Following up those links, you find pages which exclusively deal with that one permission. If we have one page to deal with 200+ permissions, some of them having 5+ answers, it's simply a mess. | |

| Feb 11, 2015 at 9:56 | comment | added | Izzy | I disagree, Matthew. Questions on a single permission can require quite elaborate answers (see just the one on READ_PHONE_STATE). Having all of them in a single "thread" would be everything, but definitely not structured and comprehensible. Think of only 5 such detailed answers as with the example mentioned, all mixed on a single page. How would you be supposed to filter out the ones for the permission you're interested in, without jumping around the page like a squirrel hunting for hazelnuts? | |
