App-ops are used for two purposes: Access control and tracking.
App-ops cover a wide variety of functionality from helping with runtime permissions access
control and tracking to battery consumption tracking.
## Access control
App-ops can either be controlled for each uid or for each package. Which one is used depends
on the API provider maintaining this app-op. For any security or privacy related app-op the
provider needs to control the app-op for per uid as all security and privacy is based on uid in
Android.
To control access the app-op can be set to a mode to:
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_DEFAULT`
: Default behavior, might differ from app-op or app-op
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_ALLOWED`
: Allow the access
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_IGNORED`
: Don't allow the access, i.e. don't perform the requested action or return no or
placeholder data
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_ERRORED`
: Throw a `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/SecurityException` on access. This can be suppressed by using a
`...noThrow` method to check the mode
API providers need to check the mode returned by `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` if they are are allowing
access to operations gated by the app-op. `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#unsafeCheckOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` should be used to check the
mode if no access is granted. E.g. this can be used for displaying app-op state in the UI or
when checking the state before later calling `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` anyway.
If an operation refers to a time span (e.g. a audio-recording session) the API provider
should use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#finishOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` instead of `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`.
### Runtime permissions and app-ops
Each platform defined runtime permission (beside background modifiers) has an associated app
op which is used for tracking but also to allow for silent failures. I.e. if the runtime
permission is denied the caller gets a `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/SecurityException`, but if the permission is
granted and the app-op is `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_IGNORED` then the callers gets placeholder behavior, e.g.
location callbacks would not happen.
### App-op permissions
App-ops permissions are platform defined permissions that can be overridden. The security
check for app-op permissions should by `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_DEFAULT` check the permission grant
state. If the app-op state is set to `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_ALLOWED` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_IGNORED` the app-op
state should be checked instead of the permission grant state.
This functionality allows to grant access by default to apps fulfilling the requirements for
a certain permission level. Still the behavior can be overridden when needed.
## Tracking
App-ops track many important events, including all accesses to runtime permission protected
APIs. This is done by tracking when an app-op was `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` or
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`. The tracked data can only be read by system components.
**Only `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`/`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` are tracked; `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#unsafeCheckOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` is not tracked.
Hence it is important to eventually call `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` when providing
access to protected operations or data.**
Some apps are forwarding access to other apps. E.g. an app might get the location from the
system's location provider and then send the location further to a 3rd app. In this case the
app passing on the data needs to call `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteProxyOp(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)` to signal the access proxying. This
might also make sense inside of a single app if the access is forwarded between two parts of
the tagged with different attribution tags.
An app can register an `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager.OnOpNotedCallback` to get informed about what accesses the
system is tracking for it. As each runtime permission has an associated app-op this API is
particularly useful for an app that want to find unexpected private data accesses.

## Constants
### MODE_ALLOWED
Added in [API level 19](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final int MODE_ALLOWED
```
Result from `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#checkOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`: the given caller is
allowed to perform the given operation.
Constant Value:
0
(0x00000000)
### MODE_DEFAULT
Added in [API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final int MODE_DEFAULT
```
Result from `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#checkOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`: the given caller should
use its default security check. This mode is not normally used; it should only be used
with appop permissions, and callers must explicitly check for it and deal with it.
Constant Value:
3
(0x00000003)
### MODE_ERRORED
Added in [API level 19](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final int MODE_ERRORED
```
Result from `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#checkOpNoThrow(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOpNoThrow(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOpNoThrow(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`: the
given caller is not allowed to perform the given operation, and this attempt should
cause it to have a fatal error, typically a `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/SecurityException`.
Constant Value:
2
(0x00000002)
### MODE_FOREGROUND
Added in [API level 29](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public static final int MODE_FOREGROUND
```
Special mode that means "allow only when app is in foreground." This is **not**
returned from `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#unsafeCheckOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`. Rather,
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#unsafeCheckOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` will always return `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_ALLOWED` (because it is always
possible for it to be ultimately allowed, depending on the app's background state),
and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` will return `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_ALLOWED` when the app
being checked is currently in the foreground, otherwise `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_IGNORED`.
The only place you will this normally see this value is through
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#unsafeCheckOpRaw(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`, which returns the actual raw mode of the op. Note that because
you can't know the current state of the app being checked (and it can change at any
point), you can only treat the result here as an indication that it will vary between
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_ALLOWED` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_IGNORED` depending on changes in the background
state of the app. You thus must always use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` to do
the actual check for access to the op.
Constant Value:
4
(0x00000004)

not allowed to perform the given operation, and this attempt should
*silently fail* (it should not cause the app to crash).
Constant Value:
1
(0x00000001)

### checkOp
Added in [API level 19](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public int checkOp (String op,
int uid,
String packageName)
```
Check whether an application can perform an operation.
For platform versions before `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#BAKLAVA`, this is
*not* a security check; you must use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)` for your actual security
checks. This function can just be used for a quick check to see if an operation has been
disabled for the application, as an early reject of some work.
For platform versions equal to or after `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#BAKLAVA`, it
does the same security check as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)` and
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)`, and should be preferred to use.
This API does not modify the time stamp or other data about the operation.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `op` | `String`: The operation to check. One of the OPSTR_\* constants. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `uid` | `int`: The uid of the application attempting to perform the operation.
|
| `packageName` | `String`: The name of the application attempting to perform the operation. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | Returns `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_ALLOWED` if the operation is allowed, or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_IGNORED` if it is not allowed and should be silently ignored (without causing the app to crash).
|
| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/SecurityException` | If the app has been configured to crash on this op. |

```
public int noteOp (String op,
int uid,
String packageName)
```
**This method was deprecated
in API level 30.**
Use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)` instead
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `op` | `String`: This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `uid` | `int`
|
| `packageName` | `String`: This value cannot be `null`.
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` |
|
### noteOp
Added in [API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public int noteOp (String op,
int uid,
String packageName,
String attributionTag,
String message)
```
Make note of an application performing an operation and check if the application is allowed
to perform it.
If this is a check that is not preceding the protected operation, use
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#unsafeCheckOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)` instead.
The identity of the package the app-op is noted for is specified by the
`uid` and `packageName` parameters. If this is noted for a regular app both
should be set and the package needs to be part of the uid. In the very rare case that an
app-op is noted for an entity that does not have a package name, the package can be
`null`. As it is possible that a single process contains more than one package the
`packageName` should be `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#getPackageName()` from the context of the
caller of the API (in the app process) that eventually triggers this check. If this op is
not noted for a running process the `packageName` cannot be read from the context, but
it should be clear which package the note is for.
If the `uid` and `packageName` do not match this return
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_IGNORED`.
Beside the access check this method also records the access. While the access check is
based on `uid` and/or `packageName` the access recording is done based on the
`packageName` and `attributionTag`. The `attributionTag` should be
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#getAttributionTag()` from the same context the package name is read from.
In the case the check is not related to an API call, the `attributionTag` should be
`null`. Please note that e.g. registering a callback for later is still an API call and
the code should store the attribution tag along the package name for being used in this
method later.
The `message` parameter only needs to be set when this method is
not
called in a two-way binder call from the client. In this case the message is a free form text that is meant help the app developer determine what part of the app's code triggered the note. This message is passed back to the app in the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager.OnOpNotedCallback#onAsyncNoted(android.app.AsyncNotedAppOp)` callback. A good example of a useful message is including the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/System#identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)` of the listener that will receive data or the name of the manifest-receiver.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `op` | `String`: The operation to note. One of the OPSTR_\* constants. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `uid` | `int`: The uid of the application attempting to perform the operation.
|
| `packageName` | `String`: The name of the application attempting to perform the operation. This value may be `null`.
|
| `attributionTag` | `String`: The `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#createAttributionContext(java.lang.String)` of the calling context or `null` for default attribution
|
| `message` | `String`: A message describing why the op was noted. This value may be `null`.
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | Returns `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_ALLOWED` if the operation is allowed, or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_IGNORED` if it is not allowed and should be silently ignored (without causing the app to crash).
|
| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/SecurityException` | If the app has been configured to crash on this op. |

AppOpsManager.OnOpNotedCallback callback)
```
Set a new `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager.OnOpNotedCallback`.
There can only ever be one collector per process. If there currently is another callback
set, this will fail.
Note that if an app has multiple processes registering for this callback, the system would
fan out async op noted callbacks to each of the processes, resulting in the same data being
delivered multiple times to an app, which is usually undesired. To avoid this, consider
listening to async ops only in one process. See
`https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#setOnOpNotedCallback(java.util.concurrent.Executor,%20android.app.AppOpsManager.OnOpNotedCallback,%20int)` for how to do this.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `asyncExecutor` | `Executor`: executor to execute `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager.OnOpNotedCallback#onAsyncNoted(android.app.AsyncNotedAppOp)` on, `null` to unset. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/Executor`, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#getMainExecutor()`. Otherwise, provide an `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/Executor` that dispatches to an appropriate thread.
|
| `callback` | `AppOpsManager.OnOpNotedCallback`: listener to set, `null` to unset
|
| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalStateException` | If another callback is already registered |
### setOnOpNotedCallback
Added in [API level 36](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void setOnOpNotedCallback (Executor asyncExecutor,
AppOpsManager.OnOpNotedCallback callback,
int flags)
```
Set a new `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager.OnOpNotedCallback`.
There can only ever be one collector per process. If there currently is another callback
set, this will fail.
This API allows the caller to listen only to sync and self op noted events, and ignore
async ops. This is useful in the scenario where an app has multiple processes. Consider an
example where an app has two processes, A and B. The op noted events are as follows:
- op 1: process A, sync
- op 2: process A, async
- op 3: process B, sync
- op 4: process B, async Any process that listens to async op noted events gets events originating from across ALL processes (op 2 and op 4 in this example). So if both process A and B register as listeners, both of them get op 2 and 4 which is not ideal. To avoid duplicates, one of the two processes should set `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#OP_NOTED_CALLBACK_FLAG_IGNORE_ASYNC`. For example process A sets `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#OP_NOTED_CALLBACK_FLAG_IGNORE_ASYNC` and would then only get its own sync event (op 1). The other process would then listen to all types of events and get op 2, 3 and 4. Note that even with `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#OP_NOTED_CALLBACK_FLAG_IGNORE_ASYNC`, `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager.OnOpNotedCallback#onAsyncNoted(android.app.AsyncNotedAppOp)` may still be invoked. This happens for sync events that were collected before a callback is registered.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `asyncExecutor` | `Executor`: executor to execute `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager.OnOpNotedCallback#onAsyncNoted(android.app.AsyncNotedAppOp)` on, `null` to unset. Callback and listener events are dispatched through this `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/Executor`, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#getMainExecutor()`. Otherwise, provide an `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/Executor` that dispatches to an appropriate thread.
|
| `callback` | `AppOpsManager.OnOpNotedCallback`: listener to set, `null` to unset
|
| `flags` | `int`: additional flags to modify the callback behavior, such as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#OP_NOTED_CALLBACK_FLAG_IGNORE_ASYNC` Value is either `0` or - `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#OP_NOTED_CALLBACK_FLAG_IGNORE_ASYNC` |
| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/IllegalStateException` | If another callback is already registered |

public void startWatchingActive (String[] ops,
Executor executor,
AppOpsManager.OnOpActiveChangedListener callback)
```
Start watching for changes to the active state of app-ops. An app-op may be
long running and it has a clear start and stop delimiters. If an op is being
started or stopped by any package you will get a callback. To change the
watched ops for a registered callback you need to unregister and register it
again.

you can watch changes only for your UID.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `ops` | `String`: The operations to watch. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `executor` | `Executor`: Callback and listener events are dispatched through this `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/concurrent/Executor`, providing an easy way to control which thread is used. To dispatch events through the main thread of your application, you can use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context#getMainExecutor()`.

```
public int unsafeCheckOp (String op,
int uid,
String packageName)
```
**This method was deprecated
in API level 36.**
Use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#checkOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`
Check whether an application might be able to perform an operation.
For platform versions before `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#BAKLAVA`, this is
*not* a security check; you must use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)` or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)` for your actual security
checks. This function can just be used for a quick check to see if an operation has been
disabled for the application, as an early reject of some work.
For platform versions equal to or after `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES#BAKLAVA`, this
is no longer an unsafe check, and it does the same security check as `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#noteOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)` and `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#startOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)`.
However, it's preferred to use `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#checkOp(java.lang.String,%20int,%20java.lang.String)`, since the word "unsafe"
in the name of this API is no longer accurate.
This API does not modify the time stamp or other data about the operation.
| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `op` | `String`: The operation to check. One of the OPSTR_\* constants. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `uid` | `int`: The user id of the application attempting to perform the operation.
|
| `packageName` | `String`: The name of the application attempting to perform the operation. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `int` | Returns `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_ALLOWED` if the operation is allowed, or `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AppOpsManager#MODE_IGNORED` if it is not allowed and should be silently ignored (without causing the app to crash).
|
| Throws ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/SecurityException` | If the app has been configured to crash on this op. |
