The application takes 17ownership of all names within the tree. It can dynamically add new permissions 18to the tree by calling <code>{@link android.content.pm.PackageManager#addPermission PackageManager.addPermission()}</code>. Names within the tree are separated by 19periods ('{@code .}'). For example, if the base name is 20{@code com.example.project.taxes}, permissions like the following might be 21added: 22 23<p style="margin-left: 2em">{@code com.example.project.taxes.CALCULATE} 24<br/>{@code com.example.project.taxes.deductions.MAKE_SOME_UP} 25<br/>{@code com.example.project.taxes.deductions.EXAGGERATE}</p> 26 27<p> 28Note that this element does not declare a permission itself, only a 29namespace in which further permissions can be placed. See the 30<code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/permission-element.html"><permission></a></code> 31element for information on declaring permissions. 32 33<dt>attributes:</dt> 34<dd><dl class="attr"> 35<dt><a name="icon"></a>{@code android:icon}</dt> 36<dd>An icon representing all the permissions in the tree. This attribute 37must be set as a reference to a drawable resource containing the image 38definition.</dd> 39 40<dt><a name="label"></a>{@code android:label}</dt> 41<dd>A user-readable name for the group. As a convenience, the label can 42be directly set as a raw string for quick and dirty programming. However, 43when the application is ready to be published, it should be set as a 44reference to a string resource, so that it can be localized like other 45strings in the user interface.</dd> 46 47<dt><a name="nm"></a>{@code android:name}</dt> 48<dd>The name that's at the base of the permission tree. It serves as 49a prefix to all permission names in the tree. Java-style scoping should 50be used to ensure that the name is unique. The name must have more than 51two period-separated segments in its path — for example, 52{@code com.example.base} is OK, but {@code com.example} is not.</dd> 53 54</dl></dd> 55 56<!-- ##api level indication## --> 57<dt>introduced in:</dt> 58<dd>API Level 1</dd> 59 60<dt>see also:</dt> 61<dd><code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/permission-element.html"><permission></a></code> 62<br/><code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/permission-group-element.html"><permission-group></a></code> 63<br/><code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-permission-element.html"><uses-permission></a></code> 64</dd> 65 66</dl> 67
