今天分享android的权限，android系统要求每个app必须在AndroidManifest.xml中声明本app使用的权限，这样，在用户安装的时候会提示用户该app将访问android系统哪些权限。

在android 6.0（含）以上系统，权限是在运行时提醒用户的，即app在运行的时候需要哪些权限，会提示用户；

在android 5.1（含）以下系统，权限是在安装的时候提醒的，以后运行时不会提醒；

所有的android权限，在Manifest.permission里。你还可以自定义一些特殊的权限。

具体官方介绍如下：

A basic Android application has no permissions associated with it by default, meaning it cannot do anything that would adversely impact the user experience or any data on the device. To make use of protected features of the device, you must include one or more <uses-permission> tags in your app manifest.
For example, an application that needs to monitor incoming SMS messages would specify:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.android.app.myapp" >
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
    ...
</manifest>

If your app lists normal permissions in its manifest (that is, permissions that don't pose much risk to the user's privacy or the device's operation), the system automatically grants those permissions. If your app lists dangerous permissions in its manifest (that is, permissions that could potentially affect the user's privacy or the device's normal operation), the system asks the user to explicitly grant those permissions. The way Android makes the requests depends on the system version, and the system version targeted by your app:

• If the device is running Android 6.0 (API level 23) or higher, and the app's targetSdkVersion is 23 or higher, the app requests permissions from the user at run-time. The user can revoke the permissions at any time, so the app needs to check whether it has the permissions every time it runs. For more information about requesting permissions in your app, see the Working with System Permissions training guide.
• If the device is running Android 5.1 (API level 22) or lower, or the app's targetSdkVersion is 22 or lower, the system asks the user to grant the permissions when the user installs the app. If you add a new permission to an updated version of the app, the system asks the user to grant that permission when the user updates the app. Once the user installs the app, the only way they can revoke the permission is by uninstalling the app.

Often times a permission failure will result in a SecurityException being thrown back to the application. However, this is not guaranteed to occur everywhere. For example, the sendBroadcast(Intent) method checks permissions as data is being delivered to each receiver, after the method call has returned, so you will not receive an exception if there are permission failures. In almost all cases, however, a permission failure will be printed to the system log.
The permissions provided by the Android system can be found at Manifest.permission. Any application may also define and enforce its own permissions, so this is not a comprehensive list of all possible permissions.
A particular permission may be enforced at a number of places during your program's operation:

• At the time of a call into the system, to prevent an application from executing certain functions.
• When starting an activity, to prevent applications from launching activities of other applications.
• Both sending and receiving broadcasts, to control who can receive your broadcast or who can send a broadcast to you.
• When accessing and operating on a content provider.
• Binding to or starting a service.
