Search for Android apps by permissions, features and intentions

Are there services that allow the user to search or browse the Android application market by specifying application permissions (e.g. android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO ), functions (e.g. android.hardware.microphone ), running or filtered intentions (e.g. android.speech.action.RECOGNIZE_SPEECH )?

I am interested in hosting third-party applications that can complement my application in the Android environment so that I can recommend such applications to my users, ideally programmatically. So far I have used Google code search queries such as http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=RECOGNIZE_SPEECH , but they only cover open source applications. Is there a better way?

Update: Please note that Google Code Search has been closed. Sad. It was a really helpful service.

If you're interested, I developed an application, StripSearch, to filter search lists by permissions used. The application works by excluding results that do not meet the permission requirements specified by this search filter (the filter can exclude, require, or ignore specific permissions). Several filters are enabled by default, but you can also create your own.

Get StripSearch here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hasslefixes.stripsearch

If you want to see a demo explaining its use, you can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mynw3rbky5A

StripSearch is free, does not include adware or spyware, and uses only the following permissions:

  • android.permission.INTERNET (obviously need to look in the store)
  • com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES (required to obtain the Android Android ID from Google Play associated with the phone and account).

Give it a try!

No, you cannot do this. The only way I can see is to create your own tracked mechanism using http://code.google.com/p/android-market-api/

From a related question , ApeFS , which is the -end front to the Play store with permission filters in the search results.

You can use market filters.
See examples on this page.
And indicate your permission in uses function
