The XML spec for <permission>
and <permission-group>
refers to an icon which you see in Settings | App info | Permissions.
If I already have the permission an app needs in the from of a string from querying the PackageInfo, for example "android.permission.INTERNET", how can I get the associated permission and permission-group icon?
According to this, following approach should work: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
PermissionInfo info = pm.getPermissionInfo("PERMISSION_NAME", OPTIONAL_FLAGS);
int drawableResource = info.icon;
There's also a method in PackageManager called getPermissionGroupInfo
.
