it. gl for your paper – PedroHawk Jun 25 '14 at 17:17

Android does not store it extra. Android installs your apk file. The permissions are in the apk file in the manifest part. No need to store them again. Well thats what i think.

  • yes but what happens when your application wants to preform an action that requires a certain permission? Then in run time android will check your manifest? – pulu Jun 28 '14 at 13:11
  • Good question. But i do not know. Interesting though! – greenapps Jun 28 '14 at 13:23
