(Is there a way to | How do I) include a custom description for the base android permissions for my application?
For example, here’s the default description of Your location permission as of Android 4.0.
coarse (network-based) location, fine (GPS) location
I want to change that to say
Ability to read your location is required by Feature X
Or something to that effect. Is this possible?
You cannot. There’s simply no way to define it in the Android Manifest beside declaring that your app wants permission X, Y or Z. That being said, I believe this is something a number of developers desire out of Android. An alternative solution is to describe why you need the permissions in the Description section of your app when it reaches the Android Market.
