All I want to know how can I code an app that scans and retrieves all the permission of the installed apps on Android?

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Answer 1

final Intent mainIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
mainIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
final List pkgAppsList = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(mainIntent, 0);

for (Object obj : pkgAppsList) {
  ResolveInfo resolveInfo = (ResolveInfo) obj;
  PackageInfo packageInfo = null;
  try { 
    packageInfo = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName, PackageManager.GET_PERMISSIONS);
  } catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block 
    e.printStackTrace();
  } 

  String[] requestedPermissions = packageInfo.requestedPermissions;
}
