Fields

public static final Creator<PermissionGroupInfo> CREATOR

Since: API Level 1

public int descriptionRes

Since: API Level 1

A string resource identifier (in the package's resources) of this permission's description. From the "description" attribute or, if not set, 0.

public CharSequence nonLocalizedDescription

Since: API Level 1

The description string provided in the AndroidManifest file, if any. You probably don't want to use this, since it will be null if the description is in a resource. You probably want loadDescription(PackageManager) instead.

Public Constructors

public PermissionGroupInfo ()

Since: API Level 1

public PermissionGroupInfo (PermissionGroupInfo orig)

Since: API Level 1

Public Methods

public int describeContents ()

Since: API Level 1

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable's marshalled representation.

Returns
  • a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshalled by the Parcelable.

public CharSequence loadDescription (PackageManager pm)

Since: API Level 1

Retrieve the textual description of this permission. This will call back on the given PackageManager to load the description from the application.

Parameters
pm A PackageManager from which the label can be loaded; usually the PackageManager from which you originally retrieved this item.
Returns
  • Returns a CharSequence containing the permission's description. If there is no description, null is returned.

public String toString ()

Since: API Level 1

Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression: 

   getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

See Writing a useful toString method if you intend implementing your own toString method.

Returns
  • a printable representation of this object.

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, int parcelableFlags)

Since: API Level 1
