| ↳ | [android.content.ContextParams](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/ContextParams#) |

This class represents rules around how a context being created via[Context.createContext](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/Context#createContext(android.content.ContextParams))should behave.

One of the dimensions to customize is how permissions should behave. For example, you can specify how permission accesses from a context should be attributed in the platform's permission tracking system.

The two main types of attribution are: against an attribution tag which is an arbitrary string your app specifies for the purposes of tracking permission accesses from a given portion of your app; against another package and optionally its attribution tag if you are accessing the data on behalf of another app and you will be passing that data to this app, recursively. Both attributions are not mutually exclusive.
