Question

How can I get all applications that have the internet permission in Android? How can I do that? any idea?

Answer 1

You need to iterate over all installed apps, using the PackageManager.GET_PERMISSIONS flag. You can then check if the internet permission is in the returned value.

Sample code (based on this answer ):

PackageManager p = context.getPackageManager(); 
final List<PackageInfo> apps = p.getInstalledPackages(PackageManager.GET_PERMISSIONS);
for (PackageInfo pkg : apps) {
    for (String permission : pkg.requestedPermissions) {
        // Check if permission is the internet permission
    }
}
