Link between Android Permissions and Permission Groups

Question

I an new to Android Development. I was looking at the android manifest permissions. There are two things. Permissions and Permission Groups. I know that the list at

Answer 1

The Android source contains the actual mappings between the default permission groups and permissions.

https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core/res/AndroidManifest.xml

If you wanted a mapping from permission group to permission you could take AndroidMainifest.xml file for the version of Android you are working with and parse the XML to create the mapping. So to answer your question yes it is possible, but it sounds like this may be overkill for your task.

UPDATE: Because I actually needed this mapping myself for another project I decided to share my code to create this mapping. You can view the results in the github repository.

UPDATE 2:

My group open sourced our solution that generates this mapping and some other object wrappers around Android documentation for permissions. There are some tutorials on the project page and the github repo.
