Android permissions: who is using what?

Question

Android M is soon here, with the new permission API. I bet there are lot's of developers out there not in control of their permissions, trying to figure out what is being used where. At least that's the case for a few of my apps.

Are there any good way of getting the overview over what permission is being used where? Either an overview over what API is using what permission, or something else.

My method so far have been

a) trying to identify which API uses the permission, and locate it. In addition to my own memory and the apps features b) remove permission and see what breaks

Answer 1

Android Studio (latest version, latest SDK) does a pretty good job of warning you to check for permissions where needed, so it is not so difficult to find out where to add checks if permissions were granted.
