Android Permissions

In Android, an application needs permissions from user to use certain type of resources e.g. if your application wants to have functionality to read user's contacts, then you need permission "READ_CONTACTS" permission. Similarly in order to use internet of user's device, you need "INTERNET_PERMISSION". There is a long list of permissions which you have to include if you want to use a particular type of functionality in your application. This list is documented in Manifest.permission class.
