# Get racket and this code
* Grab the racket language from http://racket-lang.org/download/
* Add the 'racket' binary to your path:
``` $ export PATH="/Users/user/Downloads/Local Applications/Racket\ v5.3/bin/:${PATH}" ```
* Download this code:
```
$ git clone [email protected]:dweinstein/android-permissions.git
```
* You can either run DrRacket and load the 'gui.rkt' file and run it, or use the terminal:
# GUI usage:
To run the GUI (open a terminal and navigate to this directory):
```
$ racket gui.rkt
```
# REPL usage
```racket
$ racket
Welcome to Racket v5.3.
-> (require "permissions.rkt")
-> (current-platform)
(platform "Android 2.2.X" 8 "FROYO" #)
```
## API available
From [permissions.rkt](https://github.com/dweinstein/android-permissions/blob/master/permissions.rkt)
```racket
(provide platform-for-version
lookup/perm->apis
lookup/api->perm
lookup-permission/re
lookup-api/re
get-platform-strings
get-permission-strings
current-platform)
```
## Android Platforms Spported
```
-> (get-platform-strings)
'("froyo" "gingerbread" "honeycomb" "ics" "jellybean")
```
## Change platform
By changing the 'current-platform' you can adjust the context of the methods when doing lookup operations.
```racket
-> (current-platform)
(platform "Android 2.2.X" 8 "FROYO" #)
-> (current-platform 'ics)
-> (current-platform)
(platform
"Android 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2"
14
"ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH"
#)
```
## Find permissions
```racket
-> (lookup-permission/re "bluetooth")
'("android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" "android.permission.BLUETOOTH")
```
## Lookup APIs and their permissions
Note that the lookup-api/re function uses a case sensitive matching:
```racket
-> (lookup-api/re "sms")
'("boolean com.android.contacts.ContactsListActivity$ContactsSearchActivity.smsContact(android.database.Cursor)"
"boolean com.android.contacts.SearchResultsActivity.smsContact(android.database.Cursor)"
"boolean com.android.contacts.ContactsListActivity$JoinContactActivity.smsContact(android.database.Cursor)"
"boolean com.android.contacts.ContactsListActivity.smsContact(android.database.Cursor)")
```
Now what if you wanted to see for each of these APIs, what permissions do they exercise each individually:
```racket
-> (map (lambda (api)
(lookup/api->perm api))
(lookup-api/re "sms"))
'(("android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"
"android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"
"android.permission.READ_CONTACTS")
("android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"
"android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"
"android.permission.READ_CONTACTS")
("android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"
"android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"
"android.permission.READ_CONTACTS")
("android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"
"android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"
"android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"))
```
Now we see that they all somehow interact with GET_ACCOUNTS, WRITE_CONTACTS, and READ_CONTACTS.
