Use the following code in your activity:
I created StringBuffer appNameAndPermissions = new StringBuffer();
to append all the apps and permisssions info.
It's working fine. I tested it already. If you have any issues, please let me know.
StringBuffer appNameAndPermissions = new StringBuffer();
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
List<ApplicationInfo> packages = pm.getInstalledApplications(PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
for (ApplicationInfo applicationInfo : packages) {
Log.d("test", "App: " + applicationInfo.name + " Package: " + applicationInfo.packageName);
try {
PackageInfo packageInfo = pm.getPackageInfo(applicationInfo.packageName, PackageManager.GET_PERMISSIONS);
appNameAndPermissions.append(packageInfo.packageName+"*******:\n");
//Get Permissions
String[] requestedPermissions = packageInfo.requestedPermissions;
if(requestedPermissions != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < requestedPermissions.length; i++) {
Log.d("test", requestedPermissions[i]);
appNameAndPermissions.append(requestedPermissions[i]+"\n");
}
appNameAndPermissions.append("\n");
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Use the following permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_TASKS"/>
You need to use PackageManager's GET_PERMISSIONS flag.
