Constants

ACCEPT_HANDOVER

Added in API level 28

public static final String ACCEPT_HANDOVER

Allows a calling app to continue a call which was started in another app. An example is a video calling app that wants to continue a voice call on the user's mobile network.

The initiating device is where the request to handover the call was started, and the receiving device is where the handover request is confirmed by the other party.

READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

Added in API level 16

public static final String READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

Allows an application to read from external storage.

Note: Starting in API level 33, this permission has no effect. If your app accesses other apps' media files, request one or more of these permissions instead: READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_VIDEO, READ_MEDIA_AUDIO. Learn more about the storage permissions that are associated with media files.

This permission is enforced starting in API level 19. Before API level 19, this permission is not enforced and all apps still have access to read from external storage. You can test your app with the permission enforced by enabling Protect USB storage under Developer options in the Settings app on a device running Android 4.1 or higher.

Also starting in API level 19, this permission is not required to read or write files in your application-specific directories returned by Context.getExternalFilesDir(String) and Context.getExternalCacheDir().

Starting in API level 29, apps don't need to request this permission to access files in their app-specific directory on external storage, or their own files in the MediaStore. Apps shouldn't request this permission unless they need to access other apps' files in the MediaStore. Read more about these changes in the scoped storage section of the developer documentation.

If both your minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion values are set to 3 or lower, the system implicitly grants your app this permission. If you don't need this permission, be sure your targetSdkVersion is 4 or higher.

This is a soft restricted permission which cannot be held by an app it its full form until the installer on record allowlists the permission. Specifically, if the permission is allowlisted the holder app can access external storage and the visual and aural media collections while if the permission is not allowlisted the holder app can only access to the visual and aural medial collections. Also the permission is immutably restricted meaning that the allowlist state can be specified only at install time and cannot change until the app is installed. For more details see PackageInstaller.SessionParams.setWhitelistedRestrictedPermissions(Set).

Protection level: dangerous

Constant Value: "android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"

public static final String READ_MEDIA_AUDIO

Allows an application to read audio files from external storage.

This permission is enforced starting in API level Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU. An app which targets Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU or higher and needs to read audio files from external storage must hold this permission; READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is not required. For apps with a targetSdkVersion of Build.VERSION_CODES.S_V2 or lower, the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is required, instead, to read audio files.

Protection level: dangerous

Constant Value: "android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO"

READ_MEDIA_IMAGES

Added in API level 33

public static final String READ_MEDIA_IMAGES

READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED

Added in API level 34

public static final String READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED

Allows an application to read image or video files from external storage that a user has selected via the permission prompt photo picker. Apps can check this permission to verify that a user has decided to use the photo picker, instead of granting access to READ_MEDIA_IMAGES or READ_MEDIA_VIDEO. It does not prevent apps from accessing the standard photo picker manually. This permission should be requested alongside READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and/or READ_MEDIA_VIDEO, depending on which type of media is desired.

This permission will be automatically added to an app's manifest if the app requests READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_VIDEO, or ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION regardless of target SDK. If an app does not request this permission, then the grant dialog will return `PERMISSION_GRANTED` for READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and/or READ_MEDIA_VIDEO, but the app will only have access to the media selected by the user. This false grant state will persist until the app goes into the background.

Protection level: dangerous

Constant Value: "android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED"

RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

Added in API level 1

public static final String RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

Allows an application to receive the Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.

Allows apps to use exact alarms just like with SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM but without needing to request this permission from the user.

This is only intended for use by apps that rely on exact alarms for their core functionality. You should continue using SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM if your app needs exact alarms for a secondary feature that users may or may not use within your app.

Keep in mind that this is a powerful permission and app stores may enforce policies to audit and review the use of this permission. Such audits may involve removal from the app store if the app is found to be misusing this permission.

Apps need to target API Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU or above to be able to request this permission. Note that only one of USE_EXACT_ALARM or SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM should be requested on a device. If your app is already using SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM on older SDKs but needs USE_EXACT_ALARM on SDK 33 and above, then SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM should be declared with a max-sdk attribute, like:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM"
 	 android:maxSdkVersion="32" />

Apps that hold this permission, always stay in the WORKING_SET or lower standby bucket.

Constant Value: "android.permission.USE_EXACT_ALARM"
