Minimizing Permissions
Minimizing Permissions <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
Minimizing Permissions Crashlytics.setUserEmail(“

Permissions: Runtime Detection protected boolean canCheckNetworkState() { String permission =

Multiple Application Types
Multiple Application Types package com.example; import android.app.Service; public class MyService
