<p>
  To protect the system's integrity and the user's privacy, Android runs each
  app in a limited access sandbox. If the app wants to use resources or
  information outside of its sandbox, the app has to explicitly request
  permission. Depending on the type of permission the app requests, the system
  may grant the permission automatically, or the system may ask the user to
  grant the permission.

  This class shows you how to declare and request permissions for your app.
